Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping is ordering Chinaโ€™s military to comprehensively strengthen its preparations for war, even as the regime reveals its latest hypersonic weapon.

Xi said that the Partyโ€™s military branch must train for any war and be prepared for unforeseen conflicts.

He said the military must devote all its energy toward combat readiness and work to โ€œenhance its capability to fight and win,โ€ according to Chinese state-owned media outlet Xinhua.

The military โ€œmust implement the Partyโ€™s idea of strengthening the army in the new era,โ€ Xi said, using a term for the CCPโ€™s vision of a new historical age in which China is the worldโ€™s leading power.

Xi delivered the comments during a Nov. 8 inspection of the joint operations command center of the Central Military Commission, Chinaโ€™s highest defense body, of which he is chairman.

The inspection coincided with a bellicose display at the regimeโ€™s fourth annual air show, during which it publicly displayed its most advanced fighter jet for the first time and unveiled a new hypersonic missile apparently designed to target U.S. forces.

Also on display was the regimeโ€™s most advanced aircraft, the J-20 stealth fighter. Little is known about the J-20 other than that it appears to be a clone of the American F-35, likely made with stolen design technologies. It remains unclear whether the Chinese military will use the aircraft in an all-purpose role, the same way the United States uses the F-35, or if it will specialize in one particular domain, such as air superiority.

The aircraft entered service in 2017, and while there are still many unknowns about its capabilities and use, U.S. forces have hadย aย close encounterย with it.

โ€œWe recently had, I wouldnโ€™t call it an engagement, but we got relatively close to the J-20s with our F-35s in the East China Sea and were relatively impressed with the command and control that was associated with the J-20s,โ€ said Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach, commander of the Pacific Air Forces, during a March 14 interview with the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.
