China on Thursday claimed that two supply vessels from the Philippines trespassed the waters of the disputed Nansha Islands.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian remarks come in response to the Philippines' accusation that Chinese Coast Guard vessels fired water cannons at boats delivering supplies to Philippine military personnel in Ayungin Shoal in the disputed South China Sea.

Beijing fired missile from hypersonic weapon

China tested a hypersonic vehicle in July that was able to fire off its own missile over the South China Sea while travelling at five times the speed of sound, in a physics-defying display of technology that no other country has demonstrated, according to a new report.

“Military experts have been poring over data related to the test to understand how China mastered the technology. They are also debating the purpose of the projectile, which was fired by the hypersonic vehicle with no obvious target of its own, before plunging into the water.”
Some Pentagon experts believe it was an air-to-air missile, while others think it was a countermeasure to destroy missile defence systems, according to the report.

There are billions of them, I'm pretty sure a handful would be smart enough. Seriously, you guys didnt see this one coming, when you ignored the rest of South East Asia and propped up the Chinese from the 70s onwards?

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”​

― Sun tzu, The Art of War

I think there also was: "when you don't have a weapon pretend that you do" and "when you don't believe something pretend that you do"

Well seems those hypersonic missiles are pretty damn real

I have doubts about the baby missile, there is no evidence, only talk.

Maybe it's a good thing that the US Military has a peer opponent to get focused on. Better than all of this woke, CRT BS.

I don't get it. Most Taiwanese don't want to become CCP citizens.

I've been to Taiwan visiting a friend from Germany who worked there.

The population is pretty much Western in thinking and living. They are just a very small country and many think they will be absorbed anyway in an Event of war so why die in the process?

Although many not actively participating would die aswell.

Ah and you can speak about that topic, but you can't speak about the issue in China. Its even on a list of topics not to be touched.

Typical of commie countries the GDR also did it when dealing with the West.

But thats the end of Taiwan and its industry nothing for China to harvest there then.

How will the PLA invade without destroying Taiwan? The destruction just happens when they attack, typical Commie tactic of switching actio and reactio to justify their acations.

Also the CCP is not known for delicate and surgical dealings with opponents.

Taiwan would just need to blow up some dams in China to equal out destruction and hate.

And after destroying and killing Taiwanese lands I am sure the PLA soldiers will be warmly welcomed.

Nearly 90 percent of public identify with Taiwan: poll

Just a theoretical idea would the free nations declare all Chinese shipping as a target in an event of war? That would be a huge deterrent.

Also what with all the factories owned by foreign countries in China? Happy business as usual? I think not. Right now foreigners are leaving China in droves. Its a mega prison at the moment.

Anyway I know few people wanting to live or even travel there (as long as the CCP reigns). So by such an adventure it would become totally isolated.

For First Time, Half of Americans Favor Defending Taiwan If China Invades

For First Time, Half of Americans Favor Defending Taiwan If China Invades

2021 Chicago Council Survey data show a majority of Americans support a range of US policies towards Taiwan: recognition as an independent country, inclusion in international organizations, and a US-Taiwan free trade agreement.

In Taiwan, Views of Mainland China Mostly Negative​

Closer Taiwan-U.S. relations largely welcomed, especially economically​

In Taiwan, Views of Mainland China Mostly Negative

There is widespread support in Taiwan for increased economic and political ties with the U.S. While many are wary of stronger political ties with mainland China, about half would favor stronger economic relations.

It wishful thinking (peaceful unification or freeing the Taiwanese from capitalism US vassal bla bla) of a country led by a party which makes 5 year plans and believes its own lies.

The next 5 year plan. The GDR also exported consumer goods it subsidised to the West, a bit like commie China.

Once a factory produced too many kitchen aprons, can happen in communism when all just fake interest but are in internal immigration in reality.. So they went to their West German customers and and tried to get rid of 10 million excess aprons.

Thats communism, the gist is, I guess they have no real clue except that numbers make them feel good. Even if all else doesn't fit around it and is totally anorganic.

How are they going to get their fleet beyond the first island chain? They have no real hassle free access to blue waters.

Ist a doctrine error to emulate other countries with other needs and prerequisites.

Buying their way into an Aussie port has been a joke. Just shows how ambivalent a country can get when a blindfold made out of money is worn by politicians.
Same here with our products being dependent on China.
The national party even had a chinese spy for an MP.
Taxcindy never comments on the subject in case she offends Xi. Completely captive for such a human rights advocate, wannabe running the UN.
Aussie turned the corner when it started looking at the influence and banning foreign money from politics. It actually required a debate and law change to do is the real joke.
