President Xi Jinping visits the Marine Corps at a base in eastern Guangdong province on Tuesday.
President Xi Jinping spent the second day of his Guangdong tour visiting a military base, where he called on marines to improve combat readiness and stay vigilant. He also toured Shantou, the hometown of many overseas Chinese, on Tuesday.
The president will take part in celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of the Shenzhen special economic zone on Wednesday.
At the military base near Shantou in the east of the province, Xi told marines they should aim to be a “multifunctional, rapid response, all-weather and region” fighting force.
“[You should] focus your minds and energy on preparing to go to war, and stay highly vigilant,” Xi said, according to state broadcaster CCTV.

That might be a problem...China has a One Love Child Policy.

I think they are expecting a Biden win and Biden will give China free leeway.

Partner, the Chicoms have got it all so wrong right now.
First of all, Hiding Biden will not win on Nov. 3rd.
The MSM Pollsters have got it so wrong.

I’m reminded about “inspection-ready” troops vs. the “combat-ready” variety. Seems to me that most of the Chinese military is the former (and Xi knows it).

I’m sure some kind of horrific reboot of Gomer Pyle is somewhere in the development pipeline.

What Xi means is there are way more foot soldiers in the People’s Oppression Army than the Chicoms can support, so prepare to become cannon fodder.

I dint want to downplay what he says, but shouldn’t a leader tell troops to train hard, stay vigilant and prepare for war? Those are some of any military’s most important objectives.
