RED DAWN China puts military on ‘high alert’ as state media fires ‘DOOMSDAY’ warning at Taiwan amid fears of invasion & WW3

CHINA has reportedly placed its military on "high alert" as state controlled media warned Taiwan of a looming "doomsday" amid fears of invasion.

Beijing and Taipei are feared to be sitting on the brink of a conflict which could end up drawing in the US and potentially spiralling into World War 3.

Both sides have traded barbs - and now China has issued some of its most strongly worded threats to date as it vows to "reunify" with the separatist island that has claimed independence since 1949.

Chinese defense ministry spokesman Tan Kefei described Beijing's military as an "high alert" and "ready to fight any time", according to Communist Party controlled newspaper The Global Times.

And he fired back at the US who accused China of destabilising the region by carrying out military drills which are seen as squarely aimed at Taiwan.

Dozens of warplanes have been buzzing the island's air space and mass beach landing operations have been carried out in exercises that are widely seen as rehearsals for - or at least threats of - a full scale invasion.

Tan reiterated that Taiwan belongs to China and accused the US of "confusing white with black" over the issue - pledging that "external interference" would be beaten back.

(A China takeover of Taiwan would plunge the world into an economic abyss overnight)

Any war between them could see shelves stripped bare like when the coronavirus thingy started too.

Red China is trying to bait Taiwan into tell them if they have nukes or not.

The only way they will know is when they get hit with them, esp. any sea invasion force. Fish fry at 8:00. Bring your own plate and chop sticks!!!

I think it’s clear China wants to see what the reaction might be from Taiwan, ie if there are appeasers in their midst.

If a serious opposition develops, China can come in with their support, but I think this is going to back fire.

You have many generations of people, esp young growing up in Taiwan and experiencing freedom. Try taking that away, and bang!! you will see people willing to fight to the death to keep it esp the women of Taiwan.

Taiwan, is not an easy territory to conquer unless you nuke it, but why would China want to wipe out millions of people, and have an island that is inhabitable for years to come.

No, this is the era of Biden...

No kidding. Considering the current tyranny in Australia, a Chinese occupation would be considered a welcome break by Aussies.

I’ve never heard anything about it but I suppose you are right. It would make perfect sense considering the threat they face.

They have over a million men looking for brides due to the “one child” policy. A million men with no hope of finding a mate or starting a family.

A million men with nothing to lose.

It won’t be pretty.

But Israel does have the Bomb and Israel and Taiwan have had off the grid relationship for decades. Before Mandela South Africa was a party as well.

I am not here to defend Milley one bit I just made one point. Milley is an advisor to the President. He is not a combatant commander. It’s a very key point.

Corporate is who loves those kind of wars — we don’t even fight to win the dammed things anymore — nice messy fights to generate cash flow...

And corporate owns 80% of the dems and 60% of the pubs.
