China is portraying themselves as a force for stability (trade) in an increasingly uncertain world.
Today they have started yet more military exercises off Taiwan - they said this is to “serve as a stern warning and powerful deterrent against Taiwanese independence”.
The PLA released a poster “Closing in” with cartoon depicting military vehicles on the streets & aerial attacks on cities.
“The focus is on exercises such as combat readiness patrols at sea and in the air, seizing comprehensive control, striking maritime and land targets and imposing blockade controls on key areas and routes.” -Chinese military social media.
So perhaps a test for Pres Trump - would he support Taiwan or leave them to it?.
