A real Chinese blockade of Taiwan would be an act of war and have far-reaching consequences for international trade, Defense Minister Wellington Koo said on Wednesday after last week’s drills by China that practiced such a scenario.
Even for Western propaganda this is the mother of all nothingburgers. China performed routine wargames in its own territorial waters and sailed a carrier group within 100 miles of its own mainland, and somehow this is worth an article on.
At least they're not claiming the CPC violated Taiwan's airspace by flying over their own landmass again.
I'm always dumbfounded when I see American news about stuff happening in places with other countries' names on the damn things. "US Navy in standoff with Chinese ship in South China Sea." I know obviously countries don't own something just because of names, but like be serious. The US would carpet bomb anyone who parked a ship five miles off the coast of Hawaii.
