XI Jinping’s thoughts on the chinese armed forces in the current geopolitical context

Resumo

In July 2022, the document Xi Jinping’s thinking on strengthening the armed forces was released, a compilation of
questions and answers following the president’s guidance included in the Chinese Constitution. On September 9,
2022, an official letter from the Communist Party of China (CPC) called for the study of President Xi’s thought book
on the performance of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). From the second decade of the 21st century, at
a time when the rise of a China-United States-Taiwan rivalry is taking place, is crucial to have an understanding
of the relationship between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), as well
as the regional and international threats which brought to an end the peaceful period in East Asia, China’s new
prominent role in the creation of a new world order, and the guidelines expressed in the document Xi Jinping’s
thinking on strengthening the armed forces.
