“We have been holding night exercises on a regular basis recently, which usually continues until early the next day,” People’s Liberation Army Col. Jiang Feng said of the Tuesday drills, according to regional media. "We often change training grounds, striking targets, and launch bases without prior notice to test the troops’ skills and pave the way for the brigade to fight and be able to fight at any time.”
Chinese state media reportedly released footage of the DF-26 missiles, known as “carrier killers.” The display comes on the heels of “amphibious landing drills” that state media linked to the arrival in Taiwan of a bipartisan Senate delegation. In tandem, the drills call attention to Chinese preparations to invade the island democracy and combat U.S. forces that might attempt to intervene to defend Taiwan.
“If anyone dares to separate Taiwan island from China, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army will give it a head-on strike and firmly defend national reunification and territorial integrity at all costs,” Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said Tuesday, when the missile test reportedly took place.
US AND JAPAN WARN CHINA NOT TO ATTACK TAIWAN
The DF-26s create a math problem for the Pentagon. U.S. lawmakers expect that most American warships would have to leave the region in a crisis in order to escape the range of the “carrier killers.” American submarines could still operate closer to Taiwan, and B-52 bombers could arrive in as little as 28 hours...

Needed to ‘soften us up’ a little before making their move?

I no longer trust the media to get this correct so I will appeal to the more extensive knowledge base on Free Republic.
Does this sound accurate?
Guam is a small target for them. They could take it out easy. We’d have to keep hundreds of miles away. `
If the PLA threatens that, just tell them 10 cruise missiles will be shot at the Three Gorges Dam from a submarine.
They should been nuked back to or before the stone-age a long, long time go. War is coming, you can bet your sweet azz on it.
True, but they have to know that taking Guam out would be the 21st century equivalent to Pearl Harbor.
The Japanese Admiralty also thought they could rule the Pacific if they just eliminated the US Pacific Fleet. After all, Hawaii, like Guam today, was only a territory at the time.
You don’t kill your best market. They are getting rich off us. We were in this same military position with the Soviets and they finally imploded.
My understanding is that Chinese submarines are rarely encountered outside the area around China, unlike the Soviets.
If they were, they wouldn't be testing a new "carrier killer."
China has been at war with the U.S. for a while. In fact, since they've pretty much won, I guess you could say it's about over.
Donthink for a minute that we don’t have subs patrolling the south china sea. 4 mins to the 3 Gorges dam and game over for China. It aint the weapons BTW, its the douchebag who is getting illegal cash from his masters in China who has to order the attack. Good luck with that. Personally I think Taiwan has counter measures thst will make China wish it never saw Taiwan! They have had 75 years to prepare. We are too far away to be depended upon.
after stealing EVERYTHING,
releasing BIOWARFARE,
releasing part 2 for the DNA operating systems,
releasing infected masks and diaagnostic test kits,
after setting up bases across the Americas,
after buying of the TREASONOUS Congress with
children, cocaine, fake cash,
after helping STEAL the ELECTION,
this?
is there any testicular fortitude to prevent
the NEXT attack?
What China needs is decapitation of the CCP leadership. Replace the top brass.
We are not the same country as in 1941. Half the country, might support the enemy.
Want to see Beijing evaporate?
