Xi Jinping has ordered the Chinese military to prepare for war, amid “increased instability and uncertainty” of national security. The Chinese president made the remarks during a trip to the headquarters of the armed forces’ operational command centre in Beijing. The announcement comes amid fears Beijing may be preparing its military to invade self-ruled Taiwan. Beijing has pledged to re-take the self-ruled island, by force if necessary, raising fears of an imminent invasion. This comes at the cusp of existing geopolitical tensions caused due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Xi’s latest remarks at the PLA command centre signalling “preparation for war” cements the fear of invasion.
