China launched massive, live-ammunition military drills encircling Taiwan on Thursday.
Military exercises conducted by the navy, air force and other departments are already underway in six zones surrounding Taiwan, while China’s official Xinhua News Agency said the drills were joint operations focused on “blockade, sea target assault, strike on ground targets, and airspace control.”
And China’s eastern military command confirmed that at around 1 p.m. (0500 GMT) units of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) “implemented long-range fire live firing training in the Taiwan Strait and conducted precise strikes on specific areas in the eastern part of the Taiwan Strait,” which separates mainland China from the island.
The show of force around vital international shipping lanes — disrupting 18 international routes, according to Taiwan — comes after a visit to the island by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the highest-ranking politician to visit in 25 years.
In doing so, the United States had defied Beijing’s threats of repercussions to the trip.

Overseas Chinese love pla rehearsal to reunite Taiwan, jia you pla
If it wasn't for the west's constant meddling in other countries' affairs, the CCP would've taken Taiwan back from Chiang Kai-Shek after the CCP won the Civil War and we wouldn't be having this problem. The west has meddled in so many countries internal affairs and thus has destabilized them by assassinating democratically elected leaders and setting up brutal dictatorships instead, which has put them in a state of chaos up to modern times. The west will pay for their arrogance and their crimes against smaller and weaker nations. The USSR paid and now it's the west's turn. It's time for the west to learn that the world isn't their chess board and that their meddling has caused much more harm than good.
China you are too weak according to some because they know if this was US and the C7 aka Corrupt 7, they would have kill many people without a sweat. You still haven't kill anyone, that's why you are not a democracy, you don't care about Human Right, you only care about Human Left. 👎
The US isn't going to supply Taiwan if worse comes to worse. The island will be overrun within days. Why even bother selling them F-15s exactly? Keep the status quo and move on. Taiwan can consider themselves independent from China but they will never represent greater China and is subsumed by it. It's like Texas and California will never be independent countries outside of the US as much as people bring up succession.
Piglosi and obiden starting ww3
Taiwan president invites her visit Taiwan first ,Taiwan broken red line policy first, Taiwan need pay the price ,USA visit Taiwan want to chips, Taiwan bend kneel help USA dig own grandfather chip, welcome welcome buries
82 year old suicidal clown trying to get us all killed
China is looking for trouble… it might get it exactly when it doesn't really need it. Usually the commies are dying on their own tongue.
She's lying to them about democracy. The west is a Republic only and democracy is fraud.
Democrats are charged with fraud and will be prosecuted. Republicans who refer to democracy as anything except fraud are rhinos and will be prosecuted.
71st United States secretary of state Anthony John Blinken made it clear that we do not oppose nor endorse Taiwan independence. That does not affect Taiwan independence.
Nancy is a fraud and a disaster for western residents and we deeply regret that she has provoked this foolish CCP attack upon us all.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, America is a replublic.
USA China don't want none
In response, US to send a high-level representative to Taiwan every month.
Junk from China
Junk from China
Junk from China
Junk from China hahaha ,,,,,,,,,,,, WHAT A JOKE Fugazi Loco "Allahu Akbar"
Its nothing New. US needs to start its next war. It doesnt matter if they win or lose, it's just because its miliatary industrial complex needs to make big money, namely Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing etc..
china is a 3rd world country with money. taiwan has been a great friend to the usa but (like panama & guam & phillipines) tends to vote either way. the usa leaves when the romance ends.
Russia is so damn close to USA territory the USA should just do a preemptive strike on BOTH Russia and China and put this NATION OWNERSHIP BS to rest. The USA will own them BOTH; Greenland too if Trump has his way.
Pelosi visit was a deliberate attempt by the USA to rachet up the tension in the region. At the same time the USA wants to split Taiwan from China by not so subtly legitimising Taiwan as an independent country. All the talk of recognising "One China" is just Whiteman Forked Tongue talk.
Communist countries…. Threat to world peace!!!! China ! North Korea! Russia!
