  • Xi Jinping Recent Utterances Are Seen As A Call For Casus Belli

With the emerging New world order, the tussle for supremacy among the super powers has continued to trigger political tension within the global realm. Already, most first world countries have engage in building political mechanism that would allow easy realignment for total independence.
Attempts by some super powers to subjugate weaker nations has further polarised world order. This emerging trend is gradually becoming a phenomenon that just would not be easily erased from the current global setting without drawing blood.
Though foreign observers are beginning to query the rationale behind this current trend among the so called super powers whose only past time was to test their military might on weaker nations.
For students of International Relations, it’s like the world is gradually sliding into the dark days of slave trade.
But other stronger nations as the United States of America, USA which act as catalyst for balance of power, are resisting this wild wind threatening global peace.

Hence, students of International Relations would not hesitate to conclude that Chinese Leader, Xi Jinping has already started beating the drum for war following his doggedness to make China self sufficient in grains, his decision to hike the defence budget and his unguarded utterances that suggest that China is ready for war.
At one of the recent annual meetings of China’s parliament and it’s top political advisory body, Xi was reported to be instigating his Army Generals to “dare to fight.”
Also within that Short span of time, his administration was reported to have announced 7.2 percent increase in China’s defence budget which analysts claimed has doubled over the last decade.
Though, it might be early to conclude what these developments aimed to achieve even as China has perfected plans to make the country less dependent on foreign grain import.

Available records, showed that in recent months, Beijing has inaugurated new military readiness laws, new air raid shelters and new National Defence Mobilisation offices nationwide.

Since the emergence of Xi Jinping as the President of China, he has always had one thing in mind; a Greater China, which include but not limited to extending its spheres of influence beyond its traditional boundaries, its activities in Hongkong, Thailand and presently Taiwan only serve to buttress this fact .

To actualise this, he had to consolidate himself in power, which he has achieved through the elongation of his tenure to a Life President.

Xi has become embolden with Russia invasion of Ukraine that have lasted for over a year and is still raging More so, with the verbal condemnation of United Nations and other International Communities without any concrete support to Ukraine which has made the war last longer than necessary.

This indeed is beginning to change the New World Order as Might is gradually becoming Right as we have seen in Kim Jong-un’s North Korea threat on South Korea, and more glaring, China to some of her neighbours. Hence, Xi Jinping recent utterances are seen as a call for casus Belli . The international Community and indeed the rest of the World must take them seriously in order to avoid another Ukraine’s invasion with its concomitant and cataclysmic consequences .
