for war with Taiwan
The PLA has been asked to "prepare actively" for war with Taiwan,
the army daily reported yesterday.
The call was made during a meeting of military delegates to the
NPC, the Liberation Army Daily said.
At the meeting, presided over by Defence Minister Chi Haotian on
Tuesday, "12 delegates called for active and detailed preparations
for a military conflict against Taiwan".
Central Military Commission member Fu Quanyou was quoted as
saying: "We must strengthen the sense of the army's role and prepare

"If pro-independence forces seek to divide the country, we will
have to take drastic measures." |
