Chinese Communist President Xi Jinping ordered the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to ramp up its preparedness for war, as reported by Chinese state media on Saturday, according to Barrons.

Xi’s call for heightened military readiness comes just days after China conducted large-scale military drills surrounding Taiwan.

While visiting a brigade of the PLA Rocket Force on Thursday, Xi Jinping urged troops to “comprehensively strengthen training and preparation for war” and to ensure they possess “solid combat capabilities.”

This latest move demonstrates the growing intensity of China’s military ambitions and its continued focus on Taiwan, which the Chinese Communist Party views as part of its territory.

Shenzhen DJI Innovation Technology Co., Ltd., commonly known as DJI, the Chinese drone manufacturer, has launched a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense, challenging its designation as a “Chinese military company.”

The lawsuit, filed by the U.S. law firm Paul Weiss in Washington, D.C., accuses the Pentagon, including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Deputy Secretary for Industrial Base Policy Laura Taylor-Kale, of refusing to provide any rationale for DJI’s military designation and ignoring repeated requests for dialogue, Politico reported.

The Pentagon originally placed DJI on a list of “Military Companies Operating in the United States” in 2022, citing potential threats to national security.

This move followed the DoD’s 2021 decision to bar government agencies from using DJI products, alleging that the company’s drones could be used for espionage purposes or serve as surveillance tools for the Chinese Communist Party.
