DID Press: Washington Times reports that China has placed its military, industrial and infrastructural systems on heightened wartime alert, instructing government institutions and private-sector entities to prepare for a potential confrontation with the United States.
According to the newspaper’s sources, Beijing’s primary focus is a possible conflict over Taiwan, as well as contested areas near Japan.
China is simultaneously expanding its naval capabilities, boosting strategic stockpiles, and accelerating its defense-industrial output—signs that the country’s leadership views the risk of military escalation with Washington as increasingly realistic.
