Taiwan’s air force conducted drills to simulate a war scenario on Tuesday. The exercises took place just two days after the country’s air defence identification zone was breached twice by several Chinese planes.
China is due to start a large-scale military exercise on Thursday in the disputed waters of the South China Sea.
It comes at a time of increased tension with the neighbouring island of Taiwan as Beijing waits to see what impact the Biden administration will have on China-US relations.

#Taiwan #China #ChinaTaiwanTensions
Headline this time not China flexing muscle, but Taiwan flexing muscle 🤣🤣🤣
headline should be farmers protest still headline and no one cares about
Support China from Bangladesh
👏🇨🇳
Just drop the bomb already
Easiest way for Taiwan to protect itself is nuclear weapon. US has given junk weapons to Taiwan
And chineese weapons hits its own ship in Iran
Get ready boys: USA-Israel vs. Iran
USA-Taiwan vs. China
Don’t forget NK
US, TW, SEA vs. CN, RU, NK
@Kapfiji First to go is Japan, that will unified the whole of Asia. What you are proposing is the last thing Taiwan wants.
@uilnosaj Russia is smart. They would rather see the US and China destroy each other and avoid conflict as much as possible. They have weapons, vast arsenals, communications, and land. They can develop their own technology just as much as Taiwan. But who knows.
I’m sure several tanks by the beach will be good. Have a dozen Air Force pilots in the skies will help. Keep an eye out. I believe a few Nations will not do something drastic. Supplies at the outpost will be fantastic.

Even after Trump, US Taiwan relations continues.
Our British royal navy is around there now
So TRue! God Bless the people of Taiwan!

PROC can take out Taiwan for sure but with a fight to the death.
of course they can. But the U.S. and allies can send China 2,000 years back into their 5,000 year history.

Seems like a good excuse for WW3
Well China has practising ruthlessness against its own people.
Tiananmen guangchang 1989. 80 000student protesters and ca 3000 unarmed killed by military. China’s government could never sleep well after that. They have to use oppression against their own people. But war always seems to turn away peoples thought about being oppressed.
Crazy Aljazeera Taiwan and China are separate country don’t call it Mainland China…Chinese puppet 🤬🤬🤬
Taiwan is quite stubborn, if you do not want peace by all means, fight, because of U.S.
Better to surrender and give your territory to China than risk any type of war. Idiots, how are people wanting war?
everyone keep taking side china and USA .
let me ask you all a question :
If you have to pick your leader , which one will you pick
china or usa ??
I would pick USA 100% .
Where you from
I will pick China 100%
For me us
America is on the brink of disintegration. Jan 6 was just a taste of what’s to come. Fix the problems at home should be America’s priority. LOL
Don’t trust China, China is asshoe
You call this “muscles” ??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
I would of battlecruiser rushed China .
People Republic of China and Republic of China…. it’s the internal affair and the civic war is not ended since 1949… please check the fact.
Long live Taiwan 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼

