China in the process of struggle?
Chinese President Xi Jinping (67) urged the soldiers to visit a military base in the southern province of Guangdong. to “give all your thoughts and strength in preparation for war.”
It should “maintain a state of high alert”. Jinping also asked the soldiers to be “absolutely loyal, absolutely pure, and absolutely trustworthy.” The CNN news channel reported, citing a message from the Chinese “Xinhua” news agency.
Xi was in Guangdong on Wednesday to deliver a speech on the 40th anniversary of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
However, the military visit also comes at a time when tensions between China and the United States are at their highest in a long time.
The reason: disagreements over Taiwan and the coronavirus pandemic. These had recently led to massive divisions between Washington and Beijing.
“Cancel arms sales to Taiwan immediately”
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian (47) also called on Washington to “cancel all plans to sell arms to Taiwan” and to sever all “military relations between the United States and Taiwan.”
Background: The White House announced to the US Congress on Monday that it would sell three advanced weapons to Taiwan.
Although Taiwan has never been controlled by the ruling Communist Party of China, Beijing authorities insist that the democratic and autonomous island is an integral part of their territory. Xi himself does not rule out military force to conquer it if necessary.
