Xi Jinping has repeatedly called for preparation for war.
Xi Jinping has always emphasized preparing for war and fighting wars. Recently, a senior U.S. official said that Xi sees the attack on Taiwan as a personal achievement and Xi may have to take greater risks to attack Taiwan. But some experts say that although Xi is full of confidence, there are still 3 major dead ends in Xi’s charge of the military that have not been solved so far.
The Chinese Communist Party has been strengthening its military in recent years, stressing that it is “ready for war” at any time, while striking out on multiple fronts, leading to tensions in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. The Financial Times recently quoted a senior U.S. official as saying that Xi Jinping sees an attack on Taiwan as a personal achievement and seems ready to take even greater risks.
Many experts have warned about the threat of the CCP’s increased military power, while others have looked at the weaknesses of the CCP’s military, mostly pointing to technology and hardware, such as the poor performance of military weapons and the lack of overseas naval bases, but also involving the professionalism of personnel and corruption.
According to a commentary by Yue Shan published in the Epoch Times, Xi Jinping relied on anti-corruption to establish his authority after coming to power, and first launched a major military reform, declaring that the military can win battles.
First, the Chinese Communist Party military corruption.
Before Xi came to power, Jiang Zemin ruled the military with corruption, Jiang’s cronies, the former Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xu Caihou, Guo Boxiong, took the lead in selling officials to make a fortune, the amount of corruption is so much that even the official did not dare to announce. And the entire Chinese Communist Party is corrupt, and a large amount of military spending has been embezzled and misappropriated, even smuggling arms.
Despite the fact that Xi Jinping, after taking office, has been fighting corruption in the military, dismissing nearly 200 high-ranking officers. He also personally interviewed officers and promoted admirals, but the number of lieutenant generals, major generals, and even lower-ranking officers underneath was so large that he could not interview them one by one and had to rely on his new appointees to present them.
The military has become a worry about the loyalty of the officers who were promoted to their posts, and the fact that Xi Jinping has been fighting corruption for years and has eliminated many senior officers has led to a lot of resentment in the military. But there are also people who have gotten away with it because of their huge backers, which has led to unrest in the military.
Recently, former Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie returned to his hometown in Sichuan and is rumored to have landed safely by returning his stolen goods. The same negative rumors about the Jiang faction’s military tigers, such as Liao Xilong, Li Ji Nai, Fan Changlong and others, especially Jiang’s top secretary Jia Tingan, if they are not moved, how can they calm the military? This is the same as Xi’s anti-corruption campaign against the most corrupt Jiang and Zeng, which is also empty talk.
The second is that infighting overrides combat power.
The Chinese Communist Party has always believed that “power comes from the barrel of a gun” and that the military is the lifeblood of the regime. If you want to have strong economic, political and diplomatic development, it is often based on the mastery of the military, but now Xi Jinping should know very well that he is only superficially holding on to the control of the military.
In a March article, the U.S. Department of Defense analyzed the Communist Party’s potential unification with Taiwan, arguing that the Communist Party’s centralized leadership model, which is focused on “one leader,” predisposes its military to be unable to adapt to unexpected situations and will be helpless.
The U.S. military, on the other hand, focuses on decentralized operations, giving full play to the initiative and independence of lower-ranking officers. When a U.S. GI or Marine is thrown a grenade, they are able to fight at their best without someone next to them telling them what to do.
In addition, when Xi Jinping became chairman of the Central Military Commission in 2012, the military was full of Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong, or Jiang Zemin’s men. Although Xi has promoted some generals over the years, who are Xi’s real cronies?
As Guo Zhenggang, son of Guo Boxiong, said back then, “More than half of the army’s cadres were promoted by my family.” There are still many people in the military who have been promoted and reappointed by Xu and Guo.
Since Xi Jinping took office, the top military and political officials of the Central Guard Bureau, the Armed Police Force, and the Beijing Garrison have almost changed rounds, as an example, Xi can be said to be unsure of who is in charge of the military based on distrust and lack of loyalty, the soldiers are centrifugal, coupled with corruption is not removed, how can the military power?
Third, the Chinese Communist Party fake anti-humanity.
One of the nature of the Chinese Communist Party is fake, not only economic data, social welfare fake, society is also full of fake cigarettes, fake wine, fake vaccines, but if even the army exercises are fake, often in a critical time to kill the regime.
In recent years, various exaggerations and falsifications have been repeatedly reported in the military. The South China Morning Post has reported that Communist Party military commanders have created false data related to routine military exercises.
Because the CCP military has not fought for a long time, and because of the perennial falsification and other irregularities, military exercise blunders still come to light after the military reform, for example, the CCP military’s reconnaissance network data could not be sent out in time, and had to “make a big detour” in the rear command post, thus missing the opportunity to become the opponent’s “cannon fodder The Chinese military’s reconnaissance network data cannot be sent out in a timely manner, so that it has to “make a big detour” in the rear command post, thus losing time and becoming “cannon fodder” for the other side.
In early January, Xi Jinping, in his capacity as chairman of the CPC Military Commission, signed the first training order for 2021, asking the entire army to focus on “preparing for war” and ensuring that it is “ready for war and able to fight at all times. But the army can only cope with “ready for war”, but also “defeated by war”.
The Chinese Communist Party also uses fake history and various fake materials to brainwash soldiers.
Yuehshan said that most of the CCP soldiers come from rural or lower-middle class families, they are forced to be soldiers, even though they are brainwashed by the government, they still look forward to returning to their hometowns one day to take care of their parents.
The Chinese Communist Party does not only brainwash the military, but also the entire population is deceived by the lies of the Chinese Communist Party, believing that the Chinese Communist Party is China and that loving the country means loving the Party.
In reality, under the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese people have learned the opposite. Once they understand many truths in the history of the CCP that they are not allowed to know, will the soldiers turn their guns? And the CCP’s anti-humanity is also a factor that will inspire soldiers to rebel. Once they actually go to battle, they will all try to escape by any means possible, so the Chinese Communist Party’s boasted war power actually has many variables.
