🧵 1) Map of activities & deployments of #US allies & #PLA forces in the #SouthChinaSea during #Balikatan2024 exercises April 26 - May 10

The Chinese military is closely watching the drills.

On May 1, two B-52H bombers from the Andersen Air Force Base (Guam) flew over the South China Sea, right over the islands disputed by China and Philippines.

The PLA responded by scrambling two Xian-11 fighters from the Yongxingdao airbase on the Paracel Islands and a Y-8 EW aircraft to monitor the American bombers.Image

3) However, a Japanese government official said Beijing does not have agreements with neighboring countries on the release of tritium from Chinese nuclear power plants, nor has it provided any explanations about the matter.

#THREAD: 1) It seems to me that #China has chosen a phased approach of limited military measures to squeeze #Taiwan here & there, on & off, pressure & release tactics, coupled with long term economic retaliation.

Southern Okinawa Japanese islands are also in China's crosshairs. Image
2) Here, the Global Times talks about #PLA military drill areas becoming a threat to #Taiwan's ports & shipping lanes, forming a blockade as a step to achieve reunification by force in the future.

Also a good way to test a US response.

3) This would be a calibrated approach, designed to hurt enough, but not too much that can trigger a war or US intervention.

But...... If Taiwan fires on Chinese forces to stop the blockade, then China has the excuse to go with full force, or could take small Taiwanese islands. Image
