The world isn't playing around, meanwhile we have less patriotism in the West than in any time in history.

Taiwan cannot feel comfortable. This is precisely as China wants it.

China sends warplanes, boats around Taiwan following phone call between Xi and Biden

Following a phone call between President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping, dozens of Chinese warplanes and naval vessels were reported making incursions into Taiwanese territory.

Dozens of Chinese warplanes and multiple naval ships were reported around the island of Taiwan this week, the largest coordinated display this year.

At least 30 planes and nine ships were detected in Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) by the country's Ministry of National Defense (MND).

"30 PLA aircraft and 9 PLAN vessels operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. 20 of the aircraft entered Taiwan’s northern, middle line, and SW ADIZ," the Taiwanese MND announced via social media. "[Republic of China Armed Forces] have monitored the situation and employed appropriate force to respond."

"The Republic of China" is the official name of Taiwan, compared to its mainland, communist contemporary, the People's Republic of China.

The coordinated display of military force by the People's Liberation Army around Taiwan followed a phone call between leaders of the People's Republic of China and the United States.

President Biden held a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday – the first time the two have spoken since July 2022.

Biden at his very best was an idiot... now he is a senile idiot... he will get us in a world war...

I suspect the call went something like this:

It would be OK....If it did not get worse.

This appears to be China reacting to US arms being shipped to Taiwan and China's threat to shoot down American aircraft when they enter Taiwan's territory. I suspect that America will hesitate this time.

Due to the situation for America's war against Russia, the time is right for China to stand firm.

What did Biden say and why isn't it being made public information?

BEIJING, Jan 24 (Reuters) - The United States Navy sailed its first warship through the sensitive Taiwan Strait on Wednesday following presidential and parliamentary elections on the island, drawing the ire of Beijing.
The U.S. Navy said the destroyer USS John Finn transited through a corridor in the Taiwan Strait that was "beyond the territorial sea of any coastal state".
"John Finn's transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the United States' commitment to upholding freedom of navigation for all nations as a principle," the U.S. Navy said in its statement.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan has commissioned two new navy ships as a safeguard against the rising threat from China, which has been ratcheting up its naval and air force missions around the island that it claims as its own territory to be annexed by force if necessary.
The pair of Tuo Chiang class corvettes completes the first order of six of the domestically produced catamarans with stealth capabilities. The ships are relatively small, capable of carrying just 41 sailors and officers, but are fast and highly maneuverable and carry a range of missiles and deck guns aimed at countering larger Chinese vessels and rocketry.
Outgoing President Tsai Ing-wen oversaw the commissioning on Tuesday at the northern port of Suao, emphasizing her push to revitalize Taiwan’s defense industries, alongside extensive arms purchases and support from key ally the United States.
