"In a first-ever joint appearance Wednesday with the director of Britain’s MI5, the U.K.’s domestic intelligence agency, Wray raised the possibility that China might be inching closer to invading Taiwan, noting that Beijing has been taking steps to shield its economy from sanctions that would come after such a move."

“The widespread Western assumption that growing prosperity within China and increasing connectivity with the West would automatically lead to greater political freedom has been shown to be plain wrong,” McCallum said. “But the Chinese Communist Party is interested in our democratic, media and legal systems. Not to emulate them, sadly, but to use them for its gain.”

Just not long ago the FBI said “white supremacy” was the main threat.

I'm frankly shocked China hasn't invaded Taiwan already. What's the world gonna do when China "reunifies" Taiwan?

Not a damn' thing. Too much is outsourced to/made in China.

The FBI must really be in a Tizzy. Looks like khakis and knit shirts from Land’s End, MAGA baseball cap and NARC sunglasses ain’t gonna cut it on the “infiltrate the Chinese” stuff.....

China is a threat, but how many wars have they won in the last five centuries?

British? Russians? Japanese? Vietnamese? India?

How timely. BIDEN dipped into our strategic oil reserves and sold it to China. /s

The chinese landing craft must require a whole lot of fuel. It seems bidet owed them some favors for hunters payouts. Hope china doesn't forget the big guys 10% cut of the reserve oils profits.

“how many wars have they won in the last five centuries?”

A perhaps more relevant question is: “how many real wars have they fought in the last 7 decades?”

The answer is: zero. And they don’t much participate in coalition wars or “police actions” like Western countries either. Which means there probably isn’t a living combat veteran in the entire Chinese army.

They invaded north Vietnam a while back, and they are constantly skirmishing with India. There should be living veterans of that, although a minuscule percentage of the Chinese population.

Communism never worked as an economic system until they got a sucker to buy stuff produced by their slave labor.

Well, those “skirmishes” with India usually involved more people dying from the harsh conditions of the Himalayas than actual combat. And the invasion of Vietnam lasted one month.

I suppose those count, but I don’t think they count for much.

China might be inching closer to invading Taiwan

Hopefully it's only a limited full incursion over the weekend, Biden would never even know.

I agree. I was just being nitpicky. “I lost my toes in the Himalayas” is not great institutional knowledge to pass along.

If China really wants Taiwan, they will pay a price among its green troops and sailors.
