China is escalating its threats against Taiwan, announcing a new round of military drills expected to continue until at least mid-August.

Concerns are rising that China’s increasing aggression toward Taiwan could lead to an invasion. Taiwan’s leader says that while the threat has existed for decades, it is fortifying its defences.

It comes after China suspended dialogue with the U.S. on a range of critical issues, following a recent visit to Taiwan by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Jennifer Johnson has more on the rising tensions on the Taiwan strait and the growing uncertainty in China-U.S. relations.

Why can’t they do these drills on their own people? They already did it once in Tienanmen. Besides fish lives matter

well-done CCPchina. China’s banking-crisis victims promised money, but outcry as ‘it doesn’t solve underlying problem’

1) In 1894, Japan invaded China and Korea, the Qing gov was defeated and signed the [Treaty of Shimonoseki] to cede Taiwan Island to Japan.
2) During the WW2, at the Cairo Conference held in 1943, China asked the transfer of Taiwan's sovereignty back to China after the war. This content was included in the [Cairo Declaration] and later reiterated in the [Potsdam Proclamation] that it should be implemented.
3) On 14 Aug 1945, the Emperor Showa of Japan issued the [End War Edict], Japan surrendered unconditionally and accepted the [Potsdam Proclamation]. The Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, Marshal MacArthur ordered the Japanese troops in Taiwan to surrender to KMT General Chiang Kai Shek. Taiwan re-entered the territory of the Republic Of China (ROC).
4) Soon after that China civil war broke out between KMT and CCP, the KMT was defeated and fled to Taiwan. However, due to US intervention, the CCP without a strong navy at that time has no ability to unify Taiwan. The CCP then established the People's Republic of China (PRC) on 1949. The civil war continues...
5) In 1971, UN Resolution No. 2758 ruled that the PRC had obtained the representation rights and all legal rights originally owned by the ROC in the UN. That means the PRC is China’s only legal gov under international law, and today the PRC also become China’s only legal gov recognized by 180 countries around the world, including the USA.
"The USA recognizes the Government of the PRC as the sole legal Government of China. Within this context, the people of the USA will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan."
Joint Cummunique on the Establishment of Diplomatic relations between the PRC and the USA (December 16 1978)
6) Therefore, according to international law, international reality, and the wishes of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, Taiwan should return to PRC and the PRC have every rights to protect it's sovereign integrity.

While China is threatening Taiwan with its military exercises it is also demonstrating it's military capabilities for all other countries to evaluate.

Leave Taiwanese people alone. They have to decide if being under China's control they will have a better life or not. They should decide what is right for people. What is important is for them to be free and happy

China just like Russia see the Americans closing in on theiR borders. I don’t blame them for being defensive against a imperialist America. Funny how this stuff didn’t happen with trump in office. Maybe cause he was more concerned about what happens within his own borders.

Who do you think acts more like a bully in the international stage:
Americans or Chinese?

Chinese haven't fought in a war for over 50 years. How many wars are the Americans still fighting?
