Taiwan’s defence ministry has urged China to stop “destructive, unilateral action” after reporting a sharp rise in Chinese military activities near the island, warning such behaviour could lead to an increase in tensions.
China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has in recent years regularly carried out military drills around the island as it seeks to assert its sovereignty claims and pressure Taipei.
Taiwan’s defence ministry said that since Sunday it had spotted 103 Chinese military aircraft over the sea, a number it called a “recent high”. The planes were detected between 6am on Sunday and 6am on Monday, the ministry said. As is customary, they turned back before reaching Taiwan.
There are significant differences, some of which have already been mentioned. In terms of Ukraine, the difference last time they had their exercise before the invasion was that they had transported things not necessarily having to do with the flexy shit they did the previous exercises with. Autumn 21 rus*ia was transporting blood, field hospitals and some hq equipment, things we normally don’t see them doing, proving that to be the first steps for the invasion. West knows very well the difference between setting up an invasion and setting up a flex to scare and coerce.
Ch*na has absolutely nothing to indicate these are but provocations. They lack the equipment, logistics and education to invade Taiwan. If this actually brews up to something, its mainlanders doing a quite literal suicide
