China launches mock missile strikes on Taiwan

China has deployed dozens of warplanes and navy ships off the coast of Taiwan as part of a mock missile strike.
The two-day tests were staged to punish Taiwan's new president over his refusal to accept the island as part of China.

[@zeissiez]

Why all these years of talk but no action from China to reclaim Taiwan which is recognized by the UN and 183 countries (including the US) as a part of China? Because China knows it will pay a heavy price to fight a war, and it will take years to control the rebels in Taiwan. Instead, China is hitting on the head of the snake: Sell US Treasuries and de-dollarize. Once Uncle Sam becomes weak, it would no longer use Taiwan against China, Taiwan could naturally merge with China again.

It goes back much further. The problem is that the U.S. is no longer responding as it did in 1996, when it sent 2 aircraft carrier groups in response to these exercises. This is something that is recognized by the PRC and Taiwan both. It is a safe gamble by Xi to just turn one of these training exercises into an actual invasion at some point not too far in the future.

As Hungarian PM Orban put it, "This year, with God's help, we can end the inglorious era of Western civilization. We can end a world order based on progressive liberal hegemony. The progressive liberal world spirit has collapsed. It brought war, chaos, unrest and destroyed economies around the world. It brought about stupid international politics, impoverished families and caused the deterioration of public safety. It was a strange era. Its followers proclaimed that their task was not to represent the people but to implement their own ideals. They divided the world into democracies and autocracies and declared their role was to lead a crusade against autocracies. They fought, they exported democracy, and eventually, people got tired of them. Let's be clear: this world order has produced leaders who are not capable of being leaders, and who are not suitable for this role. They make mistake after mistake and ultimately go to their own destruction."
