He also called on the nation to strengthen confidence and strive for unity in building a strong China and achieving national rejuvenation.

China may attack Taiwan

• China is preparing for the upcoming invasion of Taiwan. There are even forecasts that it could happen in 2024, although previously it was said about 2027.
• Previously, the United States launched a major campaign to contain China. Washington wants to provide its allies in Asia with a minimum amount of resources to repel a Chinese attack by 2025.
• Beijing’s intensified preparations for the upcoming war have been reported for several months now. Previously, Foreign Affairs published a large article in which it analyzed Xi Jinping’s speeches to the military. The publication also reported the deployment of new mobilization centers throughout the country.
• Not long ago, Russia joined Chinese exercises near Taiwan. Analysts believe that this may indicate that its fleet may also join the blockade of the island.
• Beijing can count on the support of the DPRK and Iran in this operation. At the beginning of the year, China entered into an agreement with the latter to purchase 15 thousand Shaheds.
