US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi began her tour of Asia on Monday as China ramped up military exercises and a war propaganda campaign that threaten her plans to visit Taiwan.
“The Party commands the gun,” Xi said in the speech released publicly on Monday. “We must at all times focus on battle readiness, so as to forge a powerful army that comes when it is called, is ready for battle when it comes, and is victorious in battle.” But China’s rapidly expanding military power has prompted fears that timeline could be brought forward to this decade. Mark Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in July that China could be prepared to act as soon as 2027.
Zhou Bo, a senior fellow at the Center for International Security and Strategy said China’s rise should be viewed in a historical context.
