LIVE: China's "Punishment Drills" Near Taiwan: Will China Invade Taiwan? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
A Chinese state media broadcaster, CCTV, has released an animated video showing the bombing of Taiwan by the Chinese military. The video shows Chinese jets loaded with live ammunition and bombers carrying out simulated strikes on the island nation. Meanwhile, China has also launched two days of military exercises around Taiwan, which Beijing refers to as "punishment drills" against "separatist activities" of the island nation. China's People’s Liberation Army has stated that these drills are designed to test its ability to "seize power" over the island. This comes just days after Taiwan sworn in its new President, Lai Ching-te, who, in his address, called upon Beijing to stop threatening Taiwan. On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tell you more.
Note: An inadvertent error was made while describing CCTV's video on Taiwan, where "launched" was spelled as "launch". The error is regretted.

The Orphan of Asia cries in the wind Yellow faces have red dirt Black pupils have white fear The west wind sings a sad song in the east The Orphan of Asia cries in the wind No one wants to play a fair game with you Everyone wants your beloved toy Dear child, why are you crying How many people are searching for that unsolvable problem How many people sigh helplessly in the middle of the night How many people's tears are wiped away in silence Dear mother, what is the reason for this...

[@thomastang6675]

The Orphan of Asia refers to Taiwan which was invaded and colonized by Japan in around 1894. The clonization by Japan last for about half a century。Taiwan was then separated from China since 1894 until 1945. So dont be fooled by those Taiwanbots spreading misinformation.

[@TaiwanNationStatusQuo]

@@thomastang6675 denying, belittling, and depriving others own identity is what big bullies really good at such as the Party's Royal China. In our eyes, Japan in 1985 and China in 1945 both occupied and colonized us due to postwar arrangement that we had no say at all. No longer the case. After 1996, we elect and renew authorization to our government and congress every 4y, and the troops are no longer affiliated to a political party. Chinese netizens, go back to your dreams where your propaganda is music to your own eyes.

No she didnt just compare the Palestinian situation to Taiwan. All Taiwan has to do is distance themselves lightly from the US and act an intermediary between the US and China. Also, they are armed to the teeth; Palestinians are not. Taiwan is more akin to Israel than Palestine and both are backed to the healm by the US.

What concerns you between china tiawan

[@DiidiTi]

Malaysian extremists are attempting to leverage the anti-black rock company sentiment, but it is imperative for them to cease relying on government support before advocating for such causes. They must acknowledge the importance of addressing their past government's exploitation of resources and financial mismanagement, which has significantly drained the country's wealth. By holding accountable those responsible for these actions, they can truly advocate for meaningful change and sustainable development in their nation.
