Assuming this is real (and it appears to be), there has been what’s being described as an unprecedented leak of a recording of a top-secret meeting of China’s People’s Liberation Army leadership. During the meeting, senior military and CCP officials are heard discussing detailed plans to “smash” the military forces of Taiwan. There are also detailed discussions of logistical support for the invasion involving various companies that will provide needed supplies. Maintaining the security of key regions of mainland China from any sort of counterattacks is also discussed. The leaked audio raises several questions, including who would have carried out the leak and whether this is an actual plan or simply a preparatory exercise. (Times of India)
An unprecedented and explosive audio leak of a top-secret meeting of the Peoples Liberation Army has revealed China’s detailed plan to attack Taiwan.
Experts say that the audio clip posted on the YouTube channel of Lude media appears authentic. This will be the first time since the formation of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 that a recording of a top-secret meeting of a military command has been leaked.Apparently, “allies” within the Communist Party of China (CPC), especially the military ( codename “Thunder”) carried out the recording of the meeting that took place on May 14. No wonder the knives are out to nail the source of the leak. The Lude media recording was also posted on the twitter account of Jennifer Zeng @jenniferatntd.
The leak has surfaced when the CPC is apparently experiencing a bitter power struggle ahead of the 20th party congress later this year, which will deliver a new leadership, including the General Secretary of the CPC as well as the standing committee of the Politburo, comprising seven to nine members, forming the core of the party-state for the next five years.
China’s military seems to be particularly concerned with the security of the Pearl River Delta area in the Guangdong province. That is the heart of a lot of their manufacturing and tech centers that would be critical in supporting the invasion.
The first question to address here is whether this meeting was a discussion of active plans for an invasion with a targeted date to attack or not. The United States military has a database of invasion plans for every country in the world (including Canada!) should we ever need to go in. The possibility of an attack on Taiwan is always in the background for China, so they very likely go over and refine their strategy on a regular basis. If we’re lucky, perhaps that was all that was happening here.
We should also be wondering who would have risked their lives (literally) to leak out the audio of this meeting, assuming everything we’re hearing is real. The Chinese are notoriously good at keeping their inside information secret and the penalties for any perceived disloyalty are harsh beyond belief. If this leak is real, there may be some dissent among the ranks going on, with some factions being opposed to an invasion of Taiwan and trying to spoil the plans by letting the cat out of the bag.
Another possibility is that the CCP orchestrated all of this themselves while making it look like a leak. But to what purpose? That would be very out of character for Beijing. Why would they want to fool the world into thinking that they were about to do something they have been threatening to do for years?
Either way, if our intelligence agencies can verify this as being authentic, we’d better be making some preparations. First, we’ll need to decide whether or not we’re actually going to send our military to assist in the defense of Taiwan. (A topic that Joe Biden apparently changes his mind about on a weekly basis.) Assuming we won’t be doing that, Taiwan will definitely be looking for stepped-up shipments of military equipment similar to what we’re constantly sending to Ukraine. Congress should weigh in on this in advance before we run up billions of dollars of additional debt defending the borders of other countries while we ignore our own.
They’ve been planning for years. Now is the time with Braindead as Resident.
Putards rejoice at the prospect of more naked aggression and war
No time like the present - Biden being President gave them a nice window of opportunity with them being emboldened by the Afghanistan debacle.
Of course there are a handful of Xi supporters here who will be excited by this news - that big “antiglobalist” Xi and his CCP will save the world!
The ChiComs have been planning to invade Taiwan for seventy years.
I thought the leaked audio was a d-day style invasion of our left coast? Now it’s Taiwan. My, what a bunch of secret stuff being given out nowadays.
Yes, of course.
The CCP will find Taiwan (should Taiwan resist in earnest) is a very hard target. And Taiwan will not be standing alone, most of the Pacific rims countries will side with Taiwan. So how is the CCP going to fight Taiwan, Japan, S. Korea, Vietnam, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, UK and USA?
The only shock is that they haven’t done it yet! That said, I think, like the Russian army in Ukraine, things won’t go as planned or hoped for the chinks!!
“China’s military seems to be particularly concerned with the security of the Pearl River Delta area in the Guangdong province. That is the heart of a lot of their manufacturing and tech centers that would be critical in supporting the invasion.”
I think that the Chinese military need to be concerned with the Three Gorges Dam, and downstream environs. I really think that Taiwan would take it out, should mainland China actually try to destroy Taiwan.
And the US will lose horribly.
This is what happens when e don’t support Ukraine. South Korea and China are watching.
I’ve said from the beginning of the rogue illegitimate manchurian TalyBiden admin
That his/it/groomer/criminal’ s
goal is to get us into war with CCP
then wave the white flag of unconditional surrender.
If he isn’t impeached immediately we will become the eastern most prefecture of Communist China.
Don’t be surprised if this is counterintelligence.
The PLA is heavily inculcated in Sun Tzu and deception is going to be prized.
While it is prudent to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan I also am still of a mind that China plans to invade Siberia while Russia is weak. Meaning that this deception is not intended for Western ears but to lull the Russians into sending more of their Eastern Military District forces to Ukraine.
The US Army planned an invasion of Taiwan and it was scrapped because it would be too costly in terms of lives lost.
Taiwan is easy to defend, as there are mountains close to the beaches that give defenders the high ground.
There will be no invasion of Taiwan. Chinese generals may wish to fight but Comrade Xi is no fool. He has witnessed what happened to the Russian military trying to attack on land, the political and economic consequences. Xi knows that his combat inexperienced army and untested equipment may not be up to the task of attacking across 90 miles of open ocean. If the invasion fails the consequences for Comrade Xi, his family and sycophants won’t be pleasant.
And China Joe’s administration just gave China the go ahead. China tells him what to do.
Yup
Both things might be true
The plans might be true
The deliberate leaking might also be true
