CCP Sails a Carrier Through Taiwan Strait Hours Before Biden’s Meeting

Shortly before President Biden’s video conference call with CCP dictator Xi, a Chinese carrier sailed through the Taiwan straits. That’s another clear message to Biden not to interfere in whatever they do to Taiwan.

China plans to at some point seize democratically ruled Taiwan as its own territory. It’s been menacing them with threats, aircraft overhead, and spies infiltrating their politics and culture.

According to US News, a source with direct knowledge of the matter, who was not authorized to speak to the media and spoke on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the carrier Shandong sailed close to the Taiwan-controlled island of Kinmen, which sits directly opposite the Chinese city of Xiamen.

“Around 10:30 a.m. the CV-17 appeared around 30 nautical miles to the southwest of Kinmen, and was photographed by a passenger on a civilian flight,” the source said, referring to the Shandong’s official service number.

The USS Ralph Johnson, an Arleigh Burke guided missile destroyer, shadowed the carrier at least partly on its route. The Shandong did not have aircraft on its deck and sailed north through the strait, the source added.

Taiwan also sent warships to keep an eye on the situation, the source said.

Taiwan’s Defence Ministry, in a brief statement, confirmed the passage of the Shandong but gave no details other than to say its forces have a “full grasp” of what China’s ships and aircraft do in the Taiwan Strait.

Beijing maintains an “independent” stance on the Ukraine crisis, a spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, Zhao Lijian, said during a press conference on Friday. The remark came in response to threats made by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who warned China on Thursday that Washington would “impose costs” on it should Beijing choose to support Moscow.

Lijian stated that “on the Ukraine issue, China has always acted objectively and impartially and made independent judgments based on the merits of the matter itself.”

I laugh at how they troll Jo Jo knowing his asspuppetmasters won’t be doing anything!
They are in agreement with their CCP fellow traveler comrades.
This is why you don’t let potential compromised by blackmail candidates anywhere near the levers of power.
Don’t worry I won’t laugh or joke in the foxholes and trenches, only after the Big Battle.

China is not going to risk invading Taiwan and destroying Chip Manufacturing Plants. They are going to steal elections like they helped do in America and collapse Taiwan from within.

America should be producing energy at full capacity and building High Tech Factories, but the DC Beltway is bought and paid for by Chinese and WEF lobbyist. Within 3 years, expect the Yuan to be the World’s Reserve Currency. At that point, deficit spending will be too expensive for the Government to even consider. People will be really upset without free stuff. Brace for a Depression in 5 or 10 years that will last at least 25 years, and a very possible Civil War when the Big Blue Cities collapse.

Traitor Joe has single-handedly destroyed America and I think we are already beyond the point of no return. The People will want their pound of Flesh, but will be lucky to get 50 cents on the Dollar. This is what happens when you let Big Government run amuck and allow Academics to have influence in society. The Pound was collapsing as the Reserve Currency after WWI began. Just about 100 years ago we were in the same situation with the Wilson Administration and the last of the Robber Barons. We are coming to the end of the Tech Giants. As the Collapse of the Dollar begins we will see an economic explosion through currency manipulation as the Government fights to save the Dollar, then the Great Collapse and a long protected economic hangover. Paying off the Debt will have the same effect on the US Economy as paying war reparations did on the 1920s German Economy.
