At 10 p.m. EDT on Thursday, 10 a.m. on Friday in Beijing, Xi Jinping will deliver one of the most important addresses of his now eight-year rule. It’s an address the American people might want to pay attention to. After all, Xi’s speech will be designed to prepare the Chinese people for possible war with the United States.

Evincing as much, Chinese state media is promising saturated coverage of Xi’s marking of the 70th anniversary of the “mission to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.” Translation: the 70th anniversary of China’s entering the Korean War. Promising wall-to-wall coverage of Xi’s “important speech,” the People’s Daily newspaper notes that “China Central Radio and Television Station and Xinhuanet will broadcast live broadcasts of the conference. Central key news websites such as People’s Daily Online, CCTV, and China Net will be synchronized with new media platforms such as the People’s Daily client, Xinhua News Agency client, and CCTV News…” The speech appears to be required viewing for members of the People’s Liberation Army forces, so this can be considered a “we interrupt your broadcast…” level national event.
