China’s Building Aggression Towards Taiwan

China appears to be making moves at capitalizing on the chaos in the US and preparing a possible strike on Taiwan according to Reuters. This comes as Australia has sent a flotilla to reinforce the two US Carrier Groups already in the region. China has begun live fire drills as a counter and warned civilian vessels to avoid the area. This apparently coincides with the air raid posters that mysteriously appeared in Beijing last week.

American Partisan has received unconfirmed reports of Amateur Radio operators from Taiwanese islands Dongsha and Kinmen stating that the exercises are underway and that they expect a strike “within 24 hours”. Again, this is unconfirmed but comes after the Taiwan government released a report stating that low intensity conflict in the straits where those islands are located is possible.

In light of the recent increase in military activities conducted near Taiwan by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China, it will be advisable for Taiwan to be on the alert for low-intensity conflict, which can start with very little warning, retired Air Force Deputy Commander Lt. Gen. Chang Yen-ting (張延廷) said at a security forum.

The hotspots for potential low-intensity armed conflict include the Dongsha Islands and Taiping Island in the South China Sea, and Wuqiu Island near Kinmen, which are all under Taiwan’s jurisdiction, Chang said.

One common characteristic of those islands is that they are “easy to attack but difficult to defend,” he said.

Such a move may very well be a trap- China has unveiled the DF-17 hypersonic missile, whose primary mission is anti-ship. Given the social consequences of Covid 19 coupled with the USS Bonhomme Richard incident, the Chinese may be looking to take a first shot across the bow or even eliminate the US force projection capability in the Pacific while fomenting a revolution on the US mainland.

    Taiwan has no value to the national security of the USA. When the government of this nation decides to defend it’s own borders (Mexico) from foreign invasion, then and only then, should we defend any foreign nation from aggression by other countries.

    Want to fight the ChiComs ? Arrest every surviving member of the 106th CONgress and Bill Clinton for their conspiratorial treason. Treason where they gave the Red Chinese Permanent Normal Trade Relations. In turn, surrendering this nation’s economy and sovereignty to the ChiComs and domestic enemies.

    THEN…..stop the container ships bringing ChiCom manufactured products into this once, great nation !

    The HAND OF GOD is giving the Chi-coms more than they can handle with triple floods on the Yangtze River and the pending collapse of the huge Three Gorges Dam. A HUGE part of China’s grain and pork farms have been devastated, which some experts say will lead to mass starvation and the forced migration of up to 500 MILLION starving Chinese. Also, Chairman Xi has his hands full fighting a coup against his regime. IMHO China will NOT risk WW III under its current dire situation.

    And meanwhile, the Three Gorges dam system might be on the verge of collapse, leading to an historic catastrophe for China.
    What a year!

      Yupper Matt.

      Jesse James has a great article posting tomorrow on this subject. The recent flooding which has destroyed somewhere in the area of 90% of their food for the coming year. Then it is estimated, looking forward, that China’s GNP will be down in the 3% range way below the area that it needs to be at to survive. I put forth that Xi’s government is in serious trouble.

      Due in part to all of the AntiFa and BLM drama happening around the country in Progressive controlled cities, we are not paying attention to a very serious problem across the Pacific.

      73 & God Bless
