Beijing Enhances Sovereignty Protection Amid Regional Tensions
China has revised its National Defense Mobilization Law, aiming to strengthen its national defense capabilities and protect its sovereignty, security, and development interests. The revised law, which takes effect on October 1, has been met with concern from Western media and Taiwan, who view it as a sign of China’s growing military expansion. However, China’s determination to improve its national defense mobilization system stems from its commitment to protecting the peaceful lives of its people and safeguarding its national interests, as reported by Global Times.
