BEIJING (Reuters) - Enemy forces in the West are trying to "falsify" the history of China's ruling Communist Party and its military and force a "color revolution" on troops who are too susceptible to outside influences, the military's official newspaper said on Tuesday.

President Xi Jinping has repeatedly reminded the military to be loyal to the party, as he also steps up efforts to fight graft in the army and modernize forces that are projecting power across the disputed waters of the East and South China Seas, though it has not fought a war in decades.

In a front page commentary, the official People's Liberation Army Daily said that unnamed enemies in the West were trying to undermine the military.

"Hostile Western forces are sparing no effort to belittle our fine traditions, denigrating our heroes and falsifying our party's and military's history," it said, without giving details.
