Does China sense weakness in the White House? In recent days Chinese troops have been sent to Belarus for military exercises, dozens of Chinese military aircraft have been threatening Taiwan, and four Chinese military vessels were even detected off the coast of Alaska. So why has China decided to become so aggressive all of a sudden? Right now, Joe Biden is facing endless questions about his competency, and those around him are focused on fighting for his political survival. So could foreign adversaries such as China use this window of opportunity to do things that they may not normally attempt to do?
According to authorities in Taiwan, 66 Chinese military aircraft and 7 Chinese military vessels were “operating around Taiwan” on Wednesday…
Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence (MND) on Thursday said that it had detected 66 Chinese military aircraft and vessels around the island, apparently en route to a Chinese military exercise in the Western Pacific.
The media outlet embedded a statement by Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence on its X platform.
“66 PLA aircraft and seven PLAN vessels operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 am (2200 GMT Wednesday) today,” the statement said.
When asked about this, the Chinese government responded by declaring that the operation was about protecting “its sovereignty and territorial integrity”…

Leo had a lot of land.
And a lot of people, dependent on him.
He was no Diogenes. Rather a hypocrite really.
But Taiwan was nothing until capitalism turned it into what it is today.
They simply want to take what capitalism built.
Something is up all right, they’ve only got until November to make their move.
We are trying to undermine their alliance with Russia in the Ukraine war. Threatening trade. They are just putting a bit of pressure on us and our alliance with Taiwan. They are pressuring, Japan and The Philippines as well. They are banking on Trump not being president and Harris and the Biden cabal staying in power. Do they know something we do not?
FJB has picked a war with Russia and China
no surprise
They’re always up to something. It’s just that now we’re more aware of it because it cannot be hidden any more.
Taiwan was strategically important even without an economy.
It holds the key to the shipping lanes to Japan.
So does the Phioippines. Who China is also threatening.
Taiwans TSMC is just the whipped cream on top.
Trump was threatening their trade in 2016-20.
Changing the terms of trade (since the MFT concession in 2001) was one of his trademark policies.
Should be “Slow Joe and the Hoe.”
Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me to see Xi and Biden stage a fake war that gives both sides what they need.
The real culprits are the likes of Klose Shwab, Soros, Gates and let us not forget about the great Suckerburg.. The ultra rich and thereby powerful, with lots of free time and money at their hands to screw up an entire planet. They buy and sell the lawyer politicians like the worthless tripe they really are... :(
Oh, let's not forget Obama. He's is quite the tool you know. His hate for America has made him very popular with the enemy...
Joe Biden is what’s up. The Chinese see a befuddled old man at the helm of a lost nation.
I saw what you did there.
😆
“Does China sense weakness in the White House? “
Does the Pope crap in the woods?
With Biden and party in charge who wouldn’t get aggressive best time to get away with it.
Globalists and neocons are hellbent on starting a war with either Russia or China.
Stop pretending we're helping the rest of the world rather than fomenting revolutions and stirring up wars so corrupt politicians and oligarchs can get rich.
We lost any moral authority in the world after Reagan's term.
The CCP’s fearless leader started offing some military types. Dictators are like that.
LOL Everyone senses weakness in this White House. That's why the world's on fire.
In practice, even in disciplined and tightly controlled military organizations, sometimes things happen that are not supposed to happen.

Right, I remember that incident. Those mistakes of 23 years ago have been corrected with the increased use of political officers up and down the chain of command which, at the top, is answerable directly to Beijing.
China of today is not the China of 23 years ago when it was just beginning to open up. Today’s China more closely resembles Mao’s China - not tightly controlled, but absolutely controlled.
Comparing China’s military to any other is a poor bet. It is mainly a hollow army which is spectacular at parades and making videos, but little else.