The bottom line, 1.4 billion Chinese OWN Taiwan. Politics is not an excuse of stealing ownership.
what wrong for having military exercise within your national boundary?
这主持人太正了
Tsai Ing-wen is resolutely quiet about the missiles flying over Taiwan, and never uses the expensive inventory of weapons bought from the Americans. Such calm is expected because everyone knows the PLA does not intend to harm ordinary people on Taiwan, that's not the purpose of the military exercises. Following the stealth entry of Pelosi into Taiwan, her adventure successfully erased the imaginary median line at the Taiwan Strait. Pelosi's son and husband can't be very happy as they must dump their holding of Chinese stocks and other Chinese assets after the sanction. All in all a very exciting summer break.
China is recognized by the world, they won the civil war in 1949, Taiwan belongs to them.
2 superpowers. One keeps building 3rd world. One keeps bombing 3rd world.
Crazy days
i really hope for nuclear annihilation of all life on earth!
Pelosi visit Taiwan because Taiwan needs help. Why China gets angry? TAIWAN people must have the freedom to choose not by force. 🙂 TAIWAN – wants to be a democratic country 🙂 and all democratic country will help Taiwan. If China will take it by force. 🙂
The Germans shouldn’t make the same mistake with China like they did with Russia.
China has promised 'punishment'. They love that word.
No one cares
Chinese Communist Party is just scared that one day the real China, Republic of China 🇹🇼 would return to mainland. So they wants to eliminate it ASAP
CHINA WILL TAKE OVER TAIWAN ONCE AND FOR ALL TO KEEP U.S. AWAY FROM IT,,, IS NOTHING U.S. WILL DO, CHINA IS A SUPER POWER NATION NOW PLUS RUSIA TURQUIS AND MANY COUNTRIES ONT PLANET SUPPORT CHINA AND EVERY ONE KNOWS CHINA WILL DO RIGHT THING STOPING OUT USA END EUROPE AWAY FROM TAIWAN THIS IS THE RESULT WHEN PUCHIN CHINA OVER THE LIMIT AND NOT RESPECTING PEOPLE OF CHINA SOVEREIGNTY TAIWAN IS PART OF CHINA UNLES CHINA DECLARES TAIWAN INDEPENDENCE.
DW Fakers & Psychos with slow voice…
China is increasing military activity around Taiwan, and tensions will only increase
Global citizen are not ready for another war. America stop meddling in other countries internal affairs
The true American democracy is war as we all know..
It's a matter of time.
Nancy you are a fool
I hope you are alright Taiwanese and Chinese people. I'm sorry those in charge in both sides care so little about us.
It's a total BS excuse by China anybody who denies that just denies reality. And 80 year old woman is more of a threat than the United States most powerful aircraft carrier that is in the region? I think not. Manufactured crisis just like the absolute ridiculous total covid lockdowns in China
Taiwan can defend itself. Fools.
Taiwan must prepare to fall back,
China is too strong, and they have the resources to conquer.
You’ve become wealthy, and compared to geniuses because of the support you’ve received from the west, but this will not stop the storm that comes for you,
You must flee, take no time to collect your belongings and go.
No aid has a strong enough defense to protect you.
Many are quick to come to you now while the threat seems small, but the threat will increase, and it is not as small as it appears.
Don’t listen to the promises your Allie’s have said. Going to War will not protect you.
Anyone who is willing to listen must flee, even at the cost of loosing all you’ve known before. Go to the places that do not practice war, you will be safe their until the end. The end is soon.
Do not fear where you’ll go, there will be persecution, but the places and houses that do not practice war will treat you as friends.
You may even be persecuted by your current friends and family, but you need to go to survive.
Your enemies plan to take what you have, and you may do nothing but hurt them as till they take it.
Don’t let your families fight for things that will not last anyway, take who will go with you, so you may protect yourselves from loosing those you love to hate and violence. Go so those you leave behind May know where to go while when the storm gets closer.
There are many who will not leave however, you must prepare for this as well.
Let China take what they’ve come for, it is not you. You have places you may go and endure, but you will be taken if you stay.
