Observers say that the setting up of AFDs shows that the CCP is preparing for war as domestic unrest grows.
The ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has recently created armed forces departments managed by the regime’s People’s Liberation Army at major state-owned enterprises.
The move seeks to promote the militia system, fulfill national defense obligations, and strengthen national defense, Wu Qian, a spokesman for the CCP’s Ministry of National Defense, said at a regular press briefing on Oct. 26 when asked about the purpose of the new departments.
Observers say the move indicates that the CCP is preparing for war as well as domestic oppression of the people amid China’s growing financial turmoil.
