As China escalates its gray zone tactics against Taiwan, Taipei has announced that it will dispatch military aircraft and ships to counter Chinese military activities near its borders.

Taiwan Defence Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng said that Beijing is carrying out electronic warfare and reconnaissance but Taiwan has countermeasures in place, Taiwan News reported.

He added the country's contingency planning takes into consideration the effect on future surveillance and counter-reconnaissance missions, Liberty Times reported. The military is able to handle any threat that arises, Chiu stressed.

Since mid-September of last year, Beijing has stepped up its gray-zone tactics by regularly sending planes into Taiwan's Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ), with most instances occurring in the southwest corner of the zone and usually consisting of one to three slow-flying turboprop planes.

Over the past few months, Taiwan has reported incursion by Chinese warplanes into ADIZ almost daily.

Don’t worry about Taiwan. They didn’t have to steal any technology.

Pei Ping.

Good training probably on a regular schedule and departure site.

[Trueblackman]

I won’t be surprised if Slow Joe and Knee Pads haven’t already Green Lighted the invasion already.

[Vaquero]

Yeah because we back them 100%, right? Right?

[Kickass Conservative]

Aircrafts???

Is that like Geeses?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

No, like sheeps.

Taiwan’s F-16’s are being worn out flying intercept missions. It’s not funny. At a meeting with USAF counterparts in 2018 Taiwan AF asked the USAF delegates what they wanted them to do in the event of war. “Stay out of the way.” was the reply. They may not be able to count on help anymore.

I hope they’ve quietly developed a few nuclear weapons. If South Africa can do it they certainly can.

[Don W]

And deers, and mooses.

I hope they’ve quietly developed a few nuclear weapons. If South Africa can do it they certainly can.

They do have the tech and more. In Robert J. Ringer's book, "Looking Out For @1," (1977), Ringer made the suggestion that they most likely would have developed secret nukes to strike back at Red China if need be. Would they be willing to lose Peking (Beijing back then), Shanghai, Harbin, Nanking, Mukden, etc? I know if I was Taiwan, I'd have my own Sampson Option. Although this is a different but similar debate, the Ukraine was dumb to give up their nukes, maybe they kept a few in secret, I dunno.

"Yeah because we back them 100%, right? Right?"

Shmaybe. The Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 is not a guarantee of defense but is worded as a suggestion.

[al baby]

and beebers

[Larry Lucido]

Well, it’s the big news network blog! So, yeah.

If it was the small news network blog, it would just be aircraft.

[viewfromthefrontier]

A moose ate my sister.

[Vaquero]

That’s dead. The stolen president will back the communists.

[MSF BU]

Let the Reds know that if the come across the straight they’ll have a nuke heading right into the 3 Gorges Dam.
