China has the largest army in the world, which has about 2 million soldiers.
Yet these days an amazing change is visible in China. Chinese private companies are also now building their own armies. They are equipping their employees with weapons and also giving them military training.
According to CNN report, till now 16 big Chinese companies have prepared their own army. One of these companies also produces dairy products.
A separate department has been formed in these companies to look after the work of army formation. This department has been named People’s Armed Forces Department.
According to the information, these private military units will be kept as the reserve force of the Chinese Army. These can be used to manage the situation in case of any disaster or outbreak of social unrest.
Experts say that these corporate brigades are being prepared so that they can be used in case of war with another country or if social unrest breaks out at the domestic level. It is believed that during the Corona period, when strict restrictions were imposed by the Chinese government, people got angry. During this period it had become difficult to manage the system.
Now corporate armies will also help in dealing with any such situation. Apart from this, Chinese President Xi Jinping had recently advised that communist ideology should spread in Chinese society.
Apart from this, the corporate sector should also be included in this. It is believed that under this, companies have also been asked to form armies.
These armies will teach the people the lesson of discipline and connect them with the communist ideology of China. Let us tell you that even in the 1970s, there was such a culture in China, when even companies kept their own armies ready.
Why is Xi Jinping building a corporate army?
Neil Thomas, an analyst with an understanding of Chinese politics, said, ‘The withdrawal of corporate armies reveals Xi Jinping’s vision, under which he talks about running the country’s security and economic development together.
Xi Jinping has insisted on this despite slow economic growth and geopolitical challenges.
He says that the corporate military, together with the country’s military leadership, will handle internal disturbances in China. This is China’s policy to strengthen the Communist Party’s hold on the people.
