China conducts live-fire military exercises around Taiwan

Several airlines have cancelled all flights to Taiwan as the Chinese military surrounded the island to conduct live-fire exercises

China is holding live-fire military exercises surrounding Taiwan following U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the self-governed island. Pelosi is the highest-level U.S. official to visit there since Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.

On Thursday several airlines have cancelled all flights to Taiwan as the Chinese military surrounded the island to conduct live-fire exercises.

Chinese authorities are furious over Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan, arguing it broke the U.S. one-China policy, which states that the U.S. acknowledges, but does not condone, China’s claim of sovereignty over the island.

It also states that the U.S. will not keep formal diplomatic ties with the government of Taiwan.

Meanwhile, back in Washington FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to Congress that China is America’s biggest threat.

Additionally, many military experts are warning that China could invade Taiwan soon and critics are slamming U.S. President Joe Biden for not taking a stronger stance against China.

To put this all in perspective, President Biden spoke publicly numerous times urging Russian President Vladimir Putin not to invade Ukraine but now, President Biden is nearly silent on China’s potential plans to invade Taiwan.
