China launched its most extensive war games around Taiwan on Monday to showcase Beijing’s ability to cut off the island from outside support in a conflict, testing Taipei’s resolve to defend itself and its arsenal of U.S.-made weapons.
The Eastern Theatre Command said it had deployed troops, warships, fighter jets and artillery for its “Justice Mission 2025” exercises to encircle the democratically governed island, conduct live fire and simulated strikes on land and sea targets, and drills to blockade Taiwan’s main ports.
The live-firing exercises will continue on Tuesday across a record seven zones designated by China’s Maritime Safety Administration, making the drills the largest to date by total coverage and in areas closer to Taiwan than previous exercises. The military had initially said artillery firing would be confined to five zones.
False equivalence.
It’s like China starting a war between California and the rest of America and supplying California with weapons then saying California is a separate country.
And since China helped California in the war, China established their military base in California to help defend California.
Reading this would have Americans shaking and crying but this is exactly what America did.
California?! Lmfao. Taiwan is a small island, not the arguibly second most important state. Also, you really should learn history because the comparison you did makes no sense when you know what actually happened. It’s more like French giving up their territory overseas but not telling to whom they are actually giving it to, leaving the “ownership” to be dealt with by others, and since “others” can’t agree on it, then nothing changes and Taiwan stays independant.
California and Texas belong to Mexico. Give them back!
Free Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam and Cuba!
I can assure you Californians and Texans want to stay as part of US. I can also assure you Taiwan wants to stay independant. Your comparisons suck because you’re detached from reality and keep pushing government propagandas.
I believe Mexico wants the land and not the European settlers occupying California and Texas.
But Texas literally declared independence from Mexico. Again, study history because your comparisons suck.
The people did, the land didn’t. Those people can go live in another country but not take the land with them.
