Chinese Troops Ordered to Up Training: ‘Actual Combat’

Chinese leader Xi Jinping added fuel to the flame with tensions between China and Taiwan skyrocketing. The Communist Party head is calling on his armed forces to bolster military training tailored toward actual combat. Xi made the remark during his visit to see Chinese naval troops stationed in southern Guangdong. The area directly faces the South China Sea, and isn't far from Taiwan. Both areas would be on the front line in the event of a hot war.
