Over the last several months, Chinese leader Hsi Chin-ping and the Chinese Communist Party have repeatedly exhorted the Peoples Liberation Army to be ready to win a war.
Hsi has repeatedly called for greater military modernization, increased training, and enhanced overall readiness of the Chinese army, navy, and air force.
These repeated calls have alarmed Chinas neighbors from New Delhi to Washington. The question on everyones mind: what is all this preparation for?
Is the Chinese leadership preparing for something? Are they gearing up for a military operation, or merely the option to carry one out? Or is there a more innocent explanation for all of this?

Better hurry, before President Cruz takes office.
They’re about to wage swift invasions of disputed territories. I think first to consolidate the South China Sea. Gauge response. Then Japanese and eventually Taiwanese islands.
They know Obola would surrender immediately, and the window of opportunity is drawing to a close.
The corruption sounds like the current administration in the U.S.A. I.e. billions for buddies not a dime for anything else.
The next two years are going to be some of the most dangerous years that the remainder of our republic has experienced. To quote Fred Thompson in The Hunt For Red October “We will be lucky to live thru it” IMO
because they know Obama will not lift a finger to defend these territories. “Quick, quick fellahs, before our benefactor leaves office.”
The chicoms might want some payback from Japan for WWII. They have long memories.
Isn’t that what an army is supposed to do?............
Taiwanese islands long before Japan.
The “Four Moderns” were ordered by Xeng-Shao Ping in the ‘70s and the last modern were the armed forces which are now ready.
China wants to rule over the new “East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.”
Possibly. I’m not a Chinese military strategist. All I know is they want it and they will take it one day.
They are preparing to support Russia and show NATO that ringing the BRICS nations with ABM’s as a preparation to a NATO first strike is not a smart geopolitical move. NATO has become the leg breakers and loan shark collectors of these guys:

They will start small. Perhaps they will first sink a Philippine patrol boat in disputed waters.
What they WILL NOT do, is launch an invasion of Taiwan or attack ROK or Japanese or US assets.
They just don't know what the outcome of those events will be.
How about instead the Chinese turn west and attack Siberia and annex all territory to the Ural Mountains. Putin does not look too strong right now
Because Russian Nuclear Forces would kill every man, woman and child in China if they tried.
The Chinese are literally, great tea leaf readers. They saw the November elections, and figure it may be likely that we will install someone with backbone, in January, 2017. Regardless, they can be certain that 0 is as good as it gets, for them.
They probably won’t go for an all out war, but I can definitely see them moving in on some disputed territories, knowing that they can get away with it.
If they’re using Sun Tzu’s Art of War as their guide, then all-out military war is the last resort; the philosophy there centers on “breaking (the) enemy’s resistance without fighting” and “taking the enemy’s country whole and intact”, especially through heavy use of espionage (moles and double agents given the highest consideration).
ding ding ding!
