China has just launched enormous military exercises codenamed "Joint Sword-2024A" which are designed to simulate what a war against Taiwan would look like.
Most Americans don't seem to realize this, but once China goes to war with Taiwan, we will instantly be in a state of war with China.
On Thursday, the Chinese "Encircled Taiwan with naval vessels and military aircraft" as Joint Sword-2024A kicked off China on Thursday encircled Taiwan with naval vessels and military aircraft in war games, as it vowed the blood of "Independence forces" on the self-ruled island would flow.
These are the biggest military exercises that we have seen in the region so far, and CNN is reporting that "Dozens of Chinese fighter jets carrying live ammunition" are involved As part of the drills, dozens of Chinese fighter jets carrying live ammunition conducted mock strikes against "High-value military targets" of the "Enemy" alongside destroyers, frigates and missile speedboats, according to China's state broadcaster CCTV. The exercises, which started early on Thursday and will encircle Taiwan, pose the first real test for newly elected Lai Ching-te as he attempts to manage relations with the island's powerful authoritarian neighbor.
Taiwan's presidential office expressed regret that China was threatening the island's democratic freedoms and regional peace and stability with its "Unilateral military provocations", but said people could rest assured Taiwan could ensure its security.
Interestingly, the military exercises that China is currently conducting are simulating action against some of those outlying islands Su Tzu-yun, a research fellow at Taiwan's top military think tank, the Institute for National Defence and Security Research, said that although the drills would only last two days, the scope is large relative to previous exercises, as they included Taiwan's outlying islands.
There has been a lot of concern about what it would mean if China gained control over the chipmaking facilities in Taiwan, because the entire globe is heavily dependent on the advanced chips that Taiwan produces Two of the world's most important chip companies can flip a "Kill switch" remotely on their most advanced chipmaking machines should China invade Taiwan, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
