Chen said the exercise was intended as a show of Taiwan’s determination to maintain peace between the sides through a show of force.The drills are also meant to reassure the public the military is maintaining its guard ahead of next month’s Lunar New Year festival, when many troops take leave. Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen has sought to bolster the island’s defences with the purchase of billions of dollars in weapons from key ally the U.S., including upgraded F-16 fighter jets, armed drones, rocket systems and Harpoon missiles capable of hitting both ships and land targets. She has also boosted support for the island’s indigenous arms industry, including launching a program to build new submarines to counter China’s ever-growing naval capabilities.
Along with world’s largest standing military, numbering around 2 million members, China has the largest navy, with approximately 350 vessels, including two aircraft carriers and about 56 submarines. It also possesses around 2,000 combat fighters and bombers and 1,250 ground-launched ballistic missiles, considered a key strategic and psychological weapon against Taiwan.
hahahahahaha ....
I assume that this is something that they regularly practice.
Fuck China. China needs to compensate the rest of the world for exporting covid to the rest of the world.
As they should. Stay free Taiwan 🇹🇼
When and how to unify the country will be decided solely by the people of China, including the true patriots living in the province of Taiwan. The self claimed and illegal government of Taiwan is not even recognized by Canada.
CCP is a threat to world peace and freedom!
I’d be more surprised if that wasn’t happening already. I mean no disrespect, but I highly doubt Taiwan faces any military threat apart from China.
What are the countries of the 'free world' doing to assist Taiwan? Is that even a thing anymore?

China toughens its language toward Taiwan, warns independence ‘means war’Taiwan reported multiple Chinese fighter jets and bombers entering its southwestern air defence identification zone last weekend, prompting the U.S. to urge Beijing to stop pressuring Taiwan It is governed and required by China's domestic laws, including Anti-secession Law. Taiwan is not recognized by Canada. What an irresponsible statement to make in 2021. War is surely not a solution but would only bring death and destruction to participants. China can't invaded Taiwan. It would start a 3rd world war, and on top of that, their navy is a joke compared to the US.
