“#Facing down China\u2019s threat to invade Taiwan<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n As if 2020 needed to get uglier, the Chinese Communist Party is loudly threatening to invade Taiwan, its democratic and self-ruled neighbor.<\/p>\n

Beijing has been increasing the militarization of its shores off Taiwan, upgrading its missile bases and deploying its most advanced hypersonic missile, the DF-17, to the area, the South China Morning Post reports.<\/p>\n

The Communists believe they own Taiwan and have long threatened to take it \u201cback\u201d by force if provoked. Yet Beijing\u2019s doing all the provoking here.<\/p>\n

Since early September, China has been running near-daily military air exercises and patrols in the Taiwan Strait \u2014 some with more than 30 combat aircraft and half a dozen ships. It\u2019s the most aggressive and blatant show of intimidation in nearly 25 years.<\/p>\n

In response, Taipei is feverishly bolstering its defenses. And it\u2019s getting help from Washington: On Monday, the Trump administration app<\/a>roved nearly $2.4 billion in arms sales, including up to 100 Boeing-made Harpoon Coastal Defense Systems and 400 Harpoon Block Surface Launched Missiles.<\/p>\n

That follows deals last week for a total of $1.8 billion that include 135 Boeing-made air-to-ground cruise missiles, 11 Lockheed Martin truck-mounted rocket launchers and six MS-110 reconnaissance pods for Taiwan\u2019s fighter jets.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hope Taiwan\u2019s determination, and clear US support, gets Beijing to back down.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
