SCMP: How China’s military is girding for battle, and what it means for neighbours
People’s Liberation Army is taking part in more exercises in a wider range of environments
Wei Shiji “died instantly” while trying to defuse a landmine in a dense forest in China’s Fujian province this month, while two comrades, Li Shoushun and Liu Shangdong, “survived the war”.
The three young men were not playing a computer game, but soldiers with a special People’s Liberation Army (PLA) brigade undergoing combat training as China’s military ramps up the quantity and quality of its exercises.
Li hid in a river to evade a surveillance drone, while Liu hit 24 targets after fixing his broken rifle in a matter of minutes, the army mouthpiece PLA Daily said in a January 11 report on the training, designed to boost the soldiers’ fighting skills and spirit.

WNU Editor: When I read stories like this one .... China's Aircraft Carrier And Other Navy Ships Sail By Taiwan As Tensions Grow (January 17, 2018), and this one .... The Chinese Military Is Accelerating Its Modernization Plans (January 16, 2018) .... it is obvious to me that China wants a military that will not only intimidate its neighbors, but to assert its territorial claims.

Of course, duh WNU
Whoever started to write these articles about the peaceful rise about China should get his head examined. There is NOTHING peaceful about China. Have you read about their torture halls you get to visit when you speak out against the regime? I'm sure the booksellers in Hong Kong liked them. Remember those guys? What about ARMING north korea? Do you think that's normal behaviour for a peaceful country? What about threatening Vietnam with war over an oil platform in disputed waters? Think that's peaceful?
This is the new nazi Germany.
XI CHINA.
Just instead of Swastika and killing Jews, they will kill everyone who doesn't accept their claims. They are just waiting until their armies are ready. Just like Germany did. Building up and building up. And every stupid pundit is like "oh china so peaceful" haha
