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.

Democrats love war—especially really long and ugly ones.
This tells me that China is in serious straights.
Gotta get the populace behind you, even if the economy is in
free fall.
Hey, who not start a major war?
China is afraid of an uprising. It has to be a lot worse
than we thought.
No, don’t look here. Look over there...
Good time to do it.
Biden and his collection of talking turds won’t do s**t.
I agree, and I think they want Japan and the Philippines
also.
They want the entire Western Pacific.
Sattillite images would show large military concentrations massing on China’s coast opposite of Taiwan. Until that happens they arnt going to invade much of anything.
The Chinese military goes on high alert, just like they did yesterday, the day before, etc.
There have been signs that Russia has resumed building up forces opposite Ukraine and the Baltics, as well as in Belarus. Putin will take advantage of a Chinese move on Taiwan. So will Kim Jung un.
China says Taiwan is part of China. They will send thousands of only sons to their death invading themselves
Strong letter to follow. 😆
You doesnt take a great deal of strategery to win a game of chess when both rear rows are playing towards the same checkmate.
FREE TIBET
With all of the satellites parked above Taiwan surprise isn’t really a thing any longer.
That idiot Jimmy Carter said the same thing in the late 1970’s....that Taiwan is a part of China.
Then he ended diplomatic relations with Taiwan and recognized Red China. Threw an ally under the bus.
What were Biden’s long talks with Yogi the Bear really about ?
Yep, that’s about it.
Will be interesting to see what Taiwan does.
Japan must be quaking in their boots.
I thought of the same thing. It takes a lot of money to surge 4 aircraft carriers and show the flags. Once that deployment is done and the fleets returned, China only needs to wait 90 days and those forces are now combat ineffective by transfers, repairs, and atrophy.
That is when I’d hit.
Japan is buying arms
Good.
They ought to be.
China knows that Biden is less that a paper tiger.
Biden is a paper bunny with dementia.
