Retired Chinese military personnel would be a top priority for conscription in wartime, according to draft regulatory changes released by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs on the weekend.
The proposed changes to the country’s conscription regulations spell out for the first time how authorities would enlist veterans and other conscripts while the country was on a war footing.
Under the regulations, the State Council or the Central Military Commission would issue mobilisation orders and hand responsibility for drafting soldiers to government and military agencies at various levels.
Military veterans would be a target group and could rejoin their original unit or be posted to a similar position elsewhere, according to the draft.
Authorities would have to help the veterans join up with those units.
“During wartime, the transport department and workers shall give priority to enlisted soldiers; other organisations and personnel should also help them,” the regulations said.
The draft regulations were posted on the ministry’s official WeChat account on Sunday for public feedback.
The last revisions were made in 2001 and the regulations were first introduced in 1985.
Besides wartime enlistment, the draft also covers the creation of an interministerial system for conscription, and efforts to institutionalise the process as part of China’s digital government build-up.
Song Zhongping, a former People’s Liberation Army instructor, said revisions were needed to reflect broader changes in the world and to better prepare China for emergencies.
“What’s more, the new section about enlisting soldiers during wartime can make the process more comprehensive. It fits to the actual needs of China, because enlisting veterans in the military can quickly boost troops’ ability if China fights a war,” Song said.
The release of the draft comes as China’s ties with major Western countries and its neighbours decline over various issues, from territorial claims to human rights.
In January, Chinese President Xi Jinping, who also heads the Central Military Commission, stressed the need for “full-time combat readiness” and said the People’s Liberation Army must use frontline frictions to improve troops’ abilities.
And in March, Xi said the Chinese military must be “prepared to respond” to complex and difficult situations as the country grappled with security challenges.

I hope if the west starts war against China and Russia they use their advanced missile systems to take out our rulers who would have us and our kids killed in the war. Wipe out our elites and change the course of warfare forever. Make them amongst the first to die and wars will become rare and may end altogether.
You have the capabilities. Use them.
China is the only state that Israel and its British and American puppets really fear. China knows this and is preparing for the inevitable war.
“Oh” … they gonna say…
“More conspiracy theories “…

Here we go again. The banksters want yet more war to help kill off the goyim.
CHINESE DRAGON RISE UP YOUR SWORD
TO BEHEAD OUR WESTERN TRAITOR
POLITICANS + MILITARYLEADERS !
Yes, here we go again. Talk of wars to put fear into people and forcing them to “volunteer” to accept dictatorship. No different than putting the fear of cv19 to force people to “volunteer” to accept poison job into their bodies.
Israel has destroyed America
China Russia N Korea and Iran etc have only to pick over the bones
Obviously, China would not start a world war because if it or their opposition were losing they would use nuclear weapons and the resulting nuclear winter would destroy most human and other life on earth. But China probably will take Taiwan back and might take Australia over for extra living space. Apparently, it has increased its one-child policy to three children.
Problem is, the same Jewish Overlords who surreptitiously manage the USA & UK also govern Russia & China..
