The Chinese military has conducted yet another drill featuring assault landing and island-control exercises, Chinese state media reported on Tuesday, continuing its training to boost soldiers’ combat readiness in case of insurgency in the Taiwan Strait.
In addition, the People’s Liberation Army has staged drills in the South China Sea as British aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth sailed through the disputed waters.
An amphibious synthetic brigade under the Xiamen-headquartered 73rd Group Army recently conducted a drill on China’s Southeast Coast, an exercise in the military’s capability of conducting cross-sea island seizure operations.

Let’s pray this will be their Bay of Pigs. But it seems like it won’t.
Like our Dems the Chinese Commies use the opposite to describe anything. This army "liberates" people from having their freedoms and rights. They are totally free of these in China. Ask the Christians there.
Give Taiwan and Japan nukes. End of story.
Taiwan?
I was reading yesterday where someone posited China could assault and overcome Australia in just one day.
The fastest way to defeat China is no longer allow any of their container ships into our nation’s ports, and sanction any nation that does.
Export is still their lifeblood.
War is coming.
Oh, it’s fine!
Sounds right. I think you know a lot more than I do.
I have heard the Chicoms are not as strong as they look militarily but try to defeat enemies before a shot is fired on the battlefield as in the old Chinese Sun Tzu Art of War book.
Hope that’s true.
Not to worry. The US military is standing by to provide military support to Taiwan.
Unfortunately for Taiwan, the US military has been training hard to come in second place in the next shooting war we undertake to get involved in. However the good news is the US military led by General Mark Milley will take on any other military in the world in drag queen beauty pageants and LGBTQ diversity, inclusion and equity indoctrination.
We are approximately in 1937 or maybe 1940 with respect to history repeating itself
Stop Chinese imports ?
Agree but after supply chains are built up elsewhere.
Why would the Chinese communist leaders risk annihilation in a shooting war over Taiwan?
Makes no sense.
Look at China now versus the 1950s when their leaders really wanted to punish Taiwan.
China tells us they are doing great.
Space shots….speedy trains…..big dams…..
But they want to punish Taiwan because their grandads were mad at Taiwan?
Stupid.
Unless it’s just to take attention away from China’s internal mess.
Taiwan needs about 200 nukes, deliverable by rocket (by sub and silo and truck), cruise missile (launched from truck, boat, plane, and sub), and bomb by plane.
Here comes the Yellow Peril again. Stop overestimating the CCP’s capabilities.
“The PLAAF is cutting the time it takes to produce a combat-ready fighter pilot from 10 years to just seven by streamlining its officer academies and flight schools.” That’s the latest on Chinese “training”. 10 years (soon 7) to make a fighter pilot. There’s less time for actual training because most of the time is spent in political indoctrination.
Those nice sandy beaches the Chinese are training on are nothing like the marshy quagmires of Taiwan.
But by all means, go ahead and panic.
Bingo.
Or on the other hand, for internal consumption, as as most of these sorts of things not actually conducted outside of China.
Panic? I am not worried at all.
Why our all new and improved LGTBTQ US Navy is defending America from all enemies, foreign and homophobic.
I’m thinking more along the lines of what Japan and India would do. I suspect they would act. Neither would want a China turning it’s entire attention on them after consolidating Taiwan, if China won.
