China has begun reviving its volunteer armies in a significant effort to bolster its military capabilities as World War 3 fears grow.

This suggests their economy is going to si*t and they need a place for millions of soon-to-be restless citizens.

They will end up creating their own Wagner warlord, or several, that will eventually destabilize the authority of the central government.

It shows they expect internal discord.

It would be significant to the USA, if we expected to invade China.

Militias are great for local defense. Not so much to project power.

I don’t think there are any truly private companies in China.

Perhaps it frees the conventional military for projecting power.

Individual Red states in the USA should be doing the same thing...in a very robust way.

What a nice way to mobilize millions of men for an invasion of Siberia.

With Russia spending much of its military in Ukraine, there probably isn’t much left in Siberia.

Once upon a time, local communities held regular “militia musters” that all able-bodied men in the town were required to attend. Participants engaged in target practice, marching, small unit tactics, camping skills and first aid, according to what I’ve read about the musters.

Sure sounds like a good idea now. Random “solo” preppers with rifles won’t stop hordes of military-age Chinese invaders. But an organized town might.
