China’s display of military force can be seen as an open challenge to the US and its allies
Though it may merely be a symbolic display of muscle-flexing, the rapid escalation of Chinese military activity around Taiwan over the last few months has raised concern around the world.
That tensions were heightened when a total of 149 Chinese aircraft invaded Taiwan's air space all through last week. Experts suggest the purpose of the exercise is merely to cause disturbance prior to Taiwan’s national day that on the 10th of October.
The US State Department said it was deeply concerned and accused China of carrying out "provocative military activities" that "undermines regional peace and stability", adding its commitment to Taiwan was "rock solid."

The US State Department is staffed by a cadre of antiAmerican a-holes from ivy league socialist indoctrination.
That is true … but what it’s really about is striking while the iron is hot. There is literally a dementia victim in the WH. Would you expect anything less from our adversaries?
Does Taiwan need nukes?
oh hell yes. They going to rely on F-Joe Biden to help protect them from the Chi-coms?
India already has em and China best watch out.
Chi-coms need watch out as India has a bulls eye on the three gorges dam.
Only about 10% of Taiwanese are willing to fight China. Another 10% live in China. About 50% want to unify with China, as most of their economy is trade with China. Those that want independence want the west to do the fighting for them. Taiwan only spends 2% of GDP on defense. Taiwan is pretty socialist, with hidden taxes on the young funding free stuff for the old.
Is democracy an idea whose time is over.?
What will happen to China’s ambitions when their economy collapses? The mother of all bubbles is about to burst which will almost certainly provoke civil unrest.
China could take over Taiwan in a day, probably will. Biden will do nothing except join in the “international outrage”. Even nukes arent a deterrent at this point. I lived in Taiwan as a military rugrat when I was a kid. Its going to be shameful to watch it happen. China will do it just because they know the US will do nothing.
MacArthur was right. We should have nuked the Chicoms back across the Yalu River.
Before the CCP lets revolution they will foment hate for them capitalists in Taiwan.
Wag the dog Chi-com style.
And f-you Dementia Joe will let it happen rather than allow the CCP to show how much graft his Biden crime family has gotten from them.
