The Chinese communist regime’s rubber stamp People’s National Congress passed a resolution on Feb. 24 to adjust the application of some provisions of Criminal Procedure Law for the military during wartime. China experts believe the move shows that the regime is preparing for war and the imposition of martial law.

According to the regime’s official mouthpiece, Xinhua, the provisions include those relating to jurisdiction, defense, investigation, prosecution, trial, and enforcement. The adjustments took effect on Feb. 25, and the specifics are to be set out by China’s ruling Communist Party’s (CCP) Central Military Commission.
