    China overflies Taiwan

    Within just the past few days, mainland China had overflown Taiwanese airspace some 103 times!

    Taiwan should simply shoot down these Chines aircraft--either with or without the implied assistance of the US.

    Or, at a bare minimum, Chen Chien-Jen should announce that the next time China acts so boldly, it will lose its aircraft--and then follow through on the threat. (Again, that is either with or without the aid of the US.)

    I deeply dislike bullies--and that certainly includes countries that act in this manner.

    A more accurate title would read: China overflies China

    I have to wonder if this means they flew over the mainland or just over a outlying island.

    China has been flying over Pratas island for years now but it is about 100 miles from the mainland.

    Shouldn’t the people of Taiwan be given the same respect from you as the people of eastern Ukraine? The Taiwanese want freedom from communist China. You seem to have a soft spot for totalitarian type government.

    It sounds like they are testing Air Defenses to me. Get Taiwan to turn all their systems on!

    Should Taiwan think about how a war with China may turn out before they take your advice?

    Elections in Taiwan are in January. Until then, China will do no real action, only haka dances. If the patriotic party comes to power, Taiwan will willingly re-join with the Motherland. If pro American liberals win or, it will go the Biden style elections, there is significant chance of China taking over Taiwan with military operation. If US will follow and support Taiwan liberals with military action, this will be followed by destruction of all US bases in S Korea and Japan. If Japan pitches in, this will be destruction of Japan. NK will take over SK, Vietnam style. If US will attack Chinese territory, this will result in China attacking US territory.

    I have to laugh that you really think that China is ready to take on the USA. Certainly that is their goal but they are still a long way off.

    Are you friends with a former poster named PJL?
