China Resumes Military Flights Around Taiwan After Sudden 10-Day Hiatus
The Wall Street Journal2 days
China sending 26 jets near Taiwan is pure fear-mongering with no strategic logic behind it. Any invasion attempt would be suicidal — China lacks the oil, the tech and the military readiness Xi himself set for 2027. Seven ships and 26 planes don't constitute a credible threat, just routine posturing dressed up as crisis.
China's 26 warplanes and 7 navy ships circling Taiwan the same day the US sent more troops to the Middle East is no coincidence — Xi waited 16 days for the perfect window and found it. With depleted missile stockpiles and Marines in the Gulf, America has no real response ready. TSMC alone makes this the most dangerous geopolitical moment since 2003.
