I’m very curious to see what happens during those military drills, they are way closer and more extensive than the crisis in 1996.
New 96 straits crisis just dropped, almost the fucking same as the last one. I guess last time it was a politician from Taiwan coming to the US and against the judgement of the dem president, congress went over their head (for seemingly no reason strategic or otherwiae) and escalated things for no reason.
That thumbnail does not go with the article lol
Think it’s an arm wrestle which kind of makes sense
Does look a lot like the handshake from Predator though lol
more suspicion that the CPC’s propaganda ministers are too insular, if they don’t know the popularity of the Predator meme. This is their English language mouthpiece that is supposed to reach the Western/World audience.
This is truly a crisis, the Chinese military basically breath down the neck of Taipei just for photo ops. Oh, PLA going to normalize this for sure
PLA normalizing disruptions of commercial shipping to and from Taiwan would ratchet up shipping costs for Taiwan so unbelievably much.
