The People's Republic of China is demonstrating a tougher stance against Taiwan at the beginning of the National People's Congress session. These steps are accompanied by an increase in the country's defense budget. However, a wave of purges within the military raises questions about China's combat readiness.
Redaksiya reports that Beijing has further hardened its position on the Taiwan issue in recent years. This stance is linked to the idea of protecting the territorial integrity of the People's Republic of China and national unity. The increase in the defense budget is also seen as part of this policy.
Nevertheless, extensive purges within the People's Liberation Army of China have increased concerns about the country's military power and combat readiness. The dismissal or arrest of several high-ranking military officials raises questions about the army's internal stability and effectiveness. This situation creates doubts about how the army will perform during a potential conflict.
