China is reportedly deploying aircraft carriers into war games in waters near Taiwan..

That’s a bit different than the clickbait headline.

How do aircraft carriers invade island countries? Did anyone notice, say, a bunch of troop ships with 200K soldiers aboard?

SSN targets. Remember the USN has plenty of experience sinking carriers. The PLAN has no experience defending them. Dead meat.

OH NOOOOOOO! One of our two CSGs could wipe out the entire
chi-com Navy— look up CSG ( chicoms navy whose two carriers consist of the OLD Soviet— Soviet era uncompleted Kuznetsov with ski jump launch deck- no catapault, and it’s recently launched Shandong COPY of the Kuznetsov— whoopee. With our stolen tech (with bugs inserted certainly) Both conventional power oil fueled.) Taiwan, Australia, S. Korea, Japan and even Vietnam would respond to this “threat”— and the chi-coms know it (not the crazy PLA generals all fellating XiPing, but even they can see they can’t take us-— and they look UP a lot where they really have no clue).

Which is why the proven bioweapon (which has purposely been veiled, not showing our hand). 60,000 Uyghurs known to be missing from their labor camps (back in late January their bodies went up in smoke... from SARSCov2-CCP virus).

“The move is playing into concerns that the Chinese Government could be moving to take advantage of the current global crisis as tensions with the US continue to worsen.”

right, because the perfect time to invade a neighbor is right when the entire world has turned against you for releasing a pandemic that has destroyed the world economy, including your own ...

During the US-Russia cold war, this type of activity was called saber rattling. It always sparked fears that never panned out except for the Bay of Pigs situation. When the US and Russia were the closest to a War than ever before and since.

China wants to dominate the world and is trying to do it through passive aggression. If a war were to break out countries will flock to the side they see winning. For China a war would be the worst mistake they could make. They would forever be tied to German Nazis received as far as reputation goes.

Mainland Communist China has had the notion of repatriating all those Nationalists, also now a democratic republic known as Taiwan, since the time of The Quemoy Conflict between those two parties in the 1950’s.This is the neighborhood dog fight to be.

If the PLAN really expects to challenge the USN with these carriers, they should buy a couple of glass bottom boats to inspect their fleet.

Doubt that an invasion is imminent And then there is this —

“This month the United States Navy’s Pacific Fleet submarine force announced that all of its forward-deployed submarines were simultaneously conducting “contingency response operations” in the Western Pacific in support of the Pentagon’s “free and open Indo-Pacific” policy.”

Chicom carrier vs. Virginia Class attack submarines = a greatly diminished Chinese Navy and a lot of wet Chinese sailors.

I think an invasion of Kinmen Island would be the easiest for China and a good practice run for a bigger invasion. The Taiwanese island is just 2 kilometres from the Mainland with a total population of 127k.

Not sure if Western powers are willing to help defend Kinmen.

Never let a Chinese laboratory manufactured virus pandemic go to waste. These are the most devious mofos on the planet, much more clever than Iranian Muslims

An someone knowledgeable about carrier operations tell us if the a Chicoms can launch multi plane air strikes, recover, rearm and relaunch continuously for multiple days like The US Navy can? I suspect they are not really trained up for heavy ops.
