Ready for the Cold War: China Changes Its Military Policy

1
Recently we Reported about the reaction of the Chinese "comrades" to the initiative of the Europeans, regarding the creation of an army of the European Union to protect against the United States, Russia and China. Therefore, it is not surprising that Beijing has decided to change its military strategy and many will obviously not like it. After all, even before that, Beijing was looked very sideways from Washington.


Until recently, the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) was preparing mainly for a defensive war. It was a habitual strategy based on self-defense. But now the generals of the Celestial Empire are changing priorities and are starting to rely on a strategy of “proactive planning,” which implies delivering a “surprise strike”. What the South China Morning Post reports.

The reasons that prompted the Chinese military to think about changing military strategy are simple and logical. China has grown, and with the economy grew up and his military Technology, and after them the sphere of influence and ambition expanded. So the Chinese became “crowded”. And so that no one could be taken by surprise, then we must pre-empt.

Chinese experts clarify that the PLA may soon have to fight on the islands or high in the mountains. So, it is necessary to increase the combat readiness of the PLA, to strengthen the interaction of the combat arms. And pay special attention to the development of cyber weapons and unmanned vehicles.

The publication clarifies that in China more and more calls are being made for the modernization of the PLA. The emphasis is on increasing tension in relations with the United States. And the strategy of "proactive planning", according to the Chinese "comrades", will allow us to deliver an unexpected blow to the enemy and lead to victory.

It should be noted that before that, US Vice President Mike Pence very menacingly said that if China does not agree to change its economic and military policies, for the sake of improving relations, Washington is ready to start a "cold war" against it. And so, Beijing gave an answer.

By the way, the United States is confident that they are stronger than China, and this, incidentally, was not Washington’s first “run over” to Beijing in a similar tone. Even earlier, the same Pence accused the Chinese "comrades" of meddling in US internal affairs. Allegedly, they tried to "manipulate American democracy", showing a desire to change the US president. But now Washington will have to make a decision, unless of course before that, just “cowboyly”, did not try to take Beijing “weakly”.

    Do not mislead people and give such "hope" for a military conflict between the US and Europe. It will not happen. The conflict (hostilities) between China and Russia is more likely than the conflict between the United States and China.
