Chinese warplanes crossed the "middle line" on the approaches to Taiwan

Chinese leading military officials reacted sharply to the demonstration of force by the US naval forces - to the movement of their ships across the strait between the PRC and Taiwan.

PLA fighter-bombers crossed the "middle line" of the Taiwan Strait, holding back separatists after the passage of American warships

- stated in the Chinese edition of the Global Times.

As explained on the resource, two combat aircraft JH-7 [created to replace the local modifications of the Il-28 and MiG-19], the Y-8 aircraft [developed on the basis of the An-12] in the modification of electronic warfare and PLO "entered the identification zone of the air defense of the island Taiwan". It is noted that the PLA Air Force rarely crosses the "middle line" on the approaches to Taiwan, especially when it maneuvers south of the "security line".

The "middle line" is a non-existent border that, according to some leaders on the island, divides the Taiwan Strait into mainland and island parts of Taiwan. Both coasts are part of China

- write in the publication of the PRC.

Taiwanese separatists must be aware that some of the occasional passages of American warships mean nothing compared to the almost daily PLA exercises.

- warned in the Ministry of Defense of the PRC.

Geopolitics is a disgusting phenomenon.
I am personally on the side of Taiwan, purely on the basis of fairness.
Imagine your neighbor is trying to break the wall into your apartment, and arguing that you should live as one family, only because your great-grandfathers shared a dorm room and were homies.
Ordinary residents of Taiwan do not want to have anything to do with the PRC, they were already born and raised in the country they consider to be their homeland. And the mainland China is seen as an aggressor who wants to enslave them and take away their homeland. They do not climb to anyone and only want to be left alone. I think it's a perfectly fair desire.

The Chinese are cunning, they will not rush. They do not need burning ruins, but normal workers, factories and workers and the people who work for them. And the process is going on little by little. If 15 - 20 years ago, no one in Taiwan wanted to hear about reunification with the mainland, now, a significant part of the population takes this idea quite calmly. another 20 - 30 years will pass, both parts of China will be reunited calmly and without incidents, like Hong Kong.

That is, they will wait another 50 years ...

[TermNachTer]

And where should they hurry? they used to measure for centuries. On the territory of modern China, states have existed for almost 5 years, in different forms, under different rulers, what is 000 years for them? But calmly and without problems.

[1976AG]

Now the pace of life is completely different and what was acceptable in the last century won't work now. The states create tensions to the maximum and there is a big difference between a quiet life for centuries and a life on a powder keg every day, at least 10 years.
"But calmly and without problems."
Well, yes, this is exactly how the situation between China, Taiwan and the United States can be characterized.

It seems to me that Bidon himself does not understand what he is doing)))) a very long time ago, in the Fergana Valley, an old wise Tajik, a participant in the Second World War, told me: "Above all, in the East the ability to wait is valued. Long, patiently wait. Learn this. and you will achieve a lot. " Unfortunately, I have not always followed this wise rule.

Citizens can treat whatever they want, as long as it does not coincide with the opinion of the elite, and it is one hundred percent pro-American, nothing will come of it.
There are only two options for reunification:
1. Either China is waiting for the collapse of the American empire, and then it will be possible to create something relatively peacefully
2. Military reunification.
This can be done in twenty years, when the Chinese fleet will not differ much from the American one and will be able to perform such complex tasks.

[TermNachTer]

The value of the top is measured in dollars (yuan, etc.) It is much easier to buy them than 70 million inhabitants)))

[Herman 4223]

China is one hundred percent engaged in this, but the tops are also producers of goods (industrial magnates and others), these are people who will lose their power or access to world markets with the arrival of China. The media is waiting for a sweep, there will be no supporters of reunification either.

[TermNachTer]

How much is it if you count on the heads? I think not even a million. Those who do not want to go to socialism will leave. How they fled from Vietnam and other countries. When you have a lot of dollars (euros, yuan), you are good in any country.

[Herman 4223]

But this is not only understood in China. But also in the USA, Japan, Korea and others. They also promote their interests there and it is easier for them to do this, since the special services of Taiwan were initially sharpened to suppress such activities. Taiwan's state apparatus is working against China.

[TermNachTer]

Everything is bought. Both the state apparatus and the special services. Year 1991 - does it tell you nothing?

[Herman 4223]

Well, if China succeeds, I personally will not mind. In this situation, I am rooting for them.

Millions invested in the economy or even the banks of a country are zeroed if this country collapses on its own or is occupied. By the way, what happened to your savings from Soviet times? My contribution to the savings bank, in fact, was zeroed (thanks to the pre-councilor Pavlov), although there was half a Zhiguli there. Stupidly not allowed to take off when leaving.

[TermNachTer]

I had no savings. I just studied at the Kherson sailor.

They won't wait. Rather, the Maoists will untie the navel.

when the Chinese fleet will be little different from the American

Never

How to say. They are now completing the construction of the second aircraft carrier, not counting the one purchased in Ukraine. And a heavy aircraft carrier is under construction. There are ready-made UDCs, destroyers, frigates are being built, and all this at a pace comparable to that of the United States.
When they have five or seven aircraft carrier groups, they will be able to isolate Taiwan, and then it's a matter of time.

[TermNachTer]

Taking into account the coastal aviation, they will not even need 5 AUG. Because mattress mats now have 5 - 6 AUGs on the move, the rest are under repair of varying duration. But they have a lot of "friends" all over the world. There is no way to drive all the AUG to Southeast Asia. And they will not fight - they will buy)))))

[TermNachTer]

In fact, Matrasoland is not doing as well as you might think. Two friends live there. One near Los Angeles, the other in Wisconsin. The mess is terrible. White flees from New York to them in Wisconsin. It is not realistic for normal whites to live there - black chaos, the police do nothing.

Specifically, they really need TSMC with their share of the world semiconductor market over 50%. And the Americans clearly do not want to lose control, tk. then, in terms of technological leadership, they may end up in one indecent place.

It is about to blaze over Taiwan, because the dragon has come to take his back, and the United States will not dare to openly stand up for Formosa, and China feels it. Because - all the more decisively penetrates closer to the island.
