Why things don't work, in China. Millions of people have purchased and paid for homes which will never be built. Say what! Well, the people who purchased, then sold them on.   So, these are losses which CANNOT be resolved. There is no way to sort it out. Revolution coming. Bye bye Xi.

China has launched several ballistic missiles into waters around Taiwan's north-east and south-west coasts, Taiwan says.

What you are bearing witness to HR is the international version of a toddler throwing his toys out of the play pen when he gets upset with his mommy for saying ----  screw you, I am going out on the grill and cook a burger for myself, and your goddamned Gerber's peas and spinach slop is going to have to wait, until I am goddamned good and ready to feed you, you little shit. Go ahead and piss your pants and see if I don't take my own sweet time about changing your diaper too.

When engaging in international relations, if a nation is not willing to walk into the Valley of the Shadow of Death and give the devil the finger, they have no business calling themselves a nation. Absent that, they become pasture for someone else's cows

It's less than tantrum. Simple stupid perhaps.

BBC are reporting, 'Did China fire missiles over Taiwan?
Speculation has been mounting that China may have fired missiles over Taiwan for the first time.

Beijing fired 11 ballistic missiles into waters around Taiwan's north-east and south-west coasts on Thursday, as part of its biggest ever military exercises in the region following Ms Pelosi's visit to the island.

Ballistic missiles are fired to an extremely high altitude and then follow an unpowered trajectory and gravity brings them onto their target.

There is no formal agreement on the altitude to which a territory's airspace extends, suggestions range from about 30km (19 miles) - the highest altitude at which aircraft fly - to 160km (100 miles).

Chinese state media reported on Friday that some of the missiles had flown over Taiwan. The military's Eastern Theater Command posted a TV interview where a professor at the National Defence University said that this was the first time a missile had crossed Taiwan.

However, there has been no official statement on this so far from either the Chinese or Taiwanese governments.

Japan's defence ministry first speculated that as many as four of the missiles flew over Taiwan. Five of them also landed in Japan's exclusive economic zone, its embassy in the US said.'

apan has confirmed overflights splashing in its waters.

In combination with NK, both Toddler states have offered their airspace as proving grounds for military systems to overfly. There are now multiple examples of this behaviour setting precedent and missiles can be launched across China. That will obviously help them test air defences.

Taiwan and Japan are perfectly within rights to shoot the things down. It would be fun to see how well China does. Of course over flight of Russia is perfectly justifiable now.

Worked out well.

Dear Peeps of Moscow. We are testing our defensive missile capability and launching 217 stealth cruise flights to cross your terrain overflying your city. They carry no warhead but do take photos of everything. Please demonstrate your support for these missions by laying out 'Z' on roofs and in gardens. We can then identify you friendly. We would ask Mr Putin to use 'X'.

What would an attack on Taiwan look like? Short of an amphibious assault on the island, there are a variety of options open to China. It might try to weaken the Taiwanese economy, isolate Taiwan militarily, or break its citizens’ will to resist. Other possible scenarios include missile exercises that would prevent shipping from reaching Taiwan, the implementation of a Cuban-style quarantine, or the taking-over of Pratas and Taiping islands in the South China Sea. A recent illumination by The Spectator.

I wonder how effective a wing of A-10U Thud II's willbe in Ukraine. It would certainly expose Russian air defence to counters.

But enough of this as South Korea gets its KF-21 into the AIr test Pilot Hun Glo described the mission 'Sweet & Sour', like prawn balls in brandy.

Well, this is the crux, the Taiwan Strait lays in the South China Sea. Which the Chinese say is part of their waters. The USA see it different, they and many more, say that this area is international waters, so I guess that it is a sea grab by the Chines in an effort to control this part of the sea and subjugate Taiwan in the process, so if they try and surround Taiwan and blockade the island, would western nations and other pacific countries try to break this blockade? Would the Chinese actually fire on any vessels doing so?

[quincannon]

Seems to me Ian that your country faced a similar problem when Argentina tried a land grab on the Falkland Islands, a place traditionally held by Argentina as part of their country, which they refer to as the Malvinas. So look at what Britain did, with a lot of covert assistance from its allies. That is where the answer to your question lies.

The China Sea belongs to no country, except of course that portion that is determined to be coastal waters. China, in my opinion will not risk a fight with nearly everyone who depends upon those waters for trade, and freedom of the seas guarenteed by International Law.

Also do not overlook the fact that the Taiwanese Navy, while smaller, is not impotent, not to mention the Japanese and South Korean navies, which would not look kindly on such a Chinese move.

[yanmacca]

Well, I guess that the Falkland Islands have never been controlled or even owned by Argentina, their claim lies in the fact that the Spanish gave the islands to them, which is rubbish because it was first a Spanish colony, then they had to leave and we took over, not sure if the French had a hand in it too, but the Argentine flag had never flown over the islands until they invaded in force in 1982, but I can see some familiarities.
China might coheres the Taiwanese into a fight link  They may send military aircraft closer and closer until the Taiwanese shoot one down, then use it as a means to attack.

[herosrest]

Taiwan claims Mongolia and mainland China as its own. China, somehow, had Taiwan evicted from SC and took over their spot. Highly irregular and China is desperate to prevent the 'mistake' of them being given rights, being corrected. Communist China doesn't exist. They want to but have gone about it the wrong way. Exactly the same as getting their people to mortgage properties which are not yet built and pay the mortgage before their homes are built. Of course that brilliantly stupid exercise in trust has gone tits up, and the people want theirmoney back..... Trillions................. China is flucked....... beeeeeeg time. Mortgae thin air and pay for it before you have the rights to it. Let's get rich.

[herosrest]

China's solution to sold property which the builders cannot fund to completion. link So the people got organised and stopped paying their mortgages. China - clampdown, internet censored and huge exercise against Taiwan to avert attention, cause Global fear and keep Xi in Power. He's history but for the invisble ink drying. His nut jobs are running amok.....

[quincannon]

I does not matter who gave what to who, and who took over from whom Ian. Argentina thinks the Malvinas/Falklands are theirs and Great Britain thinks differently. Some people in Mexico think all the land south of the Arkansas River belong to them too. Them thinking that, and five bucks will buy your morning coffee at Starbucks. And just think we obtained most of that land the old fashioned way. We stole it.