Godbless America
Ew that country sucks and I live in it
Support Taiwan from Thailand 🇹🇭🇹🇼
Taiwan Number 1!! China #3 kekekekeke
Seems like the next ‘incident of Tonkin’. Did anyone already ask which side is more interested in a military confrontation? In criminology, the most expedient way to understand a crime is to grasp the underlying motive. This can also be transferred to geopolitics: Who wants actually what in the context of the current situation?
reality it is: if China try to take full control of Taiwan , US can’t stop it
Bs. Taiwan will hold out, and USA will assist. Everyone will hate China forever if they attack peaceful Taiwan.
Which of the following countries does China not have tense relations with:
A. Taiwan
B. India
C. America
D. Australia.
E. The moon
Gengis khan
This is what happens when a non-white country becomes the most powerful country on earth
@Matthew Ng they are not the most powerful. the USA still holds that title. =]
@Purify its not where your at, its where your going that counts
@Matthew Ng where we are going is to space…. and anywhere else we want. china is picking on taiwan……………………………………………………….
China sucks
China funded UN can do nothing.
We from the UK support Taiwan against the evil CCP ! 🇹🇼
“basic principles” courtesy of Trump. Would you hate this guy already???
Put the chinese government in a concentration camp and teach them human rights..Free Uyghurs
Fight for your country Taiwan.. Dont let them bully you
Taiwan: “Flexes Muscles”
China: “You want to die?” Lol
Dont be used as a chess piece by the West
F u. Taiwan is independent.
Japan slaughtered china in the last world war. taiwan has friends best to remember that.
@Purify yes your right, just like how Germany slaughtered the Jews
@Matthew Ng =]
Taiwan is the Israel of the Pacific 💪😊
Nah, Israel has nuclear bombs
Taiwan was under Japan and Portugal longer than it was under China. It is independent. Suck it ccp.
Whatever you feel about Trump, he did one good thing that no American can dispute, he open the door for his successors to confront China without political repercussions.
Time to stop trading with China. Their products can be sourced elsewhere. Xi is a bully, a threat to the whole region.
Long live Taiwan🇹🇼, the true China♥️
if China Taiwan Biden is week. the world needs Trump!
I will be the President of the United states in 2024. I will show everyone that the CCP has no legal right over Hong Kong ! ! Sincerely, JASON BOURNE
Taiwan is part of mainland China. We Vietnamese don’t recognize Taiwan as a country!!!
Very good. Taiwan insists not only Okinawa but also Taiwan insists whole Indochina is Taiwan’s territory, you can’t recognize Taiwan for sure.
Back to 72 years ago, when KMT lead ROC was defeated by PRC, the ROC insists that Taiwan is part of China, want to regain the control of the mainland, PRC in mainland also declared that Taiwan is part of China, in UN there is only one China, ROC just is the defeated government of China before 1949. Even USA recognizes this, this is the foundation for Sino-US to build formal relation in 1979. How come Taiwan become hard issue between China and US today? Which side changed its position?
Bomb China
How could China ever carry out an incursion in its own territorial waters?
Game players are CN and US. TW just a game site. CN could take any island surrounding them several hundred years ago.. but CN never do this kind of invasion like US for past 200 years. US likes to war, CN has been picked as opponent with not much option.
this is all being enticed by the US. They are making it worse than it should be, as always.
Once China makes any attempt to invade, the world will finally wake up and cut China off. At that point, 1.5 billion communists begin to starve. Enjoy it China. Taiwan is independent-has been for over 70 years now.
Taiwan is not and never will be a part of communist china!!! Taiwan is an independent country!!!
Arrogant Taiwan insists Okinawa is its territory, we need to protect Okinawa from evil Taiwan and the US. Go China! Smash Taiwan and the US, kick out all those US bases for Taiwan from Okinawa!
Great journalism
It the US ever launches any military action to protect Taiwan from its military bases in Okinawa that is showing the reality Okinawa is a colony, unsinkable aircraft carrier for our enemy Taiwan, it will be another Pearl Harbour again for sure.
The problem is the CCP. The Chinese people need to step up and cut the head off the snake.
Please brothers of Taiwan and China…Peace…please PEACE…please !
Easy for the CCP while nothing is lighting them up.
Build fortified islands round tiwain
Hey Americans, wake up, dealing with CHINA is not about being soft, you need to treat the CCP as they treat others, that’s how you cure such disease! You cannot fix stupid and you talk common sense to something that doesn’t have the capability to comprehend such matter!
Chinese incursion? Taiwan is part of China.
Taiwan is part of china
Taiwan is Taiwan 🇹🇼 China is China
Quiet 🤫…u goofy
China is pure evil…
TAIWAN 🇹🇼 ❤️ 🇺🇸 BE STRONG TAIWAN NUMBER ONE ☝🏼
China surely will attack Taiwan this year, Russians must assist Taiwan too risky the US will turn the table in favor of supporting the ccp.
No coincidence it happens after trump leaves
This is no surprise. Taiwan and China still at war, no peace treaty till today. This is still the war zone
more power to Taiwan
Taiwan ✔️✔️✔️
Kick China in the nuts!🇹🇼
India should join Taiwan and do the same like Chinese strategy of two front war where China is joining Pakistan. The QUAD 🇺🇸🇮🇳🇦🇺🇯🇵 should join Taiwan/ROC 🇹🇼 to its group so democracy is protected. China/CCP uses Salami slicing method to see if it’s neighbor is weak or not to occupy/dominate them. CCP only respects strength.
Everyday China give mouth pieces Taiwan if declared independence that is mean war 😂, CCP still sleeping , Taiwan now has president , elections and military 😂😂🤝😛
