The following report is by Taiwan News:
China’s newly revised “Regulations on the Recruitment of Soldiers,” which allow retired soldiers to re-enlist in order to ensure that experienced officers and soldiers will serve in the time of war, went into effect on Monday. The revised conscription regulations also focus on recruiting tech-savvy science and engineering students for new areas of operations such as space and cyber, showing China’s attempt to prepare for a possible full invasion of Taiwan.
The State Council and the Central Military Commission, the highest decision-making body of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA), announced last month that the new regulations on conscription were formulated in accordance with its “Military Service Law.” According to China’s state-run mouthpiece Xinhua News, the revised conscription regulations consist of 74 articles in 11 chapters that focus on “recruiting more high-caliber soldiers, standardizing and optimizing conscription procedures, and improving the system’s efficiency.”
The new conscription regulations allow veterans to rejoin the army, return to their old units or perform previous duties, making it easier for the nearly 2 million-strong PLA to acquire experienced personnel, reported Nikkei Asia. Another provision makes it easier for the military to recruit personnel in emergency situations, allowing the government to adjust the conditions and methods of recruitment according to the type of personnel needed, and to enable its transportation corps to prioritize the movement of troops for rapid deployments.
The changes reflect China’s “concerns about a possible conflict over Taiwan,” according to the news agency. A full-fledged land, sea, and air campaign would likely require the mobilization of retired and active-duty military personnel.
Seasoned crews who can operate weapons and sonar on military vessels, as well as fighter pilots, are particularly valuable because it takes time to train new highly skilled personnel.
China has continuously strengthened its military capabilities in recent years, especially on land and sea. The PLA has expanded its fleet of amphibious assault ships, submarines, and bombers.
A third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, was also launched in June last year. Operating these new armaments will require more high-tech-savvy troops.
Another focus of the revised conscription regulations is college students. The new law allows colleges to draft students, particularly science and engineering students who have been trained in high-tech areas such as artificial intelligence and robotics to engage in warfare that makes use of satellites, cyber, and drones.
The PLA is also fixated on developing cognitive warfare that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) among other technologies.
In addition, according to a report by the Voice of America (VOA), the “Reservists Law of the People’s Republic of China” implemented on March 1 is widely regarded by the outside world as the expansion of conscription and preparations for the war against Taiwan. Many provinces and cities in China have established national defense mobilization offices.
Experts believe that this is part of the Chinese government’s efforts to improve its ability to transform from peacetime to wartime, and it will help strengthen the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) centralized control over grassroots recruitment and national defense mobilization. However, the report stated that there is still a long way to go before a comprehensive wartime system that can support an invasion of Taiwan is established.

[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows. Matthew 24:6-8
If this report is to be believed, then this is another step in China gearing up for a war with not Taiwan, but the United States and other ally that might get in their way. However, other nations have pretty much indicated that if the U.S. engages with China that the U.S. will be alone in this fight.
Taiwanese citizens have collectively agreed that the U.S. will not actually come to their aid, and I believe that also is correct; rather, restrictions similar to the ones imposed on Ukraine will most likely be employed.

Media presstitutes have been indirectly selling the narrative and greasing the wheels that an all-out war with China is in the future, and I would just assume that that will happen eventually, whether it actually materializes or not.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Exactly. The USA will be pretty much alone, because it’s the worlds only super power, but a declining one.
if the USA and canada dont win these wars what do you think will become of these two countries?
and do you think that war is what it’ll take for americans and canadians to start back up in house manufacturing again.
