Chinese Communist President Xi Jinping ordered the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to ramp up its preparedness for war, as reported by Chinese state media on Saturday, according to Barrons.
Xi’s call for heightened military readiness comes just days after China conducted large-scale military drills surrounding Taiwan.
While visiting a brigade of the PLA Rocket Force on Thursday, Xi Jinping urged troops to “comprehensively strengthen training and preparation for war” and to ensure they possess “solid combat capabilities.”
This latest move demonstrates the growing intensity of China’s military ambitions and its continued focus on Taiwan, which the Chinese Communist Party views as part of its territory.
Xi’s directive comes in the wake of Beijing’s deployment of fighter jets, drones, warships, and coast guard vessels in a show of force aimed directly at Taiwan, according to Barrons.
The exercises mark the fourth major round of war games targeting the island in just over two years. With each military maneuver, China inches closer to its longstanding threat of using force to bring Taiwan under its control.
This escalation is the direct result of what happens when you have a weak U.S. president in office. Conservatives have long warned that China’s growing aggressiveness would only worsen under an administration that fails to project strength on the world stage.
The Biden regime’s passive stance on foreign policy has emboldened Xi Jinping to push his military ambitions forward.

This could be the Oct Surprise
Planned for DJT chaos around the world and chaos at home you can bet
Israel has conducted major military operations, for many reasons, however with the current POTUS in not just a lame duck scenario, but also full blown senility, there isn’t a US voice of authority in global peace. This threw the window wide open for the balloons to go up.
Perhaps China also sees this as a wide open window, which could slam shut with Trump returning and they may move on Taiwan very soon, while the window is open.
I think they’re waiting to see election resuls. If calluse knee Harris wins there will be war.
For how many years have I been reading this headline?
Wars and rumors of wars. What can it mean?
The NORKS, the Mullahs in Tehran, the CCP and Putin are waiting not for the election results, just the day after election day; knowing the inept Biden-Harris machine remains in charge till January regardless of the election results. They can make a lot of military headway in two months of U.S. confusion.
Shocker. /s
Collecting all the invasion boats together and loading them would take weeks. And, Taiwan could develop a nuclear weapon over a long weekend.
If a military doesn’t prepare for war continuously, then it’s not a very useful military.
Perhpas it's a November/December surprise.
Kamala cheats and wins. China invades Taiwan. WW III heats up. Big Media and the DOJ tells the country to unite around the (disputed) "winner", Kamala.
What? Isn’t a military supposed to always be ready for war? Xi doesn’t think they are, so he has to admonish them to get ready? Of course no one in their military has been in a war before, so what do they know?
Every time China surround’s Taiwan they let the military on that tiny island have a chance to zero in their weapons and practice their defense. If China can take Taiwan, why haven’t they? Because Xi thinks they can’t. And Xi knows about the ICBMs Taiwan has that are zeroed in on the big cities in china.
The exercises mark the fourth major round of war games targeting the island in just over two years.
Exercises every six months...
And each time more assets are left in place.
A time will come when they feel they have enough.
Maybe they have a different society but one wonders the need for a general order like this being given in public.
You’d think there would be stealthy preparations for war.
Also, in the modern age it’s more a case of ships and missiles than whooping up troops along a border.
I think it’s reflective of their dictatorship.
Also, China is a murderous scumbag country. There is zero need for them to have a war anywhere.
We need Taiwan. Maybe offer China New Zealand as a consolation prize. We won’t miss New Zealand.
China: Prepare for war.
Pentagon: Make damn sure you get your pronouns right and see to it you tamp down your white rage.
I assume someone on our side has told them we will not permit an invasion. But then the administration is inept.
Keep in mind we’re also having exercises with allies.
Japan, Australia and others also do not want to lose Taiwan, so they would insist on action.
Well, of course. China has only a few more months of this Administration. Harris loses, Taiwan’s in big trouble.
