Communist China has sent warships to the Taiwan Strait in an act of aggression against both Taiwan and the U.S. According to Tuesday reports, China has been holding assault drills involving warships and military jets near its maritime border with Taiwan.
Beijing claimed the drills came in response to unspecified “provocations” and “external interference.” In addition, Chinese state media reported Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan suggested the U.S. would not be willing to defend Taiwan from a potential Chinese invasion.
China also reiterated its intent to seize Taiwan sooner or later.
“No one should underestimate the strong determination, will and ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” expressed Spokesperson Hua Chunying of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China. “No matter how much weaponry the U.S. provides to Taiwan, it will never change the general trend of cross-strait relations, let alone stop the process of China’s reunification.”

I wonder how Red China will do it. An all out invasion would destroy too much of Taiwan's infrastructure but if all they're concerned about is finally having a totally unfettered access to the Pacific, that might not matter.
