China’s Xi Jinping Planning for War

The clouds of war continue to gather in the far east as Chinese communist dictator Xi Jinping continues to prepare to launch an all-out war against Taiwan and its allies, including the United States. Although many in the West continue to doubt Chinese intentions, Xi Jinping has made his plans very clear: the Chinese military is to be ready to retake Taiwan by 2027, and is engaged in the largest and most rapid military buildup of any country in the world since World War II in order to meet its objective.

The war that Xi is planning for the very near future is intended to target America as well as Taiwan and probably Japan, since the destruction of the United States as a military rival has been a top goal of the Chinese Communist Party since the time of Chairman Mao. But even with all of China’s new advanced weapons and its huge numerical advantage, the task of successfully invading and conquering Taiwan, and seizing uncontested control of the entire South China Sea, is extraordinarily ambitious for a regime with very little combat experience in recent decades.

It is now looking more and more like Xi is preparing to use nuclear weapons against both Taiwan and the United States, since that is the only way China’s war of conquest would have much chance of succeeding. Last month, Xi purged virtually the entire leadership of China’s rocket command, the military division responsible for China’s nuclear assets. When Xi unleashes his war, he will need to rely on a nuclear forces command structure that is totally loyal to him, and there is growing evidence that elements in the military are growing restive with his increasingly totalitarian rule. In addition to purging the leadership of the nuclear forces, the Communist Party has instituted a program of civil preparedness to get the Chinese people martialed and ready for the war that the CCP has been telling them for decades it is their destiny to fight and win. For the past couple of years, China has been launching nearly daily air sortees into Taiwan’s air defense zone, and has been regularly harassing and threatening U.S. and other international forces around Taiwan and in the South China Sea.

And with China’s economy now in virtual freefall, and epic flooding destroying towns and cities all across China, Xi Jinping has more and more incentive to start his coveted war as soon as possible, in order to distract the Chinese people from the way that the Communist Party has destroyed China’s prosperity and is rapidly propelling the country back into Maoist totalitarianism. So far this month, flooding from a massive typhoon wiped out large portions of northeast China, and the government deliberately allowed many small cities and rural areas to be flooded to protect the city of Beijing and its political elites from harm.

With the growing paranoia of the Chinese government towards the outside world, coupled with economic collapse and the massive buildup of ships, planes, nuclear missiles, and other armaments, an all-out war between China and the United States for control of Taiwan and the Pacific Ocean is looking like a virtual certainty in the near future.
