Taiwan threat from China serious, House GOP chairman says
WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the House Select Committee on China said Saturday the U.S. must take seriously the threat posed to Taiwan, as Beijing launched military drills around the island in the aftermath of the Taiwanese president’s meetings with American lawmakers.
Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., who attended the meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen in California last week, told The Associated Press that he plans to lead his committee in working to shore up the island government’s defenses, encouraging Congress to expedite military aid to Taiwan.

China sends warships and aircraft around Taiwan for second day
China sent warships and aircraft near Taiwan for a second day on Friday and said the island remains its “inseparable part”, after President Tsai Ing-wen angered Beijing by meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Three Chinese warships sailed in waters surrounding the self-ruled island, while a fighter jet and an anti-submarine helicopter also crossed Taiwan’s air defence identification zone (ADIZ), said the defence ministry in Taipei.
Tsai returned on Friday after visiting Taiwan’s dwindling band of official diplomatic allies in Latin America, with two US stopovers that included meetings with McCarthy and other lawmakers.
“We let the international community see that Taiwan is more united when facing pressure and threats,” she told reporters, describing her trip as a success.

the body of water that is held back by the hoover dam is approaching what is called a “dead pool” status, which means that it is a dead body of water and will not recover.
i have been watching this situation for several years, and it is steadily getting worse.
in the following video, the title says that the water level is rising and that the reason for the rise will blow your mind.
but guess what? this video is a fake propoganda… the water level is not rising, but instead in the video they say that the level is “expected” to rise by the end of this year.
it is simply wishful thinking and the water level will not rise.
if and when lake mead goes dry, the entire southwest of the united states will lose it’s primary source of fresh water, which means that there will be no water for farmers to raise crops and there will be no water to drink.
water is one of the most important resources that is required for humans and animals and plants to live.
No such thing as bad publicity?
There will always be a debate over which country is the most corrupt because some countries have made it legal for corruption, like Lobbying, which is a fancy name for corruption who support politicians / legislators in those countries with billions of dollars to help their objective
your slip is showing.
Your comprehension of international corruption is demonstrating
india is a slum that is overflowing with rats and sht in the streets.
Corruption is Legal in America
Can we at least stop calling it lobbying and start calling it corruption
corruption is legal in every country.
what is justice to one man is another man’s corruption.
it only depends on which side of the table you are on.
some people “lobby” politicians to “save the rain forests”, and i fail to see that as a corruption.
while other people “lobby” politicians to allow them to strip forests of their trees for profit, but i do see that as corruption.
what do you propose as an alternative instead of allowing people to call on politicians to bring about changes?
The point is corruption is legal in countries that call it lobbying, happens worldwide, how much we will never know
please provide an alternative to allowing people to call on politicians.
the same way you call it corruption in other countries
what is the alternative to the current system?
as you stated
you stated that corruption is legal as a result of lobbying.
i am suggesting that you do not know an alternative.
so why are you only pointing out corruption in asia with no alternative when it’s goes on worldwide as you stated
