BEIJING (Reuters)--China will hold three days of military exercises around Taiwan starting from Saturday, the People's Liberation Army's Eastern Theatre Command announced, the day after Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen returned from a trip to the United States.
China will hold "combat readiness patrols" and exercises around in the Taiwan Strait and to the north, south and east of Taiwan "as planned", it added in a brief statement.
Tsai met U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy while in Los Angeles on Wednesday, angering Beijing which views Taiwan as its own territory...
They all want to push China to do a Pearl Harbor or something that they can all a Pearl Harbor IMHO.
All to distract from financial disaster many say.
China really behaves like Norks. Just a lot more of them. Asian socialists. Really pretty much the same.
They are in a bigger league than the North Koreans and the lust for war with them runs high among the High and Mighty here in the USA.
Please nuke us Xi.
Destroy every citadel of socialism, every hive of homosexuality, every tower of transgenderism, and every academy of anarchy.
At this point it is better our nation dies in fire than continue its current collapse.
“”Please nuke us Xi.

A call for Communist China to destroy America because we are too evil.
How nice.
I don’t wish ill on anyone Xi or the USA but the insanity out there is going towards a conclusion with the Higher Authority having the final say.
Making China pay for a full deployment is pretty smart
And I say you’re an idiot. Stop covering for communist tyrant thugs.
Taiwan is a long standing democratic ally. More power to McCarthy.
Taiwan to me should be called by its original name the Republic of China remember Chiang Kai-Shek I do.
My teacher in high school angered me calling Chiang a fascist dictator but hey that was a view some held.
Taiwan is about computer chips and $$$$ lets just get honest and cut out all the “Democracy” stuff “Democracy” is for George Soros.
The founders wanted the USA to be something other than a “Democracy” but its been p*ssed down.
The United States' One-China policy was first stated in the Shanghai Communiqué of 1972: "the United States acknowledges that Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China."- wiki
So why are the our neocons so eager to start trouble there like we did in Ukraine?
Taiwan is a free country. China is not. Sorry if you don’t like that they are a successful society with industry and technology.
Some people just have to complain about everything.
Oh please! Where in your brilliant China ass kissing quote did it say that no one can meet with Taiwan leaders?
Neocons? You people have Neocons on the brain.
Taiwan is an ally for over 70 years, it’s an important free and strategic island.
But we should flush all America, all Freedom and all allies down the toilet because you learned the word “Neocons”.
Doesn’t sound like you know what you are talking about. It happens to be official US policy that Taiwan is a part of China. Rant and rave all you want.
It happens to be that we have a defense commitment to Taiwan and have always been free to meet with their leaders. So maybe you’ll learn something before you complain about everything.
Do you know how much military equipment we sell to Taiwan every year? Without interruption. For 70 years now.
But your going to prove to me that we can’t do that because you read about the “One China” policy.
Red China is a threat to our lives. Ignore that at your peril.
Taiwan was a Portuguese colony called Formosa.
Why the raging anger about China being Communist now after 50 plus years of official butt kissing launched by Richard M. Nixon and Henry Kissinger?
The US government butt kissing of China went on for decades starting with Nixon going to Communist China 50 plus years ago.
Why all the dramatic anger about Communist China now why the 180 degree reversal of policy.
You sound like a stable, fun person.
China will hold “combat readiness patrols” and exercises around in the Taiwan Strait and to the north, south and east of Taiwan “as planned”.
I really don’t like the sound of that.
The gradient is increasing.
What will Jill do ???
