War drums. China is rapidly preparing for a great battle

Chinese scientists share privately that the expulsion of their foreign colleagues from China universities is similar to the preparation for hostilities. Focus has translated the new text of Gordon K. Chang, dedicated to China's intensive preparation for the Great War. The People's Republic of China is preparing for war and does not even try to hide it.

Amendments to the National Defense Law, which came into force on the first day of last year, transfer the powers of civilian officials to the military. These changes reduce the role of the State Council in the Central Government, transferring power to the CEC - the central military commission of the Communist Party. In particular, the State Council will no longer control mobilization in the People's Liberation Army.

According to Jzen Hypin of the University of Dry Hong Kong South China Morning Post: "The CEC is now formally responsible for the development of policies and principles of national defense, and the State Council becomes simply an executive department that supports the army. " In a sense, these amendments were a "facade".

"Recent changes in the Law on National Defense of China, which cuts the powers of the State Council, are largely a political posture," Richard Fisher from the Virjin International Center for Assessment and Strategy told me shortly after the amendments came into force. Supreme authority over the decisions concerning war and peace.

" According to Fisher, amendments "indicate China's desire to reach the level of military mobilization of the" all nation "for war and give the CCP official powers to control China's future opportunities in the event of large -scale military intervention. " "The revised national defense law also embodies the concept that everyone should be involved in national defense," reports Global Times, which belongs to the Communist Party, referring to the anonymous official of the CCC Central Committee.

Groups of citizens, enterprises, public and other organizations must support and participate in the development of national defense, to fulfill responsibilities and missions from national defense in accordance with the law. " As Fisher said in an interview with 19Fotyfive this month: "The last 40 years of China Communist Party has been preparing for a cruel war, and now the governing organization is accelerating the training.

" In preparation for hostilities, the party leaves nothing in case of fate. In March, its central organizational department issued an internal directive that forbids spouses and children of ministerial level officials to possess foreign real estate or shares registered in offshore areas. The prohibition apparently applies to the officials themselves, as there is a report of the sale of foreign assets.

In addition, such officials and their closest relatives are not allowed to open accounts with foreign financial institutions, except exceptional cases. A directive issued shortly after the imposition of sanctions against Russian officials for a "special military operation" in Ukraine is apparently intended to protect against sanctions of Chinese officials. In addition, the central government is trying to protect against sanctions and itself.

On April 22, officials from the Ministry of Finance and Central Bank met with dozens of banks, given the HSBC to discuss that Beijing can take measures in the event of action against China. Information about the "emergency meeting" reported by Financial Times is very ominous. "Officials and participants of the meeting did not call specific scenarios, but one of the possible reasons for the introduction of such sanctions is the invasion of China into Taiwan," says FT.

- The fact of this meeting is an obvious sign that Beijing plans hostilities. " "Be prepared for battle. " This is how the Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post summarized the first order of the Chinese ruler Si Jinping in 2019. In January this year, he made a great speech on preparation for war, and this appeal was then broadcast throughout the country. Foreign analysts argue about whether China is going to fight soon.

The Chinese political system later became completely opaque, so it is unclear what the highest leaders think. However, it is clear what they actually do. They prepare the troops for the next advance for the line of actual control in Ladax, preparing to seize the new Indian territories of the Himalayas. In November last and in June this year, they resumed attempts to block the replenishment of the Filipino outpost in Thomas in the South Chinese Sea.

At the end of July, they ordered four courts to join Japan's sovereign waters around contradictory but Japan-controlled islands in Senkac in the East Chinese Sea. They arrange constant provocations around Taiwan, including a violation of the island's sovereign airspace in early February. And there is some more unmistakable: these and senior executives prepare China citizens for war. About the author: Gordon G. Chang is an employee of 19Fotyfive.
