It's really simple, China is MUCH more than a competitor. They are a threat that U.S and Western businesses are arming. They intend to, and probably will succeed, in replacing the U.S dollar as the global standard and decimating U.S influence.
We either blunt China economically and make the difficult decisions now, or, kiss Taiwan, Japan, Australia and South China Sea goodbye. In fairly short order, we can then kiss our own asses goodbye and thank the "leaders" who oversaw this obvious, clear and present danger become a nightmare.
China isn't doing this for random entertainment. They are collecting information and have a goal, especially since July 1st of this year is the 100 year anniversary of the CCP. They intend to be around for another 1000 years, long after the West is in shambles.
Let's see who allows this to happen. China is winning on every front, as they provoke the West to destroy themselves domestically (with some help by media and politicians.
TAIPEI, March 26 (Reuters) - Twenty Chinese military aircraft entered Taiwan's air defence identification zone on Friday, in the largest incursion yet reported by the island's defence ministry and marking a dramatic escalation of tension across the Taiwan Strait.
The island's defence ministry said the air force deployed missiles to "monitor" the incursion into the southwestern part of its air defence identification zone. It also said its planes warned the Chinese aircraft, including by radio.
It marked the largest incursion to date by the Chinese air force since Taiwan's defence ministry began disclosing almost daily Chinese military flights over the waters between the southern part of Taiwan and the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands in the South China Sea last year.
Some of the Chinese aircraft flew in the airspace to the south of Taiwan and passed through the Bashi Channel which separates the island from the Philippines, Taiwan's defence ministry said in a statement.
A person familiar with Taiwan's security planning told Reuters the Chinese military was conducting exercises that would simulate an operation against U.S. warships that sail through the Bashi Channel.
China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory, has stepped up military activities near the democratic island in recent months, a move Taiwan says jeopardizes regional stability.
The presence of so many Chinese combat aircraft on Friday's mission - Taiwan said it was made up of four nuclear-capable H-6K bombers and 10 J-16 fighter jets, among others - was unusual and came as the island's air force suspended all training missions after two fighter jet crashes this week.
