When relations between the United States and China were tense, the CCP took the opportunity to create an atmosphere of war, with air defense posters and conscription notices appearing in many places.

 At a time when U.S.-China relations are tense, the CCP took the opportunity to create an atmosphere of war, with anti-air raid posters and conscription notices in many places. The Chinese Communist Party's move attracted netizens to ridicule "still staying in the tunnel war." Some scholars have analyzed that the United States and China will not go to full-scale war. The CCP uses to create fear, transfer internal pressure, and strengthen control of the people.

As U.S.-China relations continue to deteriorate, the CCP has begun to spread a "war atmosphere" that has interrupted the prevention of air raids for nearly 50 years. Posters appeared in Haidian District, Beijing on July 25. The authorities asked the public to immediately obey the command after hearing the alarm, and "quickly enter the civil air defense project" to avoid air strikes.

In addition, there is also a notice issued by the Chongqing Shuiyun Road Community Neighborhood Committee on July 24, saying that families of active border and coastal defense officers and soldiers in the jurisdiction are invited, especially those stationed in Xinjiang, Tibet, Yunnan, Guangxi, Hainan and other places on border islands. The families of active-duty officers and soldiers registered in the community in time.

In response, Mr. Wu, a Beijing citizen, told Radio Free Asia (RFA) that the authorities were frightening the people and inspiring the so-called "patriotic passion."

"To arouse popular anger (against the United States) and want everyone to be prepared for war, which means that the United States is going to war with us. In fact, he (the government) also knows that he can't fight a war because he will lose once he fights. It doesn't matter to the ordinary people. The government's propaganda makes the ordinary people very nervous." Mr. Wu said.

There are also mainland people who are dismissive of official propaganda. Netizen Mr. Li said that people on the Internet have different reactions. "Some netizens have made it into a picture, with air defense knowledge on the top, and the word ‘now all high-tech fixed-point removals, beheadings, it has nothing to do with me’."

Some netizens sarcastically said that the CCP’s concept is still "during the tunnel war", "because they simply crawled out of the hole."

Some netizens said, "Now they are all Hellfire missiles. The combat mode of letting the leaders go first is useless at all." "It won't happen... Is it useful for the scumbags to fool the people?" "The U.S. wants to accurately behead you (the Chinese Communist Party) and you don't know anything until you die."

Chinese political scholar Sun Bin told RFA that he has also seen propaganda similar to "conscription" in some cities along the southeast coast. However, he believes that this move by the Chinese Communist Party is not really worried about the US airstrikes on Beijing and Shanghai and other big cities, but to create tension.

"The authorities often control the people by creating a tense atmosphere, and the people will resist a little bit. They will wear a hat to you (to add to the crime), say you support the United States and so on." Sun Bin said.
