[Epoch Times January 05, 2022](Reported by Epoch Times reporter Luo Ya and Ning Haizhong) On January 4, Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party’s Military Commission Xi Jinping signed the No. 1 Order of the Central Military Commission of this year to issue a military training and mobilization order, highlighting the protection of the CCP At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, many details in the precepts showed obvious changes from previous years. What is the reason? In addition, Kong Jun, commander of the Marine Corps in the Eastern Theater of the Communist Party of China, was promoted to the commander of the Army in the Eastern Theater, which aroused concern about the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
According to a report from the Chinese Communist Party’s mouthpiece Xinhua News Agency on January 4, Xi Jinping signed the Central Military Commission’s No. 1 Order of 2022 on the same day and issued a training mobilization order, requiring the CCP’s military to “resolutely implement the decision-making instructions of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission” and “keep an eye on technological changes. Changes in wars and changes in opponents”, he said, and mentioned that the purpose of training is to ensure that the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is “victoriously convened.”
The Chinese Communist Party officially implemented the newly revised military training regulations (for trial implementation) on January 1, 2018. Xi Jinping signed the training order at the beginning of the year. This is the first time that the Chinese Communist Party has carried out a unified military training and mobilization. It will be carried out at the beginning of each year thereafter.
Many details of Xi’s latest military training order lead to speculation
Su Ziyun, a military expert from the National Defense Security Research Institute of Taiwan, told The Epoch Times that he compared the CCP’s military training orders for the past three years and found that the implementation of the so-called Xi Jinping Thought of Strengthening the Army was mentioned in the previous two years, but this year there was no such thing as Xi Jinping. Instead, it emphasizes the so-called decision-making instructions of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, keeping an eye on technological changes and so on.
“China’s external security situation and the joint containment of the CCP by democratic countries are not the focus of its so-called training order.” Su Ziyun believes that the CCP’s military training order this year is aimed at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, that is, China’s internal political situation.
Su Ziyun believes that the CCP’s military training only emphasizes the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission. This is also very special, which corresponds to the change of CCP leaders at this year’s 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
“It did not emphasize Xi Jinping’s thought of strengthening the army, but focused on the organization of the Party Central Committee. It reflects that there may be relatively fierce factional conflicts within the CCP. The CCP has always emphasized power out of the gun.”
In an interview with The Epoch Times, Li Zhengxiu, a military expert at the National Policy Research Foundation of Taiwan, said that compared with the number of words in Xi Jinping’s orders in the last three years, “This year is surprisingly short. I counted it. It was only about two hundred words. Last year. Nearly three times, nearly 600 words. The year before last was 2020, nearly 500 words.”
He believes that this year’s training order is surprisingly short, most likely because Xi Jinping believes that after the purge, the army is basically under his control, so there is basically no need to talk too much.
As for why this year only implemented the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission, Xi Jinping was particularly prominent last year. Li Zhengxiu said that the main purpose of the CCP’s military training is to maintain the dominant position of the CCP as a whole. “And last year happened to meet the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. It is necessary to highlight his (Xi) personal leadership position in history.”
Yao Cheng, a former lieutenant colonel of the Chinese Communist Party’s Naval Command, who currently lives in the United States, told The Epoch Times on the 5th that the CCP’s Military Commission’s annual order is aimed at military training. He has repeatedly emphasized the need to follow the command and instructions of the Party Central Committee. confidence. And there is no more specific content in the opening order this year.
The personnel changes in the Eastern Theater of the Communist Party of China target Taiwan?
Fujian official media recently reported that Kong Jun attended the Fujian New Year Tea Party as the commander of the Eastern Theater Army. The army stationed in the Eastern Theater Command is Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province. Kong Jun was originally the first commander of the Marine Corps. This transfer triggered the CCP to intensify its speculation about its operations against Taiwan.
Yao Cheng told The Epoch Times that the communist army will not land on Taiwan’s main island if it does anything against Taiwan. It will only carry out military strikes on the outer islands. In addition, Taiwan will continue to be blocked, and a three-hundred-and-six-degree blockade will isolate Taiwan from the outside world. The CCP attempted to use the blockade to cause Taiwan’s economic collapse, political and social turmoil, and then the CCP adopted measures such as infiltration to cause changes in Taiwan to take its place.
However, Yao Cheng believes that the CCP is now in domestic and foreign difficulties, coupled with the military containment of the CCP by many countries, the situation it faces is becoming more and more severe.
“The CCP is currently unable to fight Taiwan, especially when the U.S. and Japan are assisting in defense. However, the CCP will increase its threat to Taiwan.” Yao Cheng said.
Su Ziyun said that the three group armies in the Eastern Theater are the main force in combat against Taiwan, and their armies have the ability to cross seas and attack. Regarding the CCP’s use of the Marine Corps commander to lead the ground forces in the eastern theater, Su Ziyun believes that its intention is to implement cross-sea training more effectively. He said that Taiwan will not take the actual threat lightly.
Li Zhengxiu believes that for Xi Jinping, the work report and future policy directions he must submit to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China involve cross-strait relations.
He believes that the CCP will still follow its original strategy, fighting the United States on the one hand and the DPP government in Taiwan on the other, and will not give up its preparations for force.
Li Zhengxiu said that the CCP will continue to use military force, such as co-aircraft orbiting Taiwan, or aircraft carrier exercises, to exert pressure on Taiwan. However, he believes that the possibility of a military conflict between the two sides of the strait is still quite low.
