Xi Jinping is preparing China for war! This conclusion was made by the American edition of Foreign Affairs based on the public statements of the President of China.
At the annual meeting of the Chinese Parliament and its highest political advisory body in March, Xi Jinping addressed the topic of readiness for war in four separate speeches.
emphasizes Foreign Affairs.
The publication notes several more reasons that make us think that the Celestial Empire is seriously preparing for a military conflict.
The first reason is the growth of the PRC defense budget. The Chinese government has previously stated that it increased it immediately by 7,2%. And in recent months, Beijing has unveiled new military readiness laws.
New bomb shelters have appeared in Chinese cities. This is the second reason to think that the country is preparing for war. And when you consider that new National Defense Mobilization offices have begun to appear all over China, you can’t think otherwise.
It is too early to say for sure what these events mean. Conflict is not certain or imminent. But something has changed in Beijing policy and business leaders around the world cannot afford to be ignored. If Xi Jinping says he is preparing for war, it would be foolish not to take his word for it
– summarizes the publication.
At the same time, it is not specified what kind of conflict the Celestial Empire is preparing for. Whether it will be an operation to seize Taiwan or an exclusively defensive war is known only to Foreign Affairs journalists.
