China ends ‘hide-and-bide’ military strategy

The Chinese Communist Party and its armed wing, the People’s Liberation Army, last month began a major shift away from the 40-year-old strategy known as “hide and bide” — keeping a low profile while advancing military and economic power — according to an Air Force think tank report.

Instead, Chinese supreme leader Xi Jinping announced during a massive military parade showing off new weapons and firepower that the communist regime is now the leader of a forthcoming world order designed to replace the United States.

“The September 3rd Victory Day parade in Beijing showcased an array of military capabilities intended to demonstrate the fruits of its decades-long modernization effort,” the report by the China Aerospace Studies Institute said.
