Sending an intimidating wing of warplanes over Taiwan, the Peoples Republic of China [PRC] served notice to 78-year-old President Joe Biden that all the China bashing at the G7 and NATO summits carry consequences. Chinese President Xi Jinping is up to his eyeballs with insults coming the U.S. and European Union [EU], accusing Beijing of bullying nations around the Pacific Rim, especially militarizing the South China Sea, building airstrips on shallow waters in the disputed Taiwan Strait, only five miles from Mainland China. But let there be no mistake, Beijing has responded to the March 18 summit in Anchorage, Alaska, where 58-year-old Secretary of State Tony Blinken and 44-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan insulted Chin’s senior diplomats, accusing Beijing of committing “genocide” on Muslim Uyghurs in Xinjiang province and a crackdown in Hong Kong.
Flying fighter jets and nuclear capable bombers over the Taiwan Defense Identification Zone [ADIX] June 15 was the larges incursion of the Chinese air force since Chaing Kai-shek fled to the Island of Formosa after the 1949 Maoist Revolution. China’s reacting harshly after a G7 joint communiqué complained about China’s actions against Muslim Uyghurs, Hong Kong protesters and impinging on Taiwan’s rights. Beijing called the G7 communique “slander,” ordering the Chinese air force in an aggressive flyover Taiwan. China considers Taiwan a breakaway republic that’s part of Mainland China. U.S. has supported Taiwan militarily since pro-democracy Chinese fled to Formosa after the Maoist Revolution. Sending 14 J-16 and six J-11 fighter
jets and four H-6 nuclear capable bombers over Taiwan airspace was Beijings way of telling off the G7 and Pentagon.
Beijing’s flyover was the largest show-of-force since April 12, when the Chinese air force sent 25 aircraft to intimidate Taiwan, but, most importantly, to send Washington as shot across the bow. Yesterday’s incursion breached Taiwan airspace, actually flying hostile aircraft over the Southern tip of Taiwan in a brazen move designed to let Washington know Beijing didn’t like getting slammed at the G7. “In response to the growing PRC threat, we will continue deepening out unofficial security relationship to ensure Taiwan has sufficient capabilities to defend itself,” said a senior U.S. official, further antagonizing Bejing. U.S..statements agree with a one-China policy, meaning the Washington only recognizes Beijing, not Chinese Taipei. U.S. signed the Taiwan Relations Act in 1979, serving notice that the U.S. recognizes only Beijing as the sovereign Chinese state.
Taiwan Relations Act nullified the 1954 Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty, assuring protection of Taiwan in the event of a Mainland Chinese invasion. After President Richard Nixon signed his joint-communique with Beijing in 1972, it ended the 1954 Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty. Former President Jimmy Carter signed the Taiwan Relations Act, making it officials that the United States recognizes only Beijing. But whatever the current situation, Beijing was furious that the G7 ganged up on China enough to put Beijing’s aggressive behavior into the G7 joint communiqué. Sending Chinese aircraft over Taiwan was Beijing’s way to express disapproval of the G7 criticism of China. China’s air force increase China’s “increasing military activities conducted in the vicinity of Taiwan are destabilizing and increase the risk of miscalculation,” said the unnamed White House official.
China’s aggressive response to Taiwan indirectly relates to Biden’s May 26 order that U.S. intel agencies get to the bottom of what created the deadly novel coronavirus. China and its apologists the World Health Organization [WHO] insist that the virus occurred naturally in Wuhan, China, starting what’s become the worst infectious disease crisis since the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic that killed up to 100 million worldwide. China has reacted angrily to growing evidence that the deadly virus was engineered in a Wuhan Institute of Virology [WIV] lab, with its chief scientist Shi Zhengli experimenting on harmless bat-coronaviruses, morphing them into contagious pathogents trough gain-of-function research. China doesn’t want to accept responsibility for creating the Covid-19 global pandemic that’s infected 177,781,181 killing 3,847,972 worldwide, 617,141 in the United States.
China’s aggressive moves in the Taiwan Strait indicate that Beijing doesn’t like global criticism for its foreign relations, and, more recently, trying to cover up its role in creating the most deadly infectious disease crisis in more than 100 years. China doesn’t like when world democracies complain about its human rights violations, especially when it comes to Muslim Uyghurs in Western China, pro-Democracy protesters in Hong Hong, and democracy-minded citizens of Taiwan. When it comes to the deadly novel coronavirus, China doesn’t like when it can’t control the global narrative about the origin of the virus. China got themselves into hot water when Chinese Foreign Minister Spokesman Zhao Lijian blamed the U.S. military for planting the deadly virus in Wuhan, something entirely inconsistent with their narrative that the virus occurred naturally in a Wuhan wet or seafood market.
