TAIPEI, Taiwan—The Chinese communist regime is accelerating its plans to invade Taiwan, an expert warns, as Beijing ratchets up military maneuvers against the island.
Twenty Chinese military aircraft—including four nuclear-capable H-6K bombers, 10 J-16 fighter jets, two Y-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft, and a KJ-500 airborne early warning and control aircraft—entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on March 26, according to Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense. It was the largest incursion ever reported by the ministry.(Snip)Beijing’s incursions are part of a series of dry runs in preparation for an invasion of Taiwan, John Mills, the former director of cybersecurity policy, strategy, and international affairs at the Office of

This article must be read. So much detail, and Mills does not agree with the longer estimate laid out by the Navy in a March hearing. Here is a gem:
Soong Hseik-wen, a professor at the Institute of Strategic and International Affairs (ISIA) of Taiwan’s National Chung Cheng University (NCCU), told The Epoch Times that the Chinese regime was making a statement with its incursion on March 26, in response to actions by the U.S. government in March.
These events included President Joe Biden’s first summit with Quad leaders from Australia, India, and Japan; the meeting in Tokyo between Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin, and their Japanese counterparts; and the Sino-U.S. talks in Anchorage, Alaska, according to Soong.
So much for the effectiveness of Biden diplomacy.
All of this is part of the century-long plan (yes, the Chinese think in centuries) laid out by Dr. Michael Pillsbury, a real China expert, in his The One-Hundred Year Marathon: China's Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower. The deadline for the Marathon is 2049. The Chinese may be well ahead of schedule.

I am sure our 'commander in thief' knows all about it but has been told to return to his basement to get another 7 hour nap, the checks are in the mail and on their way!

The US cannot be the only power willing to stop the Chi-Coms. Japan, S. Korea, the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand should also have a vested interest. Red China will eventually be on all of their doorsteps.

When the 3AM call comes, Biden will be in a basement in Delaware. Nobody's home in DC.
Besides that, China has their hooks in Biden, and probably others as well. This is what happens when you have weak corrupt incompetent leadership.

China's not invading Taiwan any time soon. More international theatre. Better chance of NoKors nuking Anchorage.

I am not sure ANY pol of either party or even more importantly, the American people, have EVER had the stomach to actually die for Taiwan's freedom. But without any push back at all the ChiComs have become convinced that an invasion will result in only half-hearted temporary trade penalties which they will survive just fine, thank you. They clearly have recognized our weakness of will.

Don't understand the situation. The world's best motherboards for computers all have their corporate headquarters in Taiwan. But their manufacturing plants are located in China.

Re#5. Your assuming that the US will do anything to stop it. The invasion will be over before we can get a fleet into place. That's assuming that the treasoncrats don't resort to days, weeks, months of useless "diplomacy".
I doubt that our government wants to risk a war with our "supplier" over one island.

India is nuclear capable. Japan needs to be armed with nuclear weapons. That would give China pause given the history between the two nations.

The invasion of Taiwan will occur at 1PM their time because it will be 1AM in DC and Bi-den and Heels Up will have their ambien onboard. By 8PM Taiwan time it will all be over just like the practice run in Myanmar, very quick and brutal. Democrats love war because it is their primary source of income but because if well known treaties even the Rats will not rusk nuclear war. Next invasion: Seattle, June 2022.

Perfect timing. Hit Taiwan while Joe is busy calling Putin names and Kamala is ignoring her first job and just waiting for Joe to expire. I wonder if they will be able to tell when Joe is really dead? The White House must be a fun place these days.

General of the Army Douglas MacArthur - Warning of American Communism from within July 25, 1951, - May 15, 1952.
"Our threat is from the insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions," stated General Douglas MacArthur in Lansing, Michigan, May 15, 1952
General Douglas MacArthur addressed Massachusetts State Legislature in Boston, July 25, 1951:
"I have seen since my return to my native land after an absence of many years our material progress has been little short of phenomenal.
It is not of any external threat that I concern myself but rather of insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions, these institutions which formerly we hailed as something beyond question of challenge, those institutions we proudly called the American way of life.
Foremost of these forces is that directly, or even more frequently indirectly, allied with the scourge of imperialistic Communism.
It has infiltrated into positions of public trust and responsibility, into journalism, the press, the radio and the school.
It seeks through covert manipulation of the civil power and the media of public information and education to pervert the truth, impair respect for moral values, suppress human freedom and representative government, and in the end destroy our faith in our religious teachings.
This evil force, with neither spiritual base nor moral standard, rallies the abnormal and subnormal elements among our citizenry and applies internal pressure against all things we hold descent and all things that we hold right the type of pressure which has caused many Christian nations abroad to fall and their own cherished freedoms to languish in the shackles of complete suppression.
As it has happened there it can happen here. Our need for patriotic fervor and religious devotion was never more impelling.
There can be no compromise with atheistic Communism, no half way in the preservation of freedom and religion. It must be all or nothing."
MacArthur warned in his Farewell Address to Congress, April 19. 1951:
"The Communist threat is a global one Under no circumstances must
Formosa (Taiwan) fall under Communist control.
"Our threat is from the insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions," stated General Douglas MacArthur in Lansing, Michigan, May 15, 1952.

I think Japan and Taiwan need to have a joint nuclear weapons development program, and look into getting some nice medium range ballistic missiles to deliver them.
I think that they could get Yuzhnoye to build them......if Putin doesn't take over Ukraine first.
