SCMP: China’s military must move beyond simple self-defence strategy, PLA says
* Forces need to respond to rapid technological change, army says
* PLA social media commentary calls on planners to ‘break passive situation’
Planners with China’s ground forces must not be caught out by the rapid evolution of warfare and technology in the 21st century and must prepare to move beyond a strategy of simple self-defence, the People’s Liberation Army said.
China’s leadership has stressed the need for combat readiness and increased training. In a tour of the Southern Theatre Command last month, President Xi Jinping said the military should “concentrate preparations for fighting a war”.
Better planning would allow the military to anticipate and control the course of land warfare, the PLA said in a commentary on its social media account. It called for greater recognition of the need for closer cooperation with the air force and the development of cyberwarfare capabilities in response to evolving threats on new battlefields.

WNU Editor: My translations of this PLA report. They are looking at what is necessary if they are to deploy their forces beyond their borders. In short .... being the aggressor and not the defender.

So Trident Juncture, Operation Anaconda 2016 and every flight of B 52's, B1's and B2's off Russia's and China's border are purely defensive in nature?
The illegal invasion of Iraq and occupation of northeastern Syria is also defensive in nature. That's why they call it the Department of Defense.
America, Israel, and NATO are the greatest purveyors of violent death on the planet. F#$k everybody.
