China simulates ‘strikes on targets in Taiwan’ as drills continue

China’s military has staged “simulated joint precision strikes on key targets in Taiwan” during a second day of drills launched near the island in the wake of Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s brief visit to the United States.

The announcement on Sunday came as Taiwan’s defence ministry said it had detected multiple Chinese air force sorties and was monitoring Beijing’s missile forces.

*Taiwan🇹🇼 have maritime disputes with China.*

Taiwan "considers" itself independent? That's like saying Australia considers itself an independent country.

[JinStaffy]

China claiming Taiwan as part of its one China policy is one thing, but claiming the whole of South China Sea and developing man made islands in territories belonging to other countries is going too far.
Everyone has had enough of China's bullying and greediness

[ozziepride]

They are ready! These drills are to find the optimal initial assault and landing

America was hoping for Taiwan to look like Japan which is currently an American colony

This guy is a well-known DPP and especially Tsai Ing-wen's mouthpiece. I wonder if Al Jazeera will interview Netanyahu's mouthpiece for Isael-Palestinian issues.

The Yalta agreement and the Cairo agreement confirmed that after the victory of World War II, Taiwan and its affiliated islands returned to the Republic of China. This was confirmed by the four countries of China, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union. This has the effect of international law. According to the United Nations Resolution 2758, the United States recognizes Taiwan as part of China. According to the 92 Consensus between the two sides of the Strait, the Taiwan region and the mainland region belong to the Republic of China, and both sides of the Strait belong to one China. Denying these requires a referendum to change the current constitution of the Republic of China on the island of Taiwan, and change the name of the country to Taiwan instead of the Republic of China

They use it on middle east, Europe and now Asia.
From history record, they profit through others instability.
The “divide and conquer” strategy
This strategy is mostly attributed to the Anglo-Saxon(Uk U$ CAN AUS) diplomacy, they simply applied it most effectively through history.
"This strategy, and all other strategies that try to weaken others so we could overcome them, rule over them, is the strategy of our inherently egocentric, self-serving nature, that thrives on succeeding at the expense of others."

The country that claims to be the most peaceful in the world back at it again, spreading their peace.

Taiwan is a country. China can NOT have her.

[pauzamsiska]

Divide and conquer don't underestimate these words.

[happymelon]

Same as Ukraine, Most of Taiwan politicians carry U$ passport.
It is a single biggest national security issue, when the leader need to report to other country.

[bobbyvicente]

It is now unfolding the next Ukraine! Increase the spending on defense US love it! Goodluck.

The only reason why Taiwan was not invaded is because it is a Capitalist Democracy, if they were Communist they would already been invaded ot couped by USA

"If the Americans are determined to interfere, we will be determined to respond. We will prepare ourselves for the destruction of all of the cities east of Xian. Of course, the Americans will have to be prepared that hundreds of cities will be destroyed by the Chinese."
- Maj. Gen. Zhu Chenghu (2005) - how China will respond in a conflict over Taiwan

[TheTraveler]

Funny how Al Jazeera interviewed one pro independence Taiwanese guy and ignored the thousand protesting Tsai Ing Wens visit to the US in New York

[PauldeSilvaG]

America is not going to come to Taiwan's aid.

[motionattached]

One visit, cost of millions to drill, this is not cost-effective solution.

[bigorange]

Let’s just call up Japan 🇯🇵 they’ll handle this
