Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered the military to prepare for conflicts in the East and South China Seas as the Communist Party-led government is poised to adopt wide-ranging security laws in 2024 to “resolutely safeguard” its sovereignty.
“In plain language, we are developing our capability to protect and secure our entire territory and EEZ in order to ensure that our people and all the generations of Filipinos to come shall freely reap and enjoy the bounties of the natural resources that are rightfully ours within our domain,” he said in a statement.
The head of the Philippine military’s Western Command and four crew members were injured as two China Coast Guard vessels used water cannons against the civilian supply ship Unaiza May 4 near Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea on Tuesday. It will also revise “the National Defense Education Law and the Cybersecurity Law,” Zhao said in his report.
“They want to strengthen the legal framework in these areas, which is part of Xi’s own priorities,” he said, adding it was “no surprise” that national security was highlighted in Zhao’s report.
