China Attacks! By James Reed
China is now baiting the US, having a weak pseudo-leader, senile Joe Biden. Still, the US, like Australia is run by the Deep State, so it will not be Biden giving the go-to for a retaliation. It is a dangerous game because someone is going to make a mistake, then, war!
“Chinese warplanes appear to have simulated an attack on a U.S. aircraft carrier during Monday flights around Taiwan, multiple defense analysts told Newsweek on Tuesday.
On Monday, China sent a record number of warplanes into Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), as part of an ongoing aerial campaign around the island. On the same day, the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group (CSG) sailed north of the Philippines’ northernmost island of Luzon, according to publicly available ship tracking data. Luzon lies directly south of Taiwan.
Chieh Chung, a research fellow at the Association of Strategic Foresight in Taipei, Taiwan told Newsweek the Chinese warplanes likely took the opportunity to run a “simulated attack” on the U.S. aircraft carrier.
A map of the flight paths flown by the Chinese warplanes shows them flying directly southward, in the direction of Luzon, before cutting sharply west and then turning back northward. All of the groups of Chinese warplanes Taiwan’s military tracked flew these southward U-shaped runs — which resemble an aircraft carrier.
The Ministry of Defense for the Republic of China, the formal name for the Taiwanese government, tweeted, “25 PLA aircraft (Y-8 ASW*2, KJ-500 AEW&C, J-10*4, J-16*14 and H-6K*4) entered #Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ on Apr. 12, 2021.”
The number of Chinese warplanes included 14 J-16 fighter jets and four J-10 fighter jets, as well as four H-6K bombers, two Y-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft and a KJ-500 airborne early warning and control aircraft.
A total of 25 Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft flew around Taiwan on Monday, setting a record for the most ever Chinese warplanes around Taiwan.”
