China asks army to be ready for regional war

China said it was normal for its marine surveillance aircraft to fly over the disputed Diaoyu islands after Japan scrambled fighter jets to intercept the Chinese aircraft early on Thursday.

Within hours of the incident, Communist Party of China (CPC) general secretary was quoted by the state media as ordering the largest armed forces in the world, People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to be ready to win “regional wars.”

This is certainly interesting. While every army should be ready for war, i find it intriguing that China went out of their way to publicly order their military to be "ready to win regional wars."

Since they have stated this, it appears that China foresees a military conflict happening soon. But not just one, as they themselves states "wars." This means that China is preparing for more than one war...but with who? Japan? The Philippines? Both countries have had their run ins with China lately.
