China's leader Xi Jinping has called for 'more quickly elevating the armed forces to world-class standards,' in a speech just days after a top diplomat warned of the growing possibility of conflict with the U.S. unless Washington changes course.
China's leader Xi Jinping has called for "more quickly elevating the armed forces to world-class standards," in a speech just days after a top diplomat warned of the growing possibility of conflict with the U.S. unless Washington changes course.
The program laid out by Xi dovetails with a number of national strategies already underway, including the "Made in China 2025" campaign to make China dominant in 10 key fields from integrated circuits to aerospace, and a decades-old campaign for civilian-military integration in the economy. On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Qin Gang had warned in unusually stark terms about the possibility of U.S.-China frictions leading to something more dire.
"Western countries led by the United States have implemented all-round containment, encirclement and suppression of China, which has brought unprecedented grave challenges to our nation's development," Xi was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua News Agency.
