China launches "military drills," sending planes and ships to encircle Taiwan — AFP
If I was Xi I woulda done it much earlier. The Dems dont want this war...unless they think that they can suspend the election over it? Everyone and I mean everyone knows that Trump is the leader to be in command in the U
SA if shtf in Taiwan/China. Right now the USA has no president. Is the acronym PINO trending by now?
Wal-Mart watches nervously.
The previous event.
China launches military drills surrounding Taiwan

May 23, 2024 — China has launched military drills surrounding Taiwan the week the democratic Asian island inaugurated a new president.
Along with Amazon.
By the time Trump is sworn in, China will own enough of Taiwan to make reunification a certainty.

Joint Sword A: “The drills focus on joint sea-air combat-readiness patrol, joint seizure of comprehensive battlefield control”
Joint Sword B: “joint sea-air combat readiness patrol, the blockade and control of key ports and areas, strikes on sea and land targets”

We should stay out of these wars. Let the Chinese do what the Chinese do.

There is some truth to that. I have a Taiwanese National “ in law”. Discussions revealed much our MSM will not report. A majority of Taiwanese businesses
(middle class, the people) do business with the main land. They do NOT want war with China, they want trade and commerce.
They feel their leaders are being pushed by the US into war. Sound familiar? The Taiwanese are saddled with a warring leadership, just like the US currently is….that said, China can easily isolate with a naval blockade and no fly zone- by some estimates Taiwan would fold inside of 90 days…..and there would be nothing the US could do about it.
China outnumbers us with war ships, has a 90 mile supply line- the US’s 8,000 mile supply line will be easily cut, and Guam easily “ erased” if need be.
Our Pentagon knows this, and our reliance on them holding our debt instruments ( which they are selling off) throws in the possibility of financial war. As with senile Joe’s Ukie war, I simply don’t believe we would make another mistake, this one much larger than Joe’s Ukie debacle.
So what?
If you were Xi, would election month not be preferred time to make a move?

You will know when. China has been slowly selling off our debt notes, but if they sold all at once, it would castrate us financially….we would run out of money to finance the US….unless we started massive printing putting us on the path of Venezuela.
That said, they will sell off ( at a time of their choosing) as they will not end up like Russia, having their assets confiscated. Senile Joe put a nail in the USD coffin by weaponizing the dollar…..which is why the world is starting a new form of world settlement, the Brics “ Unit”.
The last time China fought an actual war was in the '50s during the Korean War. During the '70s, they had their @$$es kicked by the Vietnamese.
So their military is a paper tiger like Russia. Corruption is likely a serious issue.
this has been the biggest story on China’s CGTN in recent days.
10 Oct: AFP: Channel News Asia: China says Taiwan’s leader ‘hell bent’ on independence
Reporting by Nilutpal Timsina in Bengaluru; Additional reporting by Ben Blanchard in Taipei; Editing by Jacqueline Wong and Michael Perry
BEIJING: China on Thursday condemned Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te for being “hell bent” on independence, after he vowed to “resist annexation” in a speech marking the self-ruled island’s National Day...
And a senior US administration official said that China may use the National Day celebrations “as a pretext” for military exercises...
Beijing insisted following Lai’s speech that “Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory” and that unification between the island and the mainland was “inevitable”...
In April, Biden signed a hard-fought bill into law that provides billions of dollars of new U.S. aid to Ukraine for its war with Russia, as well as for Israel and Taiwan...

30 Sept: Reuters: Biden approves $567 mln in defense support for Taiwan, White House says

I spoke to soon, looking at the chart of China’s US debt holdings, they have already started a massive sell off.
Hostilities will not begin until they have sold off our debt. Stay tuned.
If you were Xi, would election month not be preferred time to make a move?

I would say the day after the election if anything
An invasion would only help Trump and if I were Xi I would want a weak Harris as President
I think I pointed this out last spring, most experts think China is still a year or two away from being able to successfully invade
So If China is really planning on invading (IF)
Do you wait and continue to build up your military and invade with Trump in there
Or go here soon not quite ready but with Biden/Harris?
China doesn’t need to invade, a total blockage is more in character.
The world has changed, both China and Russia have advanced exponentially. Just one look around shows me how far the US has fallen.
Chicom propaganda.
Ok Puty Phile
Pathetic.
Their window is closing rapidly.
That appeasement thingy has such a good track record historically.
