Beijing will be more aggressive
Reply Youth Today 11/15, Dr. Satoru Nagao (Hudson Research Institute, USA) said that the CMC’s proposed joint strategic cooperation protocol for the PLA is a major transformation of the Chinese military due to the following factors.
First, the ability to combine combat plays a key role in harnessing combat power when the army, air force, and navy cooperate as a united force. Normally, in amphibious operations, the amphibious ship force needs to be bombarded by the air force and the warships attack the enemy to open the way. This process requires close coordination to prevent the fighting force from opening the way to mistakenly attack the amphibious force. Coordination of forces is an important element of the combat capabilities of many countries, including China.
Second, the CMC scheme has made some progress in coordinating forces. Since 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for a reform of the country’s military. The focus of the reform is to develop cooperative combat capabilities. Therefore, China has 7 years of building the principle of combat cooperation.
Third, by gradually achieving coordination of forces, the combat capabilities of the PLA have been strengthened. Since the late 2000s, Beijing has gradually stepped up its activities to provoke neighboring countries. Therefore, when China strengthens the PLA’s ability to coordinate forces, its aggression will increase.
