China Expands Military Presence
China has promoted two military officers to general and constructed mock-ups of US warships and Taiwanese government sites for combat training
China is expanding its military presence, with President Xi Jinping promoting two military officers to the rank of general on Friday, as reported by Reuters China News, while also tapping one of them as the new head of the military's top disciplinary and anti-corruption body. This move comes as China has been test-launching ballistic missiles from submarines in the Pacific Ocean, raising concerns among countries, according to aljazeera.com. The country's military buildup is also evident in its construction of full-scale mock-ups of U.S. warships and military facilities for combat training, as part of its efforts to increase control in the Pacific, a strategy described as "salami slicing" by news outlets. Meanwhile, the situation is being closely watched, much like the ongoing conflicts in Sudan, where the Sudan War Economy is a major concern, and Myanmar, where Myanmar Refugee Boats Vanish have raised alarm.
