A Chinese diplomat recently met with Putin, it’s probably just a coincidence and more posturing by China but it seems like an escalation from their usual drills
I’d like to wake up one day and not hear about Russia, China and Trump ever again.
China performed similar drills in Intl waters between Australia and NZ just a couple of weeks ago
Doesn’t this happen every spring?
Just reporting the news from the story.
China’s armed forces launched exercises, dubbed “Strait Thunder-2025A,” in the middle and southern areas of the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday, focusing on testing the troops’ capabilities of “joint blockade and control” and “precision strikes on key targets,” the Eastern Theater Command’s spokesperson Senior Colonel Shi Yi said.
As part of the drills, which were not announced ahead of time, the ground army of the Eastern Theater Command conducted “live-fire long-range strike drills in designated areas of the East China Sea,” according to the statement.
Any time stuff like this happened internationally when biden was president, maga would spend the next week saying it’s his fault because he’s “weak”
It’s not an exercise, it’s practice, and now that the jaundice juggalo has pissed off the whole world, China’s biggest opponent is an outcast
I’m ***not*** saying he *should* but if I was Xi I would certainly do pick this period to do my dirty shit. The civilized world is reorganizing their economies while diplomatically clashing with the orange clown, I don’t think anyone would send all their armies/navy to the Taiwan strait when WW3 is brewing in the Atlantic and China has multiple times the military capabilities of Russia and the ability to replenish them almost endlessly.
I think an invasion is imminent. China senses Trump is weak and won’t defend any of America’s allies. Trump’s abandonment of Ukraine made that clear.
Is like everyone knows what is about to go down and is waiting for it.
>China’s Eastern Theatre Command said that on Wednesday as part of the Strait Thunder-2025A exercise its ground forces had conducted long-range live-fire drills into the waters of the East China Sea, though it did not give an exact location.
>”The drills involve precision strikes on **simulated targets of key ports and energy facilities**, and have achieved desired effects,” it said, without elaborating.
China is just openly admitting practicing for what people label war crimes in other wars and nobody cares.
I feel for the Taiwanese. Their struggles and successes will be wiped away by their big brother, the dictator. All the rights they enjoy at the monent…
Now that China got confirmation that US alliance or lack of is for sale they can hasten their invasion plans by at least 10 years to escalate this year and invasion next year.
This last occured in late Feb I’m pretty sure. This sounds like nothing new, just more fear mongering
*SURPRISE*
I think China is preparing to attack Taiwan when the US attack Iran.
Trumps handling of Ukraine is an open invitation to invade Taiwan. When the US fails to defend an ally it sends a message that we are weak and will not come to Taiwans defense.
I would be casually sending up drones to watch. Then maybe add some with loudspeaker mocking them and making them sound weak. Keep buzzing their ears.
If you can be there because of international waters i can send drones to watch buzz your ear and call them all shrimp dicks. Just the cheapos because if they shoot at them it doesn’t matter. They will be unarmed of course.
If and when China attacks Taiwan, at least Biden can come out and say: “This would not have happened on my watch”.
China could easily become the world’s most powerful country by literally just doing nothing and let the US crumble on its own. Instead its commander in chief wants to throw this once in a lifetime occasion away to satisfy his own ego.
The same thing is happening all over the world, where a country future gets OBVIOUSLY flushed down the toilet by a small bunch of greedy narcissist detached from reality.
Russia’s aggression on ukraine started as the same kind of military excercise.
China bro just chill for a minute. World has enough going on.
Not sure anyone is really worried about China being whiny about not owning Taiwan
China has literally everything they could want right now. They are finding ground in the video game market, broke a new movie with box office highs and have the markets lining up for them with Trumps tariff bullshit.
Yet they still to choose to piss it away on this war.
I miss the pandemic.
US defense of Taiwan is rock solid. More weapons sales and US assets will be in region permanently
I’m in Japan right now and I’d be lying if I said this didn’t make me a little nervous
If there was ever any chance a Chinese invasion of Taiwan could still be prevented Trump has destroyed that. Fucking hell we really might escalate this all the way up to another world war, won’t we?
