Chinese leader Xi Jinping addressed the topic of readiness for war in four separate speeches at the annual meeting of parliament, in one of which he ordered his generals to “fight boldly.”
This is written by Foreign Affairs, whose journalists analyzed the latest speeches of the Chinese leader. In their opinion, Xi Jinping is preparing Beijing for war, in particular against Taiwan. Recently, Xi Jinping’s rhetoric has become more aggressive. The Chinese government has also increased its defense budget by 7.2% (doubling in the past decade), is preparing bomb shelters and beefing up reserve forces.
Foreign Affairs notes that war is still inevitable, but the world can no longer ignore China’s actions. However, in recent months, Beijing has unveiled new military readiness laws, new bomb shelters in cities across the Taiwan Strait, and new National Defense Mobilization offices across the country.
