Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to strengthen its skills for a full-scale war following a military exercise around the Taiwan Strait.
According to India’s NDTV, citing China’s CCTV, Xi urged Chinese soldiers to enhance their readiness for war after Beijing conducted military drills near Taiwan.
The report states that Xi made these remarks on Thursday during a visit to a unit of the PLA Rocket Force.
The Chinese president emphasized that the military must “fully intensify training and preparation for war” and ensure the forces possess strong combat capabilities.
Xi’s call for increased military readiness comes just after China concluded one of its largest military exercises around the Taiwan Strait.
As tensions continue to rise in the region, Xi’s comments signal China’s focus on bolstering its military might, particularly in response to Taiwan’s delicate situation. The international community is closely watching these developments, concerned about the potential for escalation in the region.
The recent Chinese military exercises around the Taiwan Strait have heightened tensions between China and Taiwan, signaling Beijing’s increased focus on asserting its claims over the island. These drills have raised concerns about potential conflict in the region.
