About time someone confronted China with some meaning. Enough of this Chamberlain approach to geopolitical issues when China is as brazen as they come. Economically, militarily and covertly.
Strengthen alliances with Japan, Taiwan and S Korea, deal with China and all nations who have exploited America for decades with not even a peep from American leadership.
This also sends a message to China, "we care little of your military and if you intervene in N Korea we have the firepower to deal with it"
God Bless the U.S military. This would would be a much darker place to live without them!
Chinese media decries US' 'psychological games' as Navy ships sail Taiwan Strait passage
The Chinese Communist Party-affiliated newspaper on Monday condemned the passage of a pair of U.S. Navy ships through the Taiwan Strait as a “psychological game” amid the showdown over trade and relations with Taiwan.
The Global Times editorial warned that the U.S. is increasing tensions by sailing the Japan-based guided missile destroyers USS Mustin and USS Benfold through the strait that divides Taiwan and China.
The U.S. is “sending political signals by sending warships through the Taiwan Strait,” read the editorial, headlined as “U.S. psychological game in Taiwan Strait.”
Both Taiwan and the U.S. confirmed the ships’ passage over the weekend. The Chinese government, which cut off all diplomatic relations to the small island in 2016, claimed for decades that Taiwan is part of China’s territory and will use force to conquer it if needed.
Beijing also criticized the U.S. efforts to foster the relationship with the Taiwanese government and its president Tsai Ing-wen, including the opening of a new office complex for the American Institute in Taiwan that works essentially as Washington’s informal embassy due to the absence of formal diplomatic ties since 1949.
