Taiwan starts military drills to test combat readiness as the island's Foreign Minister warns of invasion preparations from China

China has used military drills it launched in protest against US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit as a game plan to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan, the island's Foreign Minister says.

It comes in response to ongoing Chinese exercises that have included launching missiles into waters off the island of 23 million people.He said Taiwan would not be intimidated even as the drills continued with China often breaching the unofficial median line down the Taiwan Strait. "It is conducting large-scale military exercises and missile launches, as well as cyberattacks, disinformation, and economic coercion, in an attempt to weaken public morale in Taiwan.

"After the drills conclude, China may try to routinise its action in an attempt to wreck the long-term status quo across the Taiwan Strait."

Dutton is a war criminal of the highest order.

State media is pumping out China threat stories while Indonesia and China have dropped US dollar trade between the two. Australia has become a hotpot of simmering hatred thousands of miles away and failing to make any friends in the region.

The hostile rhetoric from Australia might not distract from the fact the DFAT agrees with the One China policy, but this is about ramping up anti-Chinese sentiment that is already at a high.

. Two minutes of hate by ABC Say his name 'CHINA' 'EVIL' .

China is only going to turn around and say it's an act of aggression and use that as the excuse why they should attack.

This is the most realistic possibility . Amazing Cowardice of JoeBiden POTUS and other world leaders .

Remember ABC's subtitle Some provocations are necessary... isn't? That is exactly what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip was 'provocative, irresponsible, and raise the risk of miscalculation'

Putin has failed so Xi should consider giving up and leaving Taiwan alone.

Time to show the Chinese GOV how the rest of the world can live independently without China? It will be a few hard years, but we'll get over it. Time to put an end to this once and for all, and move on!

Another Ukraine.

Free and Independent state of Taiwan!!!!!!!!!!!

Btw - Taiwan has never, ever been part of China.
