Chinese leader (Xi Jinping) has commanded the regime’s military to focus on “preparing for war,” as Beijing looks to make a splash in 2021—the year marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
In the first order of the year, Xi instructed the forces to ratchet up military training. As chairman of the regime’s Central Military Commission (CMC), Xi is head of the People’s Liberation Army.
[snip]Li Linyi, a U.S.-based China commentator, said at the time that the remarks were more rhetoric than anything else.
“The purpose of the high-profile war propaganda is to put some pressure on Taiwan and the United States. That’s it. At the same time, it [CCP] must satisfy the domestic nationalistic sentiments,” he said.
Small consolation but they are good at suppressing Muslims....
What were they preparing for?
The prom?
Taiwan... possibly more, perhaps India.
China might successfully invade Taiwan. India? Not a snowball’s chance in hell.
“...Joe Biden is compromised by the Chinese leadership...rhetoric or not.....”
Compromised?? Just compromised???
Chair Zhou will be welcomed in to CCP, along with the 50 new North American CCP provinces, by Chairman Xi with open arms.
China might successfully invade Taiwan. India? Not a snowball’s chance in hell.

However, it can take most of SE Asia without a shot (ok, maybe Singapore might fight back) and whoever controls SE Asia controls all the Pacific shipping routes.
Do these acts (in 2020 alone) not meet the tenants of China's planned Unrestricted Warfare?
Why, yes. I think they do.
China has been at war with the United States for the last two decades, and increasingly since 2008. It's a slow grind against our culture, our history, our principles of government, and our economy.
If DJT is removed and Biden installed, China's unrestricted warfare against America will continue at a greater pace, and presumably with a great intensity.
Vietnam will not go down without a vicious fight. They freaking HATE the Chinese down there.
And don’t over-estimate the PLA. It’s big, but a lot of its gear is very poor quality. Plane engines are underpowered and have short lifetimes. A lot of the soldiers are pampered only-children. This is a problem that even the Chinese admit. And the corruption amongst the military is massive. Taiwan will not be a cakewalk. Neither would Vietnam. And the Indians have a substantial Navy/Air Force and nukes.
And Gurkhas.
Took 28 years to take over China, maybe never if it wasn’t for Japan, and then us getting Japan out of the picture...
One missile against the Three Gorges Dam and goodbye to millions of Communist pigs...
Surprisingly, many Freepers oppose this.
They already have.

This story runs almost weekly now.
What should Xi be telling his military to prepare for? What is their job?
I know in the US our military prepares for Trans members. But I think they prepare for other things in other armies in the world.
