Chinese state media videos and a map of live-fire exercises around Taiwan have displayed Beijing’s strategy to impose an aerial and maritime blockade on the island. Here’s how China could threaten both Taiwan and global trade in case of a military conflict.

according to an unspecified source and transmission for an unspecified amount according to a Chinese agent if Mao was living he would now be serving China and say now China sovereignty has been violated very badly and it should be defended now not in the future to prevent america from attacking their west side, if the Mao army could not take China taiwan then it should not be China. China must move to keep taiwan from been a break away and a base for America's military so close to China drawn step to fill Xi Jinping you should know is to fill China and Mao's purpose end of transmission, america cannot defend two war fronts with out weakening Russia keep fighting
For short term China going to choke on it's commercial and industrial and economic. This in turn will put pressure on it people and hence to the Taiwan goverment. If that still don't work than its the inevitable of a war.
ok cool now send McConell there next time. Getting him shot down and an excuse to nuke the dam is a win win anyways.
China just wanna have fun 🎶
Taiwan ,belongs to China , welcome back ! , hope no war .. but if US support Taiwan , prperly the war cannt avoid ,,,, hate US ,,, recent 70 years after second war , almost every war have US hand at the behind !
China is world control power
China wants to economically block Taiwan before the actual war.
Reveals a hissy fit.
CCP told their citizens that Taiwan considers itself part of China..and said any USA USA Gov visits would mean war..
And now they have been proven wolf warriors.
Literally allowed ..no…ENCOURAGED nation wide celebration and sales after the death of Shinzo Abe..
Teaching their kids that modern day Japanese people are responsible for ww2 actions..and are not human..and should not live.
Same with USA and the west…they have pushed propaganda for revenge for the opium war (fentanyl smuggling to cartels imo) and tell their citizens that the west is out to get China and that we hate asians.
In reality…tons of asians fill USA universities..That it is the CCP that has infiltrated USA and other worldwide colleges..pushing their propaganda as fact AND ALSO shutting down any "no no topics." Like the Tiananmen square massacre…or how more died to Mao than to the Japanese =/..
Students LITERALLY getting phone calls from their parents in China…WITH THEIR PARENTS AT A POLICE STATION..threatening the kids.
To the points of violence @
Def check out "the China show." "Laowhy86," "Serpentza," channels on YouTube…
Plus the "Australian anti CCP protester." What is his name? Drew?
Had been pushed out of school..threatened and assaulted for having free speech in Australia =/
Taiwan should have prepared its civilians YEARS ago, by adopting a "SWISS style" defense of its territory! As well as their own NUKES! Now, the world teeters on WWIII.
China is all tough talk until rockets begin to fall on Chinese cities………
How can China send ships so close to Japan in the east of Taiwan. A crisis in Taiwan is a crisis in Japan, and a crisis to the world, irregardless of free or non-free states. I hope the international community with Japan does all it can to help this democracy stand strong and free.
war is not the answer
请不要小看了中国的决心
Why doesn't't the WSJ mention that the ROC claims sovereignty of mainland China? This is enshrined in the ROC constitution, and the territorial claims are greater than made by the PRC. Is WSJ research so shoddy, or are you just producing propaganda here. It should be noted the USA & other countries already conduct military exercses in East Asia, China is welcome to do so too.
Origins of Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan
James W. Pfister

