South China Sea: Beijing embarks on month of military drills as fears of all-out war rise
daily express ^ | 3/1/2020 | John Varga

Posted on 03/01/2021 2:22:20 AM PST by RomanSoldier19

The drills will take place west of the Leizhou Peninsula and will run from Monday until the end the month. The area will be closed off to all other vessels, according to a notice posted on the website of China's Maritime Safety Administration. The new exercises appear to be a response to increased US military activity in the region over recent weeks and months.

Monitoring data provided by a Beijing think tank showed that the US has just carried out a number of surveillance missions over the last week.

The South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative (SCSPI) said that the US military sent various reconnaissance aircraft to the South China Sea on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

These included an MQ-4C maritime reconnaissance drone, an EP-3E spy plane and an RC-135U strategic reconnaissance aircraft.

At the same time, the US Navy dispatched the ocean surveillance ship USNS Impeccable to the region on Friday.

Military experts told China's state media outlet The Global Times that these operations will allow the US to increase its military intelligence on the People's Liberation Army (PLA).

The US will not engage China assertively so long as Biden is in the WH. What China demands of its stooge Biden, it shall receive.

Good! Let them spin their wheels. We would do well to catch all the different transmissions, including the ones that start, “But Sarge, we can’t do that! The parts aren’t here yet!”

Pray for brave American patriots in harm’s way under a corrupt and fraudulent CinC and SecDef. Our troops already have one arm tied by the “brain trust”.

China may be waiting for Joe to be 25th’d.

Imagine Kamala as Prez when the Far East gets a bit dicey.

Great job, Democrats. Great job. /s

I hope the Impeccable doesn’t end up like the Pueblo.

They may do a fake war if they can each get what they want out of it.

China got 4 years to continue training and equipping a military they can dominate the pacific asia with.

They will continue to subvert nations while supplanting the Global military dominance of the United States.

Not to worry, if things get dicey in the far east, Kamala will just go over there with her reputation for trading sexual favors for political favors and do a little dance, giggle and flirt a little bit and then astound everyone with her makeup and wardrobe choices that makes her seem professional yet still semi-f***able.

Your second paragraph is EXACTLY what the CIA has been doing and continues to do since the CIA was called the OSS (Nazi SS) until now and continuing. The CIA is past ready to take out/kill the US military COMPLETELY!!

China will act—Biden will react—by going to the UN, writing a letter and talk big—maybe send Obama to make peace. (or Hunter). This could go bad really fast. What if China seizes those little Japanese Islands? What if they snuff out Hong Kong? wat if they boldly move in to Taiwan? Or move on India? or Vietnam? Or even back North Korea in a move against South Korea? What id China orders all US troops out of Korea? Would Biden comply? You Bet!

There is no telling how/what is the works. That is good you are questioning everything though.
