Analysts say China's leader Xi Jinping has set the legal basis for an expansion of the Chinese military's role in other countries, just weeks after Beijing signed a security pact with Solomon Islands.
With little published detail, Mr Xi's government declared he had signed off on a set of new trial outlines that allowed for Chinese "armed forces operations" that were not war.
Chairman Xi, as he is widely known in China in reference to his position as chairman of the Central Military Commission, signed off on 59 articles, according to state media, but they were not published.
Instead, government reports say they set a legal basis within China for the People's Liberation Army to "safeguard China's national sovereignty, security and development interests", according to an article in the Communist Party's media Global Times.
Chinese troops can prevent spillover effects of regional instabilities from affecting China, secure vital transport routes for strategic materials like oil, or safeguard China's overseas investments, projects and personnel," the report in the Global Times said.
It also said the guidelines would define the military's role in activities that it already undertook, such as disaster relief, aid missions and peacekeeping.
Mr Xi's decision to promote and legally legitimise non-war "military operations" has raised eyebrows because it has come just months after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine under the guise of a "special military operation".

Thanks, Brandon!
The Special Formosa Operation.
Stay tuned for the island-hopping campaign
Will he allow their bodies to returned ?
The price of stolen elections keeps going up.
Libtard Inflation...
You thought the Russian military is overrated? Wait to see those clowns try to fight.
They will go head-to-head with the Australian Myocarditis Brigades.
Australia reaping their just desserts. There’s a lot more Chinese than Aussies.
Hopefully they try here. I need to zero in my rifle.
This is one way to correct the Chinese male to female disparity.
Ukraine ping
Biden’s refusal to supply Ukraine with urgently-needed equipment has likely given Xi Jinping the reassurance he needs that Biden will not intervene over Taiwan. Which means the remaining years of Biden’s term will afford Xi Jinping the best chance he’ll have in his own lifetime to improve his standing in the pantheon of Chinese rulers, by doing what Mao could not - add Taiwan to the Chinese empire. Carter lost Nicaragua and Iran. Biden will lose Afghanistan, Ukraine *and* Taiwan.
Based on Biden’s past record prior to becoming president, Xi would be quite justified in assuming that Biden’s 3 assertions - that he will come to Taiwan’s defense, if China invades - are empty threats.
Biden advised Obama against the bin Laden operation.

When a high level Chinese official with direct connections to the Politburo attempted to defect to a US consulate, Biden ordered the State Department to hand him back to the Chinese.
A Republican president - or even a Democratic one who’s not Joe Biden - might not be as accommodating.
The Indians did hand them there asses in the last border dispute but I believe the Chinese have designs for the Eunuch kingdoms of Australia and New Zealand.
$40B ain’t chump change. Especially when it’s not our circus and not our monkeys.
That’s $40B of our money.

If I were Xi and the CCP, I’d leave Vietnam and the Indians alone.
Just sayin

The 19th century was the British century.
The 20th century was the American century.
Some say the 21st century will be the Chinese century.
We shall see.
“The Indians did hand them there asses in the last border dispute but I believe the Chinese have designs for the Eunuch kingdoms of Australia and New Zealand.”
Being part of the UK, that would bring England into the game in a big way. Just wondering what the other 11 members of the UK might have to say. Pretty sure Canada’s Justine Trudoh will wet her pants and hide out. Not sure about the rest.
Perfect time for it Chairman Xi with the tapered stool we have in the White House.
We’ll have to take Iwo Jima all over again.
