Xi Jinping, Worst-Case Scenarios, Taiwan Rehearsals
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has instructed national security officials to prepare for "worst-case scenarios" and "stormy seas." Retired Marine Colonel Grant Newsham suggests this rhetoric indicates a shift toward active war footing, with the People's Liberation Army conducting "rehearsals" for a potential invasion of Taiwan. Newsham criticizes Wall Street for continuing to fund the Chinese war machine.
