China is stepping up military drills around East Asia as a war of words with the United States heats up over Washington's military activities and the visit of a US cabinet secretary to Taiwan.
One Chinese think tank even says the People's Liberation Army (PLA) may consider live-fire exercises near the US island of Guam.
Beijing has stepped up the pace of its war games in recent weeks, after the US sent two aircraft carrier strike groups on rare dual-carrier exercises in the South China Sea twice in the month of July.
But the visit of US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar to the self-governed island of Taiwan this week has added fuel to the smoldering tensions. Azar is the highest-ranking US official to visit the island -- which Beijing regards as Chinese territory -- in decades.

So let's consider live-fire exercises in Hong Kong harbor.
How do you like them apples?
Im sure there is some communication between CCP and the democrats. If the democrats feel a Chinese move on Taiwan or wherever helps them, then expect to see one before the election. I think the Chicoms will wait until after the election before they make their move. Its a lot easier just to buy HK and Taiwan from Biden than to have to fight for them.
Imagine the pee in the water.
Under reported but Sunday morning the US fired off an ICBM missile with four mervr warheads from somewhere in the country and pinpoint targeted them to a location 4200 miles away. The dummy warheads landed within 10 ft of targets. It was Trump warning the ChiComs that if they do something stupid we have tactical nukes we can put down Xi’s chimney.
A shot 4,200 miles down range is NOT “tactical”. LOL.
Brad completely misunderstands. The military of China is gearing up to put down internal insurrection. Interal conflict in the leadership aand opposition to the CCP will be forcefully put down.
Xi doesn’t have time for a war with the USA and the rest of the world.
An external threat is what the ChiComs want to solidfy and divert internal politics against a common foe. So Free Traitors need to worry about a ChiCom - USA conflict. Because if we have one you will be hunted down.
We were just giving the Chinese a demonstration of what we are capable of which would be to totally dominate them in a military confrontation. Don’t be lulled into the brainwashing of the media and so called experts. There is only one super power in the world and it’s not China or Russia. Believe me both of them got the message loud and clear.
“Xi doesn’t have time for war with the USA.”
Or the ability to wage and win a war with the USA.
