Taiwan: New US citadel that will fall in flames
  • The United States plans to sell as many as seven major weapons systems, including mines, cruise missiles and drones to Taiwan, four people familiar with the discussions said, as the Trump administration ramps up pressure on China.

    Pursuing seven sales at once is a rare departure from years of precedent in which US military sales to the island were spaced out and carefully calibrated to minimize tensions with Beijing.

    And necessary energy for TSMC and military bases

  • Sep. 18, two Chinese H-6 bombers, eight J-16 fighters, four J-10 fighters and four J-11 fighters crossed the midline of the Taiwan Strait and entered Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ.

    It is not Huawei who are US target - it is China itself. Main idea to repeat WWII start where US forced Japan to attack using oil blockade and attack being not ready, early and unprepared.

  • That a massive action can be organized in such a short time sends a strong signal. It shows that the PLA has the ability to mobilize and organize a military action targeted at Taiwan in a very short period of time. Although it's called a military exercise, it's more like an actual combat. It's an emergency response by the PLA and the country to the situation in the Taiwan Straits, which is of great significance, adding the weight of the mainland in dealing with the cross-Straits situation.

  • At 6:45AM in the morning in Taipei today (Sept 24th), office workers witnessed a group of fighter planes flew over the city. Many people suddenly heard the sound of fighter planes in their sleep and were worried about whether they would start mobilizing for combat.

    Taiwan people: The war has started ?!

    Taiwan Military: No just rehearsing for National Day!

    Taiwan Ministry of National Defense stated that today is the first rehearsal of Double Ten, and the relevant fighters are the participating troops.

    Taiwan media reported that the online forum was washed out by a series of fighter-related posts. Netizens said that "fighter planes skimmed through downtown Taipei at high speed," and "warplanes roared past the presidential palace several times." The discussion was extremely heated. Netizens even left messages saying: "It's loud enough! I was awakened directly", "I want to ask, is it a missile?", "If the mainland wants to fight Taiwan, the first one is to fight Taipei", "The PLA is really here?", "Are there really wars between the two sides of the strait?" etc.

    Taiwan Ministry of National Defense mentioned that the Double Ten Festival is approaching, and the air forces participating in the show will have their first rehearsal early this morning. The Thunder Tiger team’s AT-3 trainer and F-16 fighter jets will pass through the Taipei city in order. Overhead.

    The Ministry also announced on Facebook that "the Internet is circulating that the sound of warplanes over Taipei is everywhere. Is it true that the CCP has come over? This is false information! Please rest assured."

    ** As early as last week, people were taken back by the air defense sirens. *** On 21-Sep, it was the Disaster Prevention Day, BUT on the afternoon of 20-Sep, an air defense alarm SUDDENLY (WITHOUT WARNING) sounded in downtown Taitung (台東), which lasted for more than 10 seconds. => Given the PLA was organizing actual combat exercises near the Taiwan Strait, the Taiwan air defense warning shocked many people, and some even suspected "communist attack."
