The Chinese army will create information support forces
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The People's Liberation Army of China will have information support forces. The order to create a new unit was signed by Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Chinese government reported this.

Information support forces will be created on the basis of the strategic support forces created in 2015 to coordinate efforts in cyber warfare and political confrontation, which will be disbanded.

At the same time, the aerospace and cybernetic units previously subordinate to them will become independent.

Bloomberg reported that the changes in the Chinese army come amid competition with the United States for influence in the world and are the largest reorganization of the PLA since 2015.

It is also clarified that the Political Commissar of the Strategic Support Forces, Li Wei, will occupy the same position in the Information Support Forces. He promised to listen to Xi Jinping's instructions. Bi I was appointed the new commander of the information support forces.

As Regnum reported, in April last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping, during an inspection of the Southern Combat Command Zone of the People's Liberation Army of China, pointed out to Chinese military personnel the need to intensify preparations for real combat operations. The Chinese leader also noted the importance of deepening research in the military sphere and updating tactics and training methods.

In 2023, China increased national defense spending to 1553.7 billion yuan, up 7.2% from the previous year. The official representative of the National People's Congress of China, Wang Chao, then emphasized that the modernization of the armed forces of the PRC does not pose any threat to other countries of the world.

In 2024, China will increase defense spending by 7.2%. As noted by Reuters, this increase in military spending was the largest in the last five years.

China's central government's military spending is expected to rise to 1.67 trillion yuan (about $231 billion) in 2024, according to the Ministry of Finance's annual report. China's military budget ranks second in the world after the United States

#1 Chinese economic "support forces" are thriving even in an economic downturn.

Full-blown conflict with China? Highly unlikely. They own the company store.
