China flexes its muscles with exercises around Taiwan. Let’s hope everything goes well …

Chinese People's Army helicopter flies over Taiwan's strip of land closest to People's China

Fortunately, of the seven Chinese reactions that we had foreseen, we are only at stage 2, that is, extensive exercises in the maritime area around Taiwan, aimed at tangibly confirming Beijing's position on the island issue, considered only as a sort of rebel province.

China has started large military exercises in the south and north of Taiwan, with the use of real ammunition weapons and the launch of missiles which, according to Beijing, have reached their intended destinations. The purpose of the exercises was not hidden: to test the tactics for the naval blockade of the island in practice. In reaction to the threat, Taiwan has alerted its armed forces. The armed forces of Beijing have flown over Taiwan's airspace several times, even with 20 fighters, and Chinese helicopters have stopped over the islands under Taiwan's sovereignty, but a few kilometers from China.

Despite the early warning, so far Taipei has not responded to the provocations, which for now have been limited to being such by the people's army. Even if for now the soldiers of the two armed forces remain calm, human or technical error is always around the corner and could cause an uncontrollable escalation.

These are the results of the parade made by Pelosi in Taiwan, which did not even impress local politicians. the Speaker of the House now continues his journey and then returns home, the citizens of democratic China still find themselves living a few hundred kilometers from the now more hostile mainland. Without considering the economic repercussions on the flourishing trade between the two sides, profitable despite the ideological differences, and always hoping that no one has an easy trigger. All to try to resurrect an American Democratic party that is heading towards a scorching electoral defeat.
