Chinese Military rhetoric on Taiwan is increasingly aggressive

🇨🇳🇹🇼 “Anyone who dares to separate Taiwan from China will be shattered and destroyed.”

Wow. The Chinese has adopted our tactic of using the military as a big part of their foreign policy. Its a bit disappointing. I admired that about them. They seemed to have had a firm wall between the military and diplomacy. Let's face it. Warriors make war. Diplomats make peace. Of course that's assuming you're not involved in total war or a war for the survival of the state. Long story short. The warrior diplomat was always a lie. To see China picking that path on the Taiwan issue means to me that they're gonna make a run at taking that island. The messaging is too intense now, the naval/air activity is too targeted and all indications point to some type of action MOST definitely by their leader's 2027 date.
