Pelosi: China Announces 4 Days Of Military Drills Encircling Taiwan by HonNL: 5:23pm On Aug 02, 2022
China declared it would conduct missile tests and military drills around Taiwan shortly after US House speaker Nancy Pelosi defied Beijing on Tuesday by landing on the island.

The People’s Liberation Army said it would stage a series of military drills including “long-range live firing in the Taiwan Strait” from Tuesday evening.

This action is targeted at the US’s shocking recent major escalation on the Taiwan issue, and serves as a serious warning to Taiwanese independence forces or those seeking independence,” Shi Yi, a spokesperson for the Eastern Theater Command, said in a statement.

Separately, the official Xinhua News Agency announced military drills would take place from Aug. 4-7 in six areas that encircle Taiwan, giving coordinates for the exercises. “For safety reasons, relevant ships and aircraft should not enter the above sea areas and airspaces during this period,” Xinhua added.

Pelosi became the highest-ranking American politician to visit the island in 25 years when her military aircraft arrived at Songshan Airport at 10:43 p.m. local time. China considers Taiwan part of its territory and protests diplomatic visits to the island.

The Chinese drills will begin the day after Pelosi is scheduled to leave Taiwan, but she’ll still be in the region visiting US allies South Korea and Japan.

China might invade Taiwan

The US cannot go about with this idea of toying with the egos of the other world powers especially Russia and China.

Why all these show of force undecided undecided
This is how Russia were busy making noise up and down, today where is Russia. They can't even crush small Ukraine.
I have always told people that winning a war is not basically by manpower and arms.
You can only win wars when your strategies are superb coupled with your intelligence too.
That is y no nation on earth can dessimate Israel no matter how small they are. They can wipe u even if it will take them years, u can ask Iraq, Afghanistan, and others.
Let's always pray for a war free world. Wat is never an option.
