Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Xi urges PLA
modernization
Any country in the
world save just a few has armed forces to defend its country and people. But
when a country, especially one of the two world leading countries says they
need to modernize and build up its military to protect its core interests, it threatens
the neighboring countries, especially the ones that have disputes over waters
and borders.
During China’s top
legislature, the National People's Congress, the country’s, party’s and
military’s top Xi Jinping urged the military leaders to further and rapidly strengthen
and modernize the military capabilities and forces to protect the nation’s core
interests. What are the core interests of China that need to be protected? What
drives them to further expand its military power that has been increasingly reinforced
for the last decade in a speed that no other country has ever done in history?
Enjoy reading the
article and thinking what could be their core interests to be protected and by
who or what.
