#China is pursuing three roads to unification, not one, write Frederick Kagan and @DAlexBlumenthal on #Taiwan in @thehill. thehill.com/opinion/nation…
It seeks to persuade the Taiwanese people and the international community to accept unification peacefully. It seeks to coerce such acceptance through forceful means short of war. And it is preparing to compel unification through direct military action.
#Taïwan : comment la #Chine planifie l’invasion
Un plan obsède l’Armée populaire de libération (APL) en #Chine, sur lequel elle planche quotidiennement : « La campagne destinée à prendre Taïwan. Ce plan « hautement centralisé est mis à jour régulièrement » #geopolitics

Mao en 1949 avait demandé à ses généraux de se préparer à une intervention militaire US auprès de #Taïwan. Auj #Pékin s’attend à ce que les « ennemis séparatistes » taïwanais lui opposent une résistance redoutable.
L’APL prévoit d’engager entre 300 000 et 1 M de soldats 2/8

Le plan comprend 3 grandes phases sur 2 semaines avant la prise de #Taipei.
Phase 1 – blocus et bombardements – précédés de cyberattaques
Phase 2 – débarquement de forces amphibies sur les îles de Kinmen et Matsu, très proches de la côte chinoise, avant l’archipel des Penghu 3/8

🔴1/ La période de tension entre #Taïwan et la #Chine a suscité de nombreuses réactions sur le statut de l'île et sur les causes de la réaction de Beïjing. L'occasion de revenir sur quelques éléments historiques et géopolitiques de la "belle île".

NB: Gardez à l'esprit qu'il ne s'agit pas de faire l'histoire des relations entre le parti communiste chinois et le Kuomintang de la proclamation de la république en 1911 à celle de la république populaire en 1949, mais d'embrasser la singularité de l'ile de #Taïwan.
2/ Tout d'abord, sur le statut de l'île. Le mot Taïwan désigne spécifiquement le nom de la province, et désormais fixé de l'île comme entité géographique, et non un Etat souverain. En effet, le nom de l'entité politique qui administre l'île est "République de Chine"
"One implication of these criticisms is that the current tension could be diffused after a few months. Once #Beijing felt that it had sufficiently rebuked Pelosi and punished #Taipei, the tension could subside."theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
"We are not so optimistic. Pelosi’s visit was merely a trigger. The crisis reflects deeper issues in Sino-US relations. If they are not addressed, we expect more instability in the Taiwan Strait and the evolution of great power competition into great power conflict."
"In the past few years, policymakers, opinion leaders and members of the public in China have increasingly compared America to a “paper tiger”
How has life been in #Taiwan's capital Taipei on the third day of #China's ongoing military exercises around Taiwan? Largely relaxed, chilled, and unaffected. Most people here continue to live their lives and streets, parks and department stores are still packed with people.
I did my routine bike ride around one of the busiest urban parks in downtown Taipei earlier, seeing a group of senior citizens synchronizing with their instruments while parents taking kids out for some much-needed outdoor activities under the scorching sun.
On the surface, it does just feel like another normal Saturday, with the Jianguo flower market packed with busy home makers and famous drink stores and cafes packed with friends checking out the signature desserts.
The Taipei City Government should establish an International Affairs Department, and if I am fortunate enough to earn the Mayorship from the people of #Taipei, this will be a high priority.
In the past two days, @SpeakerPelosi of the U.S. House of Representatives visited Taiwan, capturing the attention of the international community, which in recent years has paid more and more attention to our country. /2
As the capital, Taipei City should play a more important role in Taiwan's global #engagement. /3

Schon seit Tagen hat #China scharf vor dem Pelosi-Besuch gewarnt und mit scharfen Konsequenzen bis hin zu "militärischen Maßnahmen" gedroht.
Es wurde spekuliert, dass chn.Luftwaffe den Pelosi-Flieger womöglich abfangen oder abdrängen könnte

Il viaggio di #Pelosi a #Taiwan (thread in aggiornamento)
Visitare Taiwan senza mettere in difficoltà Joe #Biden. Non venire meno ai propri intenti senza provocare una crisi internazionale. Evitare di pestare i piedi a Pechino, senza per questo prendere ordini dalla Cina.

The World Is Fed Up With China’s Belligerence
Democracies are less worried about offending a fragile Beijing.
Today, Beijing represents a frowning, finger-pointing, never-erring crank, its constant vitriol diminishes the effectiveness of Chinese anger.

2/ Not long ago, Beijing was economical & targeted with its outrage, only lashing out over major issues.
“Now China just picks fights out of arrogance and bullying.”
After all, if most moves are likely to anger Beijing, why hold back from any of them?

Some positive news from #Taiwan's #COVID19 epicenter Taipei. Mayor @KP_Taipei said earlier in the press conference that following the high compliance from citizens, the outbreak in the original hotspot Wanhua has eased even though ...cna.com.tw/news/firstnews…
... the outbreak in other districts has increased slightly. He said while the total number of cases hasn't had an obvious drop based on the rate of positive test results, he thinks Taipei's overall outbreak is now under control.
However, Ko also warned that any slip of attention among citizens could trigger the outbreak to get out of control once again. He said the current disease prevention measures need to be maintained until at least 70% of the citizens are vaccinated.
