🦍 that's what xi said
"doctor appointments as low as $19”
🦍 chinese military exercises
tensions are rising between china and taiwan as the chinese military conducted drills around the island of taiwan for a 3 day period
these drills were announced on apr 7 friday and launched the following day
they included targeted strikes and fighter planes simulating an “aerial blockade”
71 warplanes and 9 vessels were detected
🦍 the motive
these drills were most likely in response to taiwanese president tsai visiting the us and meeting with house speaker mccarthy (the exercises took place a few days after this event). due to china’s position that taiwan is a part of their territory and under their sovereignty, this kind of diplomacy would not please them
🦍 the man behind the ambition
president xi has not been coy about his intentions to keep taiwan from being a fully independent state. he’s been busy over the past few weeks, meeting with a variety of world leaders:
these include brazilian president lula, french president macron, and others from spain, singapore, malaysia, …
xi has not condemned putin for invading ukraine and there is speculation of potential military support to russia
china is at a critical juncture, and xi’s recent moves seem to be an attempt to weaken european allegiance to the us and strengthen ties between asian countries
us military analysts are warning that china could impose military action on taiwan as soon as 2027. we really are living in troubling times - keep your eyes on what xi does next
