Nimitz Group not leaving

China issued a direct threat to Australia, Australia didn't take that threat to well. There are major developments between china and Australia that isn't being aired in our media over here in the States, Australia also issued warnings about Taiwan to china. With Japan, Australia, South Korea in support of Taiwan including the smaller nations around the South China Sea, Biden would be in major trouble if he thrown Taiwan under the bus, I really think Australia is going to force Biden hand.

They aren't playing checkers, Mav.

First they will get their lackeys in other countries like Biden (Harris) and the mainstream media to demonize Taiwan just like they did with Trump and try to delegitimize the ROC government. Then other governments will start doubting the legitimacy of the ROC. Support for Taiwan will start evaporating. They won't make any moves until they have a "justification" that their lackeys can point to.

Taiwan Reports 13 Incursions By Chinese Air Force In One Day

During the final months of the Trump administration Chinese PLA military exercises near Taiwan grew as part of the tit-for-tat escalation of Washington moves in support of the self-declared Republic.

Lately Chinese jets have breached Taiwan's claimed airspace as part of ongoing 'show of force' maneuvers in the contested area. But on Saturday, a mere few days following President Joe Biden's entry into the White House, China's military undertook one of its biggest flyovers yet.

According to local press "Taiwan recorded no fewer than 13 incursions by Chinese military planes into its air defense identification zone (ADIZ) in a single day Saturday (Jan. 23), the most of any such incidents within one day so far this year." As Reuters adds, "Eight Chinese bomber planes and four fighter jets entered the southwestern corner of Taiwan’s air defense identification zone on Saturday, and Taiwan’s air force deployed missiles to 'monitor' the incursion, the island’s Defense Ministry said." Additionally, a Chinese Y-8 anti-submatine aircraft also entered Taiwan's ADIZ.

Taiwan reportedly scrambled its American-supplied fighter jets to "warn off" the Chinese formation.

"Airborne alert sorties had been tasked, radio warnings issued and air defense missile systems deployed to monitor the activity," a Taiwan military statement said.
