China launches largest-ever military exercises around Taiwan

In a show of retaliation to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan on Tuesday (Aug 2), China has kicked off its largest-ever military exercises in multiple zones encircling the island on Thursday noon. The exercises involve "training activities including live-fire drills" and will conclude at midday on Sunday.

China said "those who play with fire would get burned". Why politicians must take it as a light joke and start crying when pre-action just started.

Do you think leaders have any quality if they absolutely unable to foresee an obvious situation?

If someone tells you not to do something dangerous for your life. Not to challenge Mike Tyson for a fight as you would probably stay in hospital permanently. Why is it difficult to understand? If country leaders cannot understand this, do they deserve to be leaders?

Two more years before Tsai Ingwen's term ends.
Take the pain, patriots.

A few US naval vessels will defend T W by staying out of range.

China please, you can't afford this war.

Just a very simple "COMMON SENSE", If I were the Taiwanese, I will face through a mirror and have my blood's DNA test. If I do look like the Americans and if my Bloodlines of my ancestors are Americans, then My sympathy and patriotism would be on the interests of the US, but if in contrast I do look like the Chinese and my Blood runs my Chinese ancestors then I must be a subject as a Chinese and must Honor China's History, Dignity, Integrity and National Sovereignty. Besides, many Taiwanese consider Taiwan as a province of their Motherland-Mainland China.

The people living in the capital city were ordered to stay indoors during her visit.

Her meeting with Mark liu indicated that the visit has more to do with the chips.

[minhtransg]

The Taiwan and US Navies are watching and recording these Chinese military exercises with great appreciation and joy.

if UN speaks on behalf of the world countries. why US and its allies are NOT in line with the UN

[cklee]

Actually the US has provided China the opportunity to test out the effectiveness and the practicality of a military attack if the needs arises.
Many say China is a paper tiger ...but the truth China is practising Tai Chi in this conflict with US and a way to test the weakness of Taiwan.
More sanctions and difficulties will be impose on Taiwan and we will then see how resilience Taiwan can become ...the economic implications go further and we will see how US is going to manage its inflation and social problems...while just highlighting that it is China which has problems...not US ..still fine ...just very fine.
