China, having weakened the West with COVID, threatens Australia
2021-05-25
[AMERICANTHINKER] For anyone doubting whether China has Taiwan in its sights, a warning that the Global Times, a Chinese communist party media outlet, issued to Australia should set those doubts to rest. Having concluded that Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run....
is not a threat, China is busy letting other regional powers know that they had better not cross China. In response to Australia's participation in joint military exercises in the East China Sea, China's propaganda outlet threatened it with intermediate-range ballistic missiles.

Taiwan is a prosperous and free island located off the southeastern coast of China. The two countries are separated from each other only by the Taiwan Straits. Taiwan maintains that it is the legitimate government of China, while the Chinese Communist Party claims that it is a pretender nation. The CCP has long made known its desire to conquer Taiwan and bring it into the mainland fold.

For just as long, the United States has made it known that if China attacks Taiwan, the United States — and, indeed, much of the free world — will respond vigorously. Recent events, though, show that China no longer believes that America's anger — or anger from any other nations — is a hindrance to its imperialist goals.

In America, those holding political and economic power have already sold themselves to China. They are governing America as a Chinese colony, with China calling the shots on domestic policy. Biden sits at the top of this heap, having sold out to China for massive sums of money via his corrupt, moronic, drug-addicted, and debauched son.

Around the world, other nations, especially nations in China's geographic region, have fallen into China's debt thanks to its Belt and Road Initiative. And as is true in America, myriad Western nations have shifted their manufacturing sectors to China. A country like Australia makes practically nothing on its own anymore. It has a thriving housing industry but is dependent on China for everything manufactured.

And speaking of Australia, it recently joined with the U.S., La Belle France, and Japan to be part of a training drill — the Exercise Jeanne d'Arc 21 — in the East China Sea. China was incensed that one of the nations it now views as a vassal had the temerity to pretend it could be part of any military activity hostile to China. According to the Daily Mail, the party's mouthpiece, The Global Times, struck back with crude ferocity:

'The People's Liberation Army doesn't even need to make pointed responses to the joint drill since it's insignificant militarily,' the article said.

'Australia's military is too weak to be a worthy opponent of China, and if it dares to interfere in a military conflict for example in the Taiwan Straits, its forces will be among the first to be hit.

'Australia must not think it can hide from China if it provokes.

'Australia is within range of China's conventional warhead-equipped DF-26 intermediate-range ballistic missile.'