The foolish trip of Nancy Pelosi, our speaker of the House of Representatives, to Taiwan recently has raised again the dangerousness of our relationship with the People's Republic of China (herein PRC), a growing nuclear and world power in Asia. My purpose here is to provide a historical description of events that lay at the foundation of the PRC’s right to sovereignty over Taiwan.
Han Chinese started visiting Taiwan during the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368 A.D.). The first written account of a visit was 1349. By the 16th century, the early European explorers, the Portuguese, had entered the region and named Taiwan Ilha Formosa (“beautiful island”). Also, by the 16th century, more Chinese had come to the island, about 100 miles off the Chinese coast.
By the 17th century, the Dutch had entered the scene. At first, they were driven away by the Ming, but eventually built Fort Zeelandia, on the southwest coast of the island. In 1626, the Spanish built a settlement on the northeast coast. In 1642, the Dutch defeated the Spanish and drove them out.
In 1664, the Ming dynasty was defeated by the Manchu forces. Koxinga was a Ming loyalist. In 1662, after a nine-month siege, Koxinga captured the Dutch fortress Zeelandia. Taiwan then became his base. The Qing (Manchu) dynasty (1644-1911) defeated Koxinga’s progeny in 1683. They ruled part of the island as Taiwan Prefecture. In 1875, the island was divided into two prefectures (north and south). In 1887, Taiwan became the Fokien-Taiwan Province of China. (The above brief history is from Wikipedia, July 30, 2022).
Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, 45% of Taiwan was governed by the Qing, while the remainder was “lightly populated” by Aborigines, a barbaric people. In a population of 2.5 million, 2.3 million were Han Chinese, the remainder were members of various indigenous tribes. (Ibid.).
Japan had aggressive motivations toward Taiwan. China lost the Sino-Japanese War. As a result, the Qing transferred sovereignty of Taiwan and Penghi to Japan on April 17, 1895, pursuant to the Treaty of Shimonoseki.
The return of Taiwan to China was a main goal of the Chinese during World War II. The Cairo Declaration issued by China, the United States, and Great Britain on Dec. 1, 1943, stated in part: “…that all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa (Taiwan) and the Pescadores (Penghu), shall be restored to China.”
The Potsdam Proclamation signed by China, the United States and Great Britain on July 26, 1945, (subsequently adhered to by the Soviet Union) reiterated: “The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out.”
On Aug. 15, 1945, Japan surrendered. The instrument of surrender stated: "Japan hereby accepts the provisions in the declaration issued by the heads of the Governments of the United States, China and Great Britain on July 26, 1945, at Potsdam, and subsequently adhered to by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.”
On Oct. 25, 1945, the officer accepting the Japanese surrender in Taiwan on behalf of the Chinese government proclaimed that from this day forward Taiwan and Penghui are part of Chinese sovereignty. (Much of the above is from Taiwan History, Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Republic of Latvia, Aug. 5, 2008).
On Oct. 1, 1949, the PRC became the successor government of China. Therefore, the PRC claims sovereignty over all of the Chinese territories, including Taiwan. On Oct. 25, 1971, the United Nations seated the PRC as the government of China, and removed the Republic of China. President Richard Nixon reacted: “This went much further than we had expected: We had thought that our greatest problem would be in convincing Taiwan to stay after the P.R.C. had been granted equal status.” ("RN, The Memoirs of Richard Nixon," 1978). We would recognize the PRC as the sole government of China during the Carter Administration on Jan. 1, 1979.
What is the problem now? Why do we seem to be on the edge of a clash with the PRC? What has the United States done since World War II to interfere with and undermine the PRC’s sovereignty over Taiwan? Next time.

Regardless China will conduct practices near Taiwan regularly to coordinate better in the future.
Fake news
US: We'll fight against Russia to the last Ukrainian, and fight against China to the last Taiwanese.
China military getting better
Well done China Superpower.💪💪👍👍👏👏❤❤💯💯
If Trump was in this would not be happening
That makes it a lot easier for US forces to destroy the Chinese military in case of war.
Lol let’s give all of our military strategies away. Lolol.
Don't worry everyone, china is safe and not racist. Here is the proof

Super Garuda Shield… Exercise Pacific Angel… ASEAN high alert…✌️😊✌️🇻🇳🇲🇲🇱🇦🇰🇭🇹🇭🇸🇬🇵🇭🇧🇳🇲🇾🇮🇩
If China can't surround Taiwan what is everybody's so worried about them invading anywhere? The crazy thing is that American News sources basically saying that is saying that Russia and China have a weak military.. There's no possible way that the other 2 super powers of the world are that weak.. That's obviously propaganda
Taiwan should have applied to enter Nato years ago.
What how close are we to preventing this China blockade from never happening or being successful it will take weeks just to get in place time that China if the USA is not China will be digging in USA won't be of much help having to get there I don't think the US military is ready for this yet I think China knows and they want to know what the long-term CONSEQUENCES China does this then what?thinking every is OK in this world they CRAZY if they think so
@`Cant address disc situation normally because of replica inn ethical issues ⚠️/but Government should show their deficits due direct destruction of agricultural infrastructure™[{01758^°st.lucia/souverin™
It seen to be their target is an aircraft carrier, so they launch missiles from the mainland to the sea, testing the fire range
I just wonder if there a war between US and Russia, will the financial system still exist if several missiles destroyed Wall Street
If China thinks its gonna cut the US off from doing buisness with Taiwan or vise versa they got another thing coming.
One thing it shows is that China will use supposed "war games" to encroach on Taiwanese territory as the immediate prelude to an invasion. A few warships will wander into Taiwan's territorial waters and some fighters will cross previously agreed boundaries right before the invasion begins. Taiwan will have become used to the incursions and their guard will be down. They aren't going to tip their hand by having a hundred war ships cross the South China Sea. They'll try to bomb Taiwan into a quick submission.
FCCP
America is stirring up trouble all over the world, first Ukraine and now Taiwan
US would never abandon taiwan because of the semiconductor company
Praying for the world.This is government stuff not about the people.
How come Chinese so smart not falling USA's political trap by initiating a war with taiwan immediately like Russia with ukraine….so that USA benefit more from another war…
Today's Ukraine is Tmr's Taiwan……Taiwan should be smarter….to avoid being changed of leadership.
THE WORLD'S NAVY'S NEED BETWEEN THE – – – –-_
China shall take and absorb Taiwan without anyone ever firing a shot
If anyone believes the "status quo" is working (between PRC and ROC), then please look at Hong Kong.
OR
Taiwan Strait Crisis in 1996, simply because they have chosen Democracy over Autocracy.
Why do you show a Eurofighter taking off in the beginning of the video?
