The Chinese communist regime’s military new Reserve Personnel Law will be implemented on March 1. It will raise the age limits for various ranks in the reserve forces, a move analysts say reflects the regime’s intention to invade Taiwan.

Under the regime’s decades-old Military Service Law, the service age of reserve soldiers was set at 18 to 35 years old.
