  China is planning for an invasion of Taiwan,

  Yeah, they’ve been planning to invade next week for decades now…

    I mean, they literally are planning for an invasion. Whether they will is up for debate, but they’re definitely designing their naval fleet for it and performing exercises simulationing an invasion.

  China is planning for an invasion of Taiwan, so they’re certainly putting together a backup plan

  Yes, a backup plan for a potential case of Taiwan being used as a static US aircraft carrier against it in a war. You remember that they’re still at war, right? No peace treaty was ever signed between the KMT and the CPC.

  Look at your own source:

  Shortly after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s arrival in Taipei, China announced plans to hold live-fire drills

  It’s almost as if the drills are a response to something other than just Taipei not yet being willing to re-unify.

  I also note that the bright red symbols on the mark connote a sense of urgency and yet this is from 2022. Obviously the invasion must be happening any day now…

  The map also references other drills from 1995-1996 which I note are denoted as “Third Taiwan Strait Crisis”… If they were at 3 crises by 1996, I can’t imagine how many crises we’ve had since, considering liberals have been unable to shut the fuck up about this for decades.

  Please, calm down, you are being reactionary.

    Right. Reactionary. That must be why china is requiring that all civilian ferries are capable of RORO of tank sized vehicles and why they’re building massive landing barges capable of handling landing on Taiwan’s rocky coasts.

    Taiwan has every right to be concerned with an invasion because it’s what china keeps saying.

    So, no, you don’t get to wave your propaganda wand and make a very real issue go away.

      “I’m not being reactionary!! They have a marine corps!! And invasion plans for the region held by the enemy resistance forces. They’ve said that they’re committed to peaceful reunification and haven’t attempted any invasions for decades despite many opportunities, but that’s all just been an act, they’re gonna invade aaaany day now!”

        You remind me of a Russian propagandist right before one of their invasions of Ukraine.
