WATCH: New China Training Video Demonstrates Beach Invasion of Taiwan

Over the decades, tensions have continued to build between Taiwan and China.

Taiwan used to rule over China before the Communist Party took over the country.

Taiwan has maintained its position of rulership over the mainland despite not having any actual control.

Whereas the CCP has claimed Taiwan to be a rightful part of mainland China.

Watch this new training video released by the CCP demonstrating their ability to perform a beach invasion:

As tensions begin to escalate all over the world.

With what seems to have been kicked off with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Many are asking themselves how long before China decides to exert its military force over Taiwan.

And in the event that Taiwan is invaded.

Where does the United States stand?

More from the Daily Mail:

A division of China‘s People’s Liberation Army that oversees the Taiwan Strait has released a video which appears to show its troops practising a coastal invasion of the self-governing island.

The PLA’s Eastern Theatre Command published the clip, which features a montage of soldiers storming beaches and driving tanks on dirt roads to a country-style Chinese ballad, on WeChat yesterday.

Though the post did not directly mention Taiwan, the Eastern Theatre Command regularly conducts military drills in the Taiwan Strait.

Meanwhile, the song featured in the video and the accompanying WeChat post were littered with evocative lyrics and phrases like ‘go over the city gate and the high wall’ and ‘no matter how dark it is, don’t be afraid… chase and win the warmest years’.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) sees Taiwan as a renegade province to be brought back under Beijing’s control – something the authoritarian president Xi Jinping has said he’s willing to do by force.

But Taiwan’s elected Democratic Progressive Party steadfastly argues it presides over a self-governing, democratic, capitalist society with overwhelming support from its people.

It comes as Russia and China launched warships to conduct patrols in the Pacific Ocean and perform rescue training and drills for countering air strikes, Moscow’s defence ministry said Friday.

And furthermore, from the Daily Mail:

Video released by Russian state news agency TASS showed nine large vessels sailing in a diamond formation as crew members stood to attention on deck.

The drills also included practising the ‘replenishment of fuel reserves by ships and the transfer of cargo on the go’, the defence ministry said, adding that the joint detachment of ships had covered more than 6,400 nautical miles since the start of the exercises.

‘A detachment of ships of the Russian Navy and the PLA Navy is currently operating in the waters of the East China Sea,’ said the ministry, referring to China’s People’s Liberation Army.

‘During this period, the sailors of the two countries conducted anti-submarine exercises, repulsed an air strike by a mock enemy, conducted rescue training at sea, and perfected the skills of taking off and landing helicopters on the decks of warships,’ the statement read.

Ties between Moscow and Beijing have grown closer in recent years, as prolonged fighting in Ukraine has shattered Russia’s relationship with Western governments.

A Chinese defence ministry spokesperson said on Monday that naval fleets of the two countries were conducting maritime patrols in western and northern regions of the Pacific Ocean.

‘These actions are not aimed at a third party and are not related to the current international and regional situation,’ the spokesperson added.

Last month, Taiwan held military and civilian conflict preparedness drills of its own as tensions with Beijing continue to mount.

The Han Kuang defence drills have been held annually since 1984, but this year’s war games were more intense than ever before.

In a blatant show of force ahead of Taiwan’s drills, China sent 37 aircraft and seven navy vessels around the island, according to the defence ministry in Taipei.

Among them were J-10 and J-16 fighters and H-6 bombers, and 22 of the detected warplanes crossed the midline of the Taiwan Strait – an unofficial boundary that had been considered a buffer between the island and mainland – or entered Taiwan’s air defence identification zone.

I believe The United States wouldn’t intervene with China and Taiwan.

Despite previously taking positions in support of Taiwan.

The United States economy is heavily reliant on Chinese exports.

Even though I and many others wish otherwise.

China of course, wishes the United States to cut off Taiwan so they can swiftly deal with them:

We again urge the US to:
stop all forms of official interaction with Taiwan
stop upgrading substantive exchanges with the region
stop conniving at and supporting separatist forces seeking “Taiwan independence” and
stop fudging and hollowing out the one-China principle. pic.twitter.com/S2yuEWwRdh

The Guardian has more on the story:

Neither the video nor the WeChat post mention Taiwan directly. But the Eastern Theatre Command, a division of the People’s Liberation Army, is based on China’s eastern coast and has responsibility for the Taiwan strait. It is the military division that periodically conducts drills around the self-governing island of Taiwan, which Beijing claims as part of its territory.

Last month, Xi Jinping, China’s president, toured the command’s headquarters in Nanjing and urged the military to improve its war readiness, while praising the “significant contributions” of the command in safeguarding China’s territorial integrity.

The post published on Thursday said Eastern Theatre Command soldiers were “ready to fight all the time, ready to fight at any time”.

I’m curious what you guys think might happen or should happen.

Is this video just China flexing its military might to the world? Or do they mean business?

If a conflict does arise, should the United States get involved?
