Shi Yi, spokesperson for the Eastern Theater Command, said the drills will focus on “training in sea-and-air combat readiness patrols, seizing comprehensive control” and “blockade and control of key ports and critical areas.”

Gbam!

Taken straight from the playbook of Trump and America for Palestine, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and lately Netherland (Netherland is about to have Trump forcefully snatch Greenland from them with an unprecedented coded military build and appointment of a de facto Trump-appointed Governor for Greenland, a part of Netherland with citizens who prefer to be Netherland citizens).

Welcome to the world view of Donald Trump where might is right. China has literally sucked life out of little Taiwan.

Saudi Arabia and UAE i are currently doing same to the parts of Yemen that's not under the Houthis Yemeni Federal Government.

This is the most dangerous time to come from a country that is not influential in world politics , diplomacy, huge land mass & population and economic, military strategic importance.
With all these your grammar...where then is Qatar not mobilizing worldwide protests against Saudi and UAE and Iran for using YEMEN as battle ground......just as Qatar did against Israel

The Chinese want a war, let's see how generous U.S will be in protecting Taiwan. But is it by force? The Islands around east asia like Thailand, Hong-Kong, and Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, have been operating like independent territories for years with independent policies. Back then in secondary school, I thought these territories where independent countries. Why is China so against their independence?
And you don't know that, Taiwan was part of China? And that China is not against independence of others you mentioned?

Yes China have population, but still, China cannot match Japanese technology. The next super war won't be about human population but technology war.


You need to hear about some never heard before military technologies that Japan recently developed albeit silently.


Taiwan remains a sovereign nation, stop harassing them, focus on Chinese Mainland, it is more than enough, the time for land grabbing with force in the world has passed.
America saved china from Japan during Japan invasion of China...but no more
China better think twice before allowing all her economic wealth disappear overnight.....china should just focus on continuing building her wealth and world dominance

You are completely ignorant of the matter. In fact, it's completely obscene to bring in religion into this.

Taiwan has always been part of China like Hong Kong just like Ukraine and Russia were part of USSR but the US and west want to keep destroying countries like they did to Libya, Iraq and did to pre-1948 Palestine that today has made Europeans cleans Palestine of Palestinians and stolen their lands.

South Africa would have suffered same fate but for support from Nigeria and the rest of Africa.
You continue refer to stolen Palestinians land..who planted Palestinians in the land..was it not Romans just to humulate Israel
.or the name west bank sounds like Arab language to you
The European planted Palestinians in Israeli heritage....its only fair then that the same European removed them according to you
Re: China Announces Major Military Drills Around Taiwan by Osanoghodua1: 7:06am On Dec 29, 2025
If China attacks Taiwan,

Japan, South Korea, Philippines and other Asia that China is hostile to will join forces with weapons supplied by the USA and Nuke China from Taiwanese soil. China will be bleeding real good. But may emerge stronger.

Internally, they are divided. A lot going on in the military that war will only expose.

Relationship with long stand allies at an all time low. The VP and President have publicly been throwing jibes at NATO

Putin effect- Trump will alway listen to Putin.

Economically, they can’t afford it. They are piling debt on a monthly basis now. Debt already surpassed GDP. Consumer debt now on steroids.

Public Opinion- Both sides do not want new wars.
There is a condition of this war you don't know. About 90% of debt the US owed has China as the creditor. Any war with China cancels that debt. That is what US is hoping to do and that is what China is avoiding.

That’s was when all was normal!

As it stands today, they are at their most vulnerable moments.

Trumps rating is tanking faster than the Naira, if China strikes today and he includes war, his party definitely losing the midterms and his impeachment becomes 100% guaranteed.

The best time for China to strike is now. If they miss Taiwan now, they can NEVER get it back.

I don't think you know anything about international politics or geography.


Taiwan is an independent nation. China has been the one forcing unification on them and Hong Kong, just as Russia under Putin is forcing unification on former USSR countries like Ukraine, Belarus, etc.


You don't force unity.


United Kingdom and Ireland were once together but the union became so toxic they had to let Ireland go while maintaining partial unification with others like Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England the troublemakers.



Unity is not forced, it ought to be natural


The era of Land grabbing using war is over, China and Russia should realize this and quit all these their war mongering and allow the world have peace
It's plain waste of time trying to enlighten you on what you are clearly ignorant about and not willing to learn.

Little wonder you dragged in religion into it. I am sure that if Hong Kong had not been repossessed by China, you will be in this same ignorant state about the true owners of Hong Kong. Smh.

They are same people. Why can't Taiwan and Hong Kong also gain indepence? These nations have their own flag, their own currency. and Have developed over the years as independent territories. how can they be forced to be part of China now? Because they are economically viable?
Re: China Announces Major Military Drills Around Taiwan by blackmantis: 7:50am On Dec 29, 2025
The Taiwan people should be very wary of American support. They should look at Ukraine today. A negotiated arrangement will be better.
Reuniting with China is not a bad idea. China is miles ahead of the west in several areas.

Truly power is transient. About 100 years ago, Taiwan held power as Republic of China, the seat of power of Chinese elites. Until peasants and workers revolted leading to seizing power and forming of People Republic of China which chased the elites to into Taiwan island.
Now. none of those countries can face China.

1. Russian isn't doomed...in short Russian economy and military power rose twice
2. Japan is weak as of today! Not war tested and too much reliance on USA,just like EU is weakened

very little difference between you and writerng, Naptu2 and some few others who writes with emotions and little sense while at same time courting attention with feverish desperation.

China has been threatening Taiwan for decades and has been conducting drills when you were still a suckler and when Trump was ñot on the world political scene.

The middle east has always been volatile with Saudi Arabia begging for arms to defend itself perpetually until recently.

China and Russia have interest in Greenland while much of EU has been reduced to bureaucratic bullies , propaganda (of which you're a victim) and promotion of gay and suppression of free speech, while leaving their military to rot and shamelessly depending on the US to liberate them from Russia and soon China.

Ignorance of an African who is viewing the world from the lens of leftist propaganda.

That makes you an ideological victim.

They are not the same people. They are as different as night and day. Different culture and languages in all cases.

The Taiwan and Hong Kong issue resulted from wars that separated them from the Chinese mainland. In the case of Hong Kong, it was seized by the British but later returned to china.

Taiwan for its own part, was ruled by the losing side of the Chinese civil war until quite recently. They are also Chinese.

Lolz... Same way Israel looked so divided till Hamas struck them in October 7, followed by Hezbollah. Same way Europe looked so disjointed till Russia struck Ukraine and 2 more countries even joined NATO after, Finland and Sweden. Same way Russia thought Germany was an ally in the beginning of world war 2. One never knows eventualities after you start a fire thinking it must go your way... Kwantinue!!
