Fourth Taiwan Strait Crisis

[9dashline]

So far this evening has been relatively quiet from the Chinese side.
Two reasons for this:
1. It has been early AM hours
2. Final ultimatums via the emergency military hotlines are being delivered

What is the US thinking? Poking Xi in the eye in his election year on the 95th anniversary of the founding of the PLA!?

FULL SCALE WAR

Chinese are too nice to hold grudges. The United States behaves like the bully they are, and the mask has come off.

The yankees don't like wearing covid masks anyway.

Doesnt it tell a lot about Chinas neighours that all of them know that Pelosi is fishing for trouble yet they're assisting her to complete her mission. Not one of them said that sorry please don't land here, you're out to cause chaos in the region.

But then again maybe those countries realised that US is the true top dog and if you really want to annoy anyone it better be China rather than US.

Most disappointing is that idiot son of LKY, his son turned out to be an idiot.

All domestic flights also cancelled for Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport and Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport. Jinjiang is a civilian/military dual use airport.

Which is also necessary for the PLA to show their mettle if God forbid, a conflict does arise from the Pelosi visit.

If PRC actually got into a war with US over Pelosi's visit, there is a high chance that India would also make trouble for PRC at Galwan, taking advantage of the situation anyway. Two front war is still very much in the cards. Only in this case, India would have the initiative. When the possibility of two front war is high anyway, it would be smart to cripple a potential weaker adversary first, eliminate it from the board so to speak. AFAIK, US administration has made pledges to defend Taiwan and US hasn't made similar pledges to India.

Then Pakistan would just yet again waste another opportunity to pounce on India like they did in 1962? I think not. India would be the most stupid idiot if it were to decide to attack China.

At least one other RORO ferry normally based in Bohai has sailed south. 35k ton 渤海钻珠号 left Tianjin on 26/07 and as of yesterday is also headed for Xiamen.

How many of these ferry do they have?

Regardless of the outcome, it is time for China (and all people who would like peace in the world) to consider the United States an existential threat, and prepare accordingly.

No, China needs to recognize the utopia for what it is. A tumor that bred out of colonial cancer. This forum is full of peaceful people. Otherwise my proposition would be to overfly kingdom of guam with declaration of nuclear test on free & open native american territory of our native partners.
China & Russia will eventually has to come to conclusion that i've been saying all along. There is no alternative to extermination of this tumor. You can never co-exist with this.

If i were in leading position , i would have already done that & see who dares to f--t. I would teraform native america, even if i had to move the earth out of it's orbit or throw it out of the galaxy for that. This is the only logical & morally right thing to do. We made a mistake 2 century ago. 7/4 should have never happened. A grave wrong stands to be corrected.

Track for 渤海钻珠号, note its normal operating route at the mouth of Bohai Sea back at the start of July.

Very interesting - the RORO ship started steaming for Xiamen on the day of the Xi-Biden talk.

I have a feeling that the Xi-Biden talk failed to dissuade Pelosi from going to Taiwan, hence the contingencies afterwards. So both sides at least know for sure that Pelosi is intending to visit, and had 4 days to prepare.
