Bill Bishop reports — (Chinese) Eastern Theater Command Organizes Army, Navy, Air Force, and Rocket Forces to Conduct Joint Military Exercises Around Taiwan Island 东部战区组织陆海空火等兵力位台岛周边开展联合演训 news.cn/20250401/01ebd5f546944 Eastern Theater Command spokesperson, Senior Colonel Shi Yi of the Army, stated that beginning April 1, the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is organizing forces from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Rocket Force to conduct multi-directional approaches toward Taiwan Island in the surrounding areas. The exercises will focus on training in maritime and air combat readiness patrols, seizing comprehensive control, strikes against maritime and land targets, and blockading key areas and passages, to test the joint combat capabilities of the theater forces. This should be seen as a warning to Taiwan and the US & allies. #China #Taiwan #Asia #ChineseNavalThreat #ChineseMilitary #TaiwanStrait #SouthChinaSea #NavalBlockaid #NavalWarfare

I knew there'd be a step before! Most of the news makes it sound like #China are firing warning shots near #Australia out of nowhere for no reason.

I knew it wasn't out of nowhere!!!

So now I've find the step before: the navies of #Straya and #Aotearoa went on a little date together through the #TaiwanStrait (translation #Australia and #NewZealand sent two naval vessels through the Taiwan Strait) and that's why China's navy is now posturing near us. But WHY??? What the bloody hell was the point of that!? Apparently we were escalating China's trolling us in the #SouthChinaSea

Are the #Aussie military just blatantly baiting China to make China do something in response, so that then the #ADF can justify spending more of Australia's money on U.S.American weapons and have an excuse for following the goddamn yanks in to more long stupid pointless immoral imperial quagmires? #ForeverWar

I'm somewhat in favour of Australian supporting our neighbours in the #SouthChinaSea but FFS stick a great big "not our problem" sticker on #Taiwan !

Taiwan have the same population as Australia and the same GDP, but Taiwan spend half as much on their military as we do. And our lavish #yanklapdog force is increasingly aimed at a war in the goddamn North Pacific.

If Taiwan get attacked we should help refugees and give humanitarian aid. Democracy is nice but if we feel so strongly about #democracy we are LONG over due to dump the USA. Two political parties and zero chance for anyone else doesn't even do a plausible impersonation of a democracy!

If our navy want to do some self destructive political posturing we should go hang out for a bit in the Eastern Mediterranean, or maybe we could do something bloody constructive for a change and bring some food and medical supplies to Gaza ? "Sorry, this heavily armed ship was needed for the rough neighborhood, can we drop off this shipment of essential food and medical supplies?

I wish my country wasn't so embarrassing, but I suppose it could be a lot worse.

ABC listen · What is China doing off Australia's coast? - ABC listenThe last few weeks has had various reports of Chinese military exercises taking place off the coast of Australia. We have heard about planes diverting, apparent live-fire drills and confusion if a submarine is following along. But what is really going on and is this unusual?
