"The 'invaders' establish beachheads along Taiwan's west coast,"

No, in this case I think sam_paine is right. The AP has placed quotation marks around the word, implying that they are not true invaders.

Check the article.

Good catch sam.

Thanks for catching the catch, happyg!

You know that AP writers would love for the ChiCom “invaders” to take over Taiwan and California and DC for that matter.

I can always count on someone like “One-eye Pico-de-Gallo” or whatever his screen name is to try to give me remedial reading lessons when something like this comes up!

FR is getting painful to post on sometimes.
