Recent reports and social media discussions highlight that Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged the military to enhance its combat readiness, emphasizing comprehensive war preparations.
Xi Jinping’s call for heightened war preparations isn’t just routine rhetoric. It’s part of a broader strategic pivot towards enhancing China’s military capabilities, possibly in anticipation of conflicts in the Taiwan Strait or broader geopolitical confrontations. This directive comes at a time when tensions in the Taiwan Strait have been escalating, underscored by military drills simulating the encirclement of Taiwan.
