“President Xi Jinping has stressed breaking new ground in enhancing the leadership of the Communist Party of China over the armed forces to provide a strong political guarantee for achieving the centenary goal of the People's Liberation Army. Xi, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in an instruction to a meeting on the Party building in the armed forces.”

(any resemblance to North Korea is entirely coincidental and unintended by CCTV)

Note-taking for the camera? It’s unlikely the soldiers are really taking notes as they scratch their pens on a print-out, presumably the text of the important speech.

Maybe they are just highlighting or underlining words they don’t know.
