Why has the Chinese Military Suddenly Become so Aggressive?

With Joe Biden’s mumbling and stumbling and members of his own party looking to replace him, might China be thinking about a great time to retake Taiwan?  As we have said in the past, we’re surprised they haven’t tried it already.

****************

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence (MND) on Thursday said that it had detected 66 Chinese military aircraft and vessels around the island, apparently en route to a Chinese military exercise in the Western Pacific.

The media outlet embedded a statement by Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence on its X platform.

“66 PLA aircraft and seven PLAN vessels operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 am (2200 GMT Wednesday) today,” the statement said.

When asked about this, the Chinese government responded by declaring that the operation was about protecting “its sovereignty and territorial integrity”…

When asked about the warplanes crossing the median line at a regular press briefing in Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian avoided directly responding. “The determination of China to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity remains unrelenting,” he said.

The CCP insists that Taiwan is Chinese territory, and the Biden administration has been warned that “reunification” will take place at some point.

Let us hope that the Chinese do not choose to use this current window of opportunity to “reunify” with Taiwan, because the moment that they invade we will be at war with China and everything will change.

Unfortunately, it appears that the Chinese have been aggressively probing Taiwan’s maritime defenses.  During the first six months of 2024, the Taiwanese Coast Guard “drove away 567 Chinese boats”…
