China began three days of military drills around Taiwan in what the People’s Liberation Army called a 'stern warning' after Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen visited the U.S. and met with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

China had sent several warships and 71 planes near Taiwan, Taiwan's Defense Ministry said as of Saturday afternoon local time. At least 45 planes had crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait.ahead of Tsai's trip to the Americas, which included stops in New York and California, where she met with McCarthy on Wednesday.

The White House had attempted to tamp down the tensions by noting that Tsai's recent predecessors had transited through the U.S. and that Tsai herself has been to the U.S. six times before her latest trip without much incident.

It’s not hard to imagine why 23 million Taiwanese want nothing to do with CCP.

Are we sure these are drills and not the start of a potential blockade?

Will the GOP call for “a compromise” that entails Taiwan handing over some land?

The 'stern warnings' of totalitarian states have lost quite a lot of their bite since they are issued ten or fifteen times a day, and also in light of the ineptitude of the Russian military. If that's the best dictators have, democracies needn't worry too much.

Yawn. China won't do shit. Pelosi went to Taiwan and nothing happened. Nobody wants to fuck with the country that spends most of it's money on their military and let's nearly 20% of it's entire population be homeless.

Are they drills or the beginning of a potential blockade?

Speaker McCarthy: Meeting with Taiwan’s president ‘shouldn’t by any means’ escalate China tensionsIn an interview with Andrea Mitchell following his meeting with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) underscores the importance of “a united front” in Congress in supporting Taiwan against aggression from China, saying the U.S. should “speed up arms sales to Taiwan, foster greater economy, with technology, medicines and others, and foster that bond for democracy and freedom.” Does he worry his meeting could escalate tensions with China? “No, it shouldn’t by any means,” says McCarthy. 现在整个人类文明发展秩序的竞争是以政治生态的优势力量进行竞争。最先进的政治生态的力量在不断的突破传统的国家的政治形态。整个西方文明在推动这种力量迅速的发展。 Get that god damn ghoul Andrea Mitchell off MSNBC No one cares what this liar and traitor has to say about anything.
