Taiwan has enjoyed the protection of the United States against China since 1979. But that protection is being tested today, days after Joe Biden was inaugurated.
Taiwan has been a sticky subject for decades. When Jimmy Carter signed the Taiwan Relations Act in 1979, it became de facto recognition that the island is not part of the People’s Republic of China and therefore was considered a sovereign nation that could be protected from invasion.
Today, China launched an incursion into Taiwan airspace, sending a very intimidating force consisting of eight nuclear-capable bombers and four fighters. It is more than enough to decimate all of the populated areas on the tiny island of under 14,000 square miles. Taiwan responded by readying their missile defense system. According to Reuters:
Eight Chinese bomber planes and four fighter jets entered the southwestern corner of Taiwan’s air defence identification zone on Saturday, and Taiwan’s air force deployed missiles to “monitor” the incursion, the island’s Defence Ministry said.
China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory, has conducted almost daily flights over the waters between the southern part of Taiwan and the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands in the South China Sea in recent months.
However they have generally consisted of just one or two reconnaissance aircraft. The presence of so many Chinese combat aircraft on this mission – Taiwan said it was made up of eight nuclear-capable H-6K bombers and four J-16 fighter jets – is unusual.
The Chinese Communist Party has objected to the murky status of Taiwan since the act was passed, claiming Taiwan is part of their country and therefore an internal issue. But they have never challenged the United States with a large military incursion until today.
Mainstream media will downplay this story if they cover it at all. The last thing they want after working so hard to cover up connections between the Biden family and the Chinese Communist Party is to publicize suddenly increasing aggression by the Chinese military.
Quelle surprise!
Maybe the UN should send some “peacekeepers” to China.
Biden inherited this China mess from Trump... they would have never have done this if trump had not been defeated in a rigged erection.
So, will Kameltoe & Bidet both receive the Nobel Peace Prize?
Next China will declare an ADIZ over the South China Sea.
With Beijing Bidet in the White House Taiwan is day old burnt toast.
The MSM worked overtime to cover up lucrative connections between the Biden family and the Chinese Communist Party,
they can't allow publicizing increasing aggression by the Chinese military.........ordered by Xi, Hunter and Joe's bosom buddy.
Chit’s getting serious teal fast.
The Devil is fiddling and dancing and laughing.
We’ve seen some cracks in the MSM’s façade recently with regard to Biden. Who knows.;-)
Steler Joe will not likely even twitch. He’ll invite them over for Kaffee.
OR
He’ll tweak his nuclear football and enter the GO codes.
Either way we are f**ked.
I mean do you not thinnkj we need the 25th amendment right away.
How can we TRUST a man like Stealer Joe with the nuclear codes. He is so cognitavely disabled that he so hould not be allowed to have the codes at all.
Its so bad, I can’t sleep at night. He needs to be removed from office.
Impeach him for his CHINA influence peddling with his son Hunter, the FBI has all the evidence.
Crush Biden, get rid of him.
Biden bastard BAD. OUT OUT OUT!
I heard the Chinese Painted Joe’s Picture on all their Aircraft, is this True??
China has been handed a golden ticket. I predict that they will invade Taiwan during the Biden/Harris presidency. The question is...what will America do then?
We get the government we deserve..
By March this year ?
China will take Taiwan in Biden’s second term so he faces no election issue.
The Democrats and media will silence anyone who raises this issue as a “warmonger” and meddling in foreign affairs.
Naw, send social workers!
China will take Taiwan in Biden’s second term so he faces no election issue.
biden won’t be president in 4 months much less 4 years
Yeah, just like Biden won't make it through the campaign or be able to debate.....
Are you still getting your thoughts from Q? Because believing what you believe is the height of stupidity.
