In February 2022, the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war brought a lot of shock to the world.
After that, along with the end of Western countries and India, United States' various provocations against China have made many people worry about whether the third world war is about to begin?
Even if the Russian-Ukrainian war is no longer so hot, but the fear of war is getting thicker? No, with the start of China's conscription program in the second half of the year, the United States and Taiwan independence elements are a little panicked, so what is going on?
Is China in Strategic Mobilization?
Friends who know something about the history of the People's Liberation Army should know that since the 80s of the 20 th century, the mainland proposed to build a high-quality modern army.
The size of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) began to be continuously reduced, from more than 4 million in the 80s of the 20th century to about 2 million today. After all, this is China's demonstration to the world that it is a peaceful country.
However, in 2023, the Chinese government has amended the Regulations on Conscription, which includes such a clause that those soldiers who have retired from the army can return to the army on a voluntary basis, and will be given priority to be assigned to the original active duty unit or the same type of post, and if they meet the corresponding sergeant conditions, they can directly become sergeants.
Foreign media analysis
The new regulation immediately sparked a high degree of alarm in Western countries. Some politicians in United States see this as a harbinger of China's preparation for war. Why?
Because before that, the Chinese People's Liberation Army had a clear rule that retired soldiers should also return to their original units to report to their original units during the war and take on the heavy responsibility of protecting their homes and defending the country.
Now, China is not at war, but it has begun to let these retired soldiers return to their original units, and it is no wonder that they have some extreme associations.
In particular, according to the data, as of 2016, there are about 57 million retired soldiers in China!
If China really intends to recruit these veterans, even if it is only 1/10, it can easily create a huge army of 8 million, or even tens of millions!
What frightens Western countries even more is that China is not an industrially weak country that has been at war for three months and has to import artillery shells from Ukraine.
In 2020, China's industrial production accounted for nearly one-third of the world's total, and once China truly enters the military state, it can produce weapons and equipment for these nearly 10 million troops.
Let these veterans with military experience become a real majestic division in the shortest possible time!
United States have a say in this. At the beginning of 2023, the Ministry of Defense of United States conducted an intelligent estimate. Once China enters a state of war, then it can produce about 30,000 missiles per day! As for ordinary missiles and military weapons, then it is even more astronomical!
It can be said that compared with Russia, which is a foreign power and a middle force, today's China really has the strength to completely lift the table!
It is no wonder that when the Chinese government's conscription began in the second half of this year, Western countries were so vigilant, and they were also worried about whether China would come to a sudden riot!
So, will China make a big move, as the West fears and promotes?
China's Path
In fact, to be honest, Western countries are really good at shouting thieves and catching thieves.
Although China amended its conscription regulations in 2023 to allow those who have already retired to return to the military, there will be little increase in the scale of conscription in 2024.
As for allowing veterans to return to the military, it's really nothing if you think about it, because as I said before, once the Chinese government declares a state of war.
Then the retired soldiers themselves are obliged to return to the army, so even if the conscription order is not amended, China can still arm a huge army of tens of millions of people at any time!
Therefore, will the conscription regulations be amended? It has no impact on whether China can send troops at all.
The reason why the United States attaches so much importance to China's conscription and hypes it up is nothing more than jealousy of China's strength, and similarly, it also hopes to exaggerate the China threat theory to win more allies.
No way, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the United States is indeed in the twilight of the day, the domestic economy is in a mess, the debt has long exceeded its own GDP, the local manufacturing industry is seriously hollowed out, and the gap between the rich and the poor has reached an extremely dangerous level.
In international politics, although Japan, South Korea, Europe and other countries are still the little brother of United States, they have also been careful, especially when Russia, because the Russian-Ukrainian war almost completely fell to China, and let United States lift a stone and shoot itself in the foot.
After all, China's terrible industrial capacity and industrial population of up to 1.4 billion, combined with Russia's abundant resources, are enough to support us to defend our country.
What do you mean by that? When the United States says you have weapons of mass destruction, you'd better really have.
Similarly, when the United States says that China will pose a mortal threat to world peace, it is better for China to really have the ability to lift the table, because only with the ability to lift the table can they negotiate with China well on the table.
This is also why since the NATO summit in Washington in early July this year, Western countries represented by the United States have repeatedly made trouble for China.
They even staged a massive 29-nation joint naval exercise, but the reason why they never dared to really cross the line was that they were afraid that they would really tear their faces with China and break up when the time came. Compared with United States, in fact, the most uncomfortable are the Taiwan independence elements in Taiwan.
As everyone knows, Lai Ching-te and other Taiwan independence elements have always been pro-US and anti-China, but now that the strength of the United States is no longer able to protect them, the mainland has become stronger and stronger, and it has been fed up with the Taiwan independence elements' disobedience.
How much room for maneuver can a small Taiwan island have? There is also capital for jumping left and right, and now they don't have this capital!
As for what it means to be more vigilant against China, it doesn't matter at all, because the United States itself has always been very vigilant against China, and as for the Taiwan region, with their little strength, even if they are vigilant against the mainland PLA, what is the use?
Recognizing the status quo and following the general trend is what they should do.
