Military Preparedness, Deterrence, External ThreatsResumen
China's military preparedness is a basic pillar of its strategy, serving as a tool for maintaining national security, ensuring national interests, and deterring external threats. So that, China relies on a comprehensive vision that integrates military modernization, technological innovation, and expanding military-security partnerships. This is consistent with its declared goal of building a strong military by 2049, due to the centenary of the founding of the modern Chinese state in 1949. By 2024 China marked the continuation of three consecutive decades of increases in the defense's budget. China's military preparedness, through the integration of its components, contributes to strengthening China's position as a rising international power capable of deterring external threats and adapting with a chaotic international environment. China also achieved that by building a multidimensional deterrent capability, in order to enable and protect its interests, then expanding its influence without engaging in direct military confrontations. China's military preparedness is a central pillar of its national strategy, not only as a defense tool; but also as a means of deterrence and protection against imminent external threats. The findings of facts also resemble that the continued increase in defense spending represents a long-term trend aimed achieving a new balance between economic growth and strengthening defense capabilities.
