China announced on Tuesday it will hold military exercises in the South China Sea this week, providing few details of the operation beyond roughly where it will be staged.

An American carrier battle group is currently conducting a freedom of navigation patrol in the area.

Taiwan held an air defense exercise after a record number of menacing Chinese military incursions into its air defense zone over the weekend.

According to a notice from the Chinese government, part of the Gulf of Tonkin near Vietnam has been restricted for the military exercise from Wednesday, January 27 through Saturday, January 30.

Looks like the Chinese will be rattling the saber more often with a weak man like Biden running the country.

China is not capable of invading Taiwan.

Though they are capable of destroying it.

They would lose over half their military assets trying to cross that 100 miles of open ocean, even if Taiwan had no outside help.

I dread the day when we hear that Taiwanese forces have been put on full alert.

That would be hard on TSMC’s semiconductor production. Their plants are a source of a major portion of the world’s supply of foundry produced chips.

Their relationship goes back at least ten years....Obama arranged a six-day tour of China for talks with Xi. in August 2011 ..BEFORE Xi was President. Biden was accompanied by Xi throughout the trip....

Biden was on another visit to China, this time accompanied by another granddaughter......The idea was to project a "family-to-family" friendship......."a new type of great power relationship" between the countries As XI put it.... Xi envisioned the powers leading the world while cooperating on an 'equal footing'.

The idea was to project a "family-to-family friendship."

Also Biden accompanied Xi to Los Angeles Cal. for A deal announced there which allowed Chinese movies into Hollywood every year.

Nov.2013....Susan Rice, Obama's national security adviser, delivered an Asia-Pacific policy speech... she expressed a willingness to accept the notion......."When it comes to China, we seek to operationalize a new model of major power relations," she said. "That means managing inevitable competition while forging deeper cooperation on issues where our interests converge -- in Asia and beyond."

Taiwan recently embraced gay marriage. Maybe the American sexual degenerates will induce Biden to save Taiwan.

I agree. If China does invade Taiwan, I suspect Biden will stand on the sidelines, watching.
