Who said anything about being the same? Israel is the worst offender in the world.

China is planning for an invasion of Taiwan, so they're certainly putting together a backup plan in case Taiwan doesn't agree to become part of China. Doesn't seem like they'd need that sort of thing if they were being truly peaceful.

It's also things like your analysis being "flies a plane near a country" that is a sign you aren't being adequately critical of china and I question your seriousness and reasons.

I mean, seriously, look at this map and tell me how you consider this "peaceful":

Yes, a backup plan for a potential case of Taiwan being used as a static US aircraft carrier against it in a war. You remember that they're still at war, right? No peace treaty was ever signed between the KMT and the CPC.

Look at your own source:

Shortly after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's arrival in Taipei, China announced plans to hold live-fire drills

It's almost as if the drills are a response to something other than just Taipei not yet being willing to re-unify.

I also note that the bright red symbols on the mark connote a sense of urgency and yet this is from 2022. Obviously the invasion must be happening any day now...

The map also references other drills from 1995-1996 which I note are denoted as "Third Taiwan Strait Crisis"... If they were at 3 crises by 1996, I can't imagine how many crises we've had since, considering liberals have been unable to shut the fuck up about this for decades.

Please, calm down, you are being reactionary.

[–] ManixT@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Right. Reactionary. That must be why china is requiring that all civilian ferries are capable of RORO of tank sized vehicles and why they're building massive landing barges capable of handling landing on Taiwan's rocky coasts.

Taiwan has every right to be concerned with an invasion because it's what china keeps saying.

So, no, you don't get to wave your propaganda wand and make a very real issue go away.

"I'm not being reactionary!! They have a marine corps!! And invasion plans for the region held by the enemy resistance forces. They've said that they're committed to peaceful reunification and haven't attempted any invasions for decades despite many opportunities, but that's all just been an act, they're gonna invade aaaany day now!"

[–] ManixT@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You remind me of a Russian propagandist right before one of their invasions of Ukraine.

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some stupid people disagreed with you even when presented with evidence of Russia already having invaded Ukraine as recently as 2014. I am not those people. I am just looking at all of the history and propaganda on all sides with an understanding of international relations and I am seeing a very peaceful process considering this has been a civil war for decades.

[–] ManixT@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Let's both hope it never happens then. I'd rather be your friend than adversary.

China is planning for an invasion of Taiwan,

Yeah, they've been planning to invade next week for decades now...

[–] ManixT@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

I mean, they literally are planning for an invasion. Whether they will is up for debate, but they're definitely designing their naval fleet for it and performing exercises simulationing an invasion.
