CN Xi Jinping Asks Troops To Prepare For War As Battle Drills Intensify Around Taiwan - Soldiers must "enhance their strategic deterrent and combat capability," Xi said.

China's Xi Jinping called this week for troops to strengthen their preparedness for war.

Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping called this week for troops to strengthen their preparedness for war, state media reported today, just days after Beijing staged large-scale military drills around Taiwan.

Xi made his comments while visiting a brigade of the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force on Thursday, according to state-run broadcaster CCTV.

Xi said the military should "comprehensively strengthen training and preparation for war, (and) ensure troops have solid combat capabilities", state media CCTV reported.

Soldiers must "enhance their strategic deterrent and combat capability," Xi said.

China, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory, has stepped up its shows of force around the self-ruled island in recent years.

On Monday, Beijing had deployed fighter jets, drones, warships and coast guard vessels to encircle Taiwan -- its fourth round of large-scale war games around the democratic island in just over two years.

China's communist leaders have insisted they will not rule out using force to bring Taiwan under Beijing's control.

Xi on Thursday said the Chinese military must "strongly safeguard the country's strategic security and core interests", according to the CCTV report.

The dispute between China and Taiwan dates back to a civil war in which the nationalist forces of Chiang Kai-shek were defeated by Mao Zedong's communist fighters and fled to the island in 1949.

China and Taiwan have been ruled separately since then.

Where do you think the chips to make the shit that they most use to control people comes from.

How else will they put a price hike on the drugs (tech) that niggercattle are addicted to.

Also, stop double posting like a retarded faggot and calm down.

Cry moar wannabe janny and neck yourself.

Just increase the price for no reason or say "supply shortage" ???? Like they are doing ???

It only works so well and for so much. Remember the oil price rises when the Ukraine war kicked off? They got to such a peak that the price then had to be lowered, leaving everyone with even half a brain to say "Wait a minute, if the price can go down because of the war, why did it go up so much?".
Fuel is still 10p higher now than it was pre-war, but it's still up.

A war in Taiwan would have the faggot seals clapping, saying a price rise isn't happening/it is happening but it doesn't matter/ it does matter and here's why it's a good thing.

The psychological conditioning of normies has become so engrained that it's easy as fuck to do now. Like a trained dog who responds on demand to command words, people don't need the treat or to be told 10 times anymore.

I don't think China ever intends to get Taiwan by military force, they will just buy Taiwan once there's no more Uncle Sam around to keep them in check. The Chinese play the long game, that's why they don't have or need democracy. Under the western notion of democracy, leaders only think on 4 year terms, and if they lose, the next leader will just undo everything the previous one did.

Since China only has one party, they can think for 5, 10, or even 50 years ahead. There's no need to rush, the unification will be economic.

Honestly you have nothing to worry about because if George Soros wants to give Taiwan to China then it will happen regardless of how much fretting you do.

This shit happens every year and the reason its being brought up is because some journo needs to get a story out to continue getting a paycheck. The Taiwanese people, at least according to my relatives in Japan, have largely checked out regarding Chinas sabre rattling.

That being said, Taiwan's military is tech seriously needs to be upgraded. Most of their naval vessels are old US Navy ships that were laid down in the 1960's and 1970's. Their Army still uses still uses M60 Patton tanks, which were the main tank for the US until the immediate end of the Cold War. Their Air Force is a little better with F-16's but they won't be much.

Their Air Force is honestly pretty solid. Much like the Bongs in WW2, having an air force that can wreck any attempts at a landing is a far better use of funds and manpower than building up ground forces. Not that both aren't good, but an army isn't needed if the enemy can't even set foot on your soil. They've also started to swap out a lot of their older coastal defenses with modern land-based Harpoons bought from the USA, and those are probably the best missiles out there right now.

As to their navy... navies are pretty expensive, and at best they'd be able to do a delaying action until the Japanese and Australians are able to show up and help out. Which is why IIRC they've bought a couple of modern attack subs to act as a deterrent force for anything in the straits.

Even Xi is smart enough to know he commands a military made up of sons and some daughters of one-child families. He can't stand the reaction of thousands upon thousands of aged parents who have just lost their sons in a failed invasion of Taiwan.

And even Xi is smart enough to realize, least I hope, that conducting an invasion across a defended strait against a defended shore, without any prior experience in large-scale amphibious landings, is just asking for your dick to get knocked into the dirt.

Honest question, what's to stop China from just parking ships offshore and hitting Taiwan nonstop for a month with cruise missiles and artillery barrage and everything else while threatening to lob nukes if America sends a fleet anywhere in the Pacific?

They've been pushing Zero Day pretty hard. Could be propaganda, could be predictive programming, could be a ratings grab. But it doesn't really matter what the Taiwanese people think, what matters is what Xi Jinping thinks.

The Taiwanese also have submarines and an air force, am sure they exercise to meet that very contingency.

China would lose, and lose very badly, in a bilateral nuclear exchange with the USA, and they know it.

great, another war for the faggot American Government to waste our tax dollars on

 

[Mettaur]

Seconding Nothing ever Happens. It would be a supremely retarded strategic blunder, even worse than Russia invading Ukraine.
The fucking Nanosecond a Chinese boot hits dirt, the semi-conductor factories are going up in smoke.

Xi's economy would also immediately collapse. They rely on trade from the US in-order to function. They also import most of their food. If they invade Taiwan it's going to trigger the exact same response that Russia invading Ukraine had. Only unlike Russia, China's exports can be very easily replaced. Since manufacturing can just switch to Mexico. It's essentially cutting your nose to spite your face. All of the work Deng Xiaoping made to lift China out of poverty would evaporate in an instant if he did it.

They rely on all sorts of imports, food, raw materials, and fuel, which come over the oceans. These ocean lanes are guarded by the US Navy, and you can bet we keep close track of what is heading to China. Guess whose imports will be stopped/sunk by the US Navy should China try to take Taiwan? Guess what the Chinese Navy will be able to do about it? Little or nothing; their fleet has few blue-water vessels and even less combat experience.

"A hybrid warfare campaign begins spreading disinformation through sympathetic influencers on social media to erode Taiwanese morale, while Chinese hackers hijack Taiwan's local broadcast media, using AI-generated deepfakes of the Taiwanese president declaring war on China to deceive Taiwan's citizenry into surrendering."

Holy fuck man, that's beyond predictive programming. It feels like an actual event from some fucked up timeline.

Do it China. Fuckin do it. Then we get to nuke your ass into glass. The fall of the CCP is long overdue.

Far more likely the Chinese blow the dam themselves to stop America from taking Hong Kong

 

[Übertroon]

Invading Taiwan would be a stupid move considering Taiwan is too close to China to ever leave its sphere of influence no matter how much certain politicians would say otherwise, and an invasion would be a massive waste of resources.
You only have to wait for the US economy to get to the point that they can't guarantee sovereignity for lands on the other side of the globe

You realize the river it's connected to leads to Shanghai, right? It would kill millions. They are going to protect it with everything they have. Not to mention it provides a substantial amount of electricity to the surrounding area. They need the dam.
