Breaking: China Dispatches Warships, ASW Aircraft and Fighter Jets off Coast of Taiwan Following Fall of Afghanistan #BidenEffect

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) on Tuesday launched joint live-fire assault drills in multiple locations off the coast of Taiwan.

This is just what Jack Posobiec and The War Room said would happen next.

China is emboldened with US weakness in the region, the historic collapse of Afghanistan, and the frail puppet installed in Washington DC.

On Monday Steve Bannon warned that the US economy will implode if Taiwan falls to the Communist Chinese. According to Bannon he entire American economy centers around the chips, and in particular, the advanced chips designed, made, and manufactured in Taiwan.

The Global Times reported:

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) on Tuesday launched joint live-fire assault drills in multiple locations near the island of Taiwan in response to recent collusion and provocations by the US and Taiwan secessionists.

The PLA Eastern Theater Command on Tuesday dispatched warships, anti-submarine warfare aircraft and fighter jets in surrounding maritime and aerial areas near the southwest and southeast of the island of Taiwan for military exercises including joint live-fire assaults, and also for testing the command troops’ integrated joint operation capabilities, Senior Colonel Shi Yi, spokesperson of the command, announced on the same day.

Recently, the US and Taiwan authorities have been frequently colluding and making provocations, sending wrong signals that severely violates China’s sovereignty and seriously damage peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits. They have become the biggest source of security risk in the region, Shi said.

The exercises are a necessary action taken based on the current security situation in the Taiwan Straits and the need to safeguard national sovereignty, and are a solemn response to the foreign interferences and the provocations by “Taiwan independence” forces, the spokesperson said.

Seems like I remember the Q crowd forcasting a “China CCP STING op” where the US ends up flipping the tables on China’s attempt to take Taiwan, and instead invades mainland China along with Taiwan forces to defeat the CCP.

This WAS some time ago... at least 2-3 goal posts back...

But wouldn’t that be the ultimate end to the Q cult if Taiwan falls next?

Or was the August NON- re-instatement of Trump the last straw?

I keep seeing “Trump is still president” videos... but with comments disabled so I can’t ask “wouldn’t that make everything happening now Trump’s fault?”

Why would China want Taiwan?

Because their grandpas are still mad?

They’re also mad about the music being too loud.

“All those ChiCom People’s Liberation Army troops staged at the US border with Canada...”

And in Latin America.

You know how many L.A. shipping ports China now controls? How about the Panama Canal?

AND...they just had a demonstration of our capabilities and resolve in Afghanistan.

Why would they stop at Taiwan?

They all have tickets to cushy bunkers.

They will survive just fine while we surface dwellers perish.

Why should they care?

“We will not do anything in response.”

My bigger fear is that Xiden will need to show he is a manly man, at least as strong as Trump, and will do something really stupid.

> Why would China want Taiwan? <

It’s simply a matter of prestige. As an analogy, suppose the British were able to hold on to, say, Florida after the Revolutionary War ended.

Eventually some American president would say, “Well, it’s time to bring Florida into the fold.”

Joe Biden is probably crapping his pants right about now...

...on the other hand, that is probably a normal daily occurrence.

Give china New York City in exchange for peace

That strategy worked so well for the Romans when they gave the Visigoths and Vandals land in exchange for peace.

China knows that they have Biden over a barrel.

Plus, they have a lot of material pertaining to the crooked deals that Biden and son (and Obama) made in China. Blackmail is suddenly a real situation that Biden and America have to deal with.

And, btw, those drills off the coast of Taiwan... they are probably being called drills by China... but can turn into the real thing at any moment. Disguising a real attack/takeover as a drill is a real prospect. The U.S. can be caught with its pants down, just like in Afghanistan.
