🇭🇰🇨🇳 SCMP | Philippine election: US or China? What Marcos and Robredo want for Manila’s foreign policy | 7-05-22

🇨🇳🇹🇼❗️ — The Ministry of National Defense of Republic of China (Taiwan) reports that 3 PRC's People's Liberation Army Aircraft (WZ-10 Attack and KA-28 ASW*2 Helicopters) entered Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ on May 10, 2022, crossing the cross strait’s median line today.

🇬🇧🌹 The Guardian | Beijing orders ‘stress test’ as fears of Russia-style sanctions mount | 4-05-22
— "Concerned about sweeping Russia-style sanctions from the west, Beijing has ordered a comprehensive “stress test” to study the implications of a similar scenario for its economy, the Guardian has learned.

According to a person with direct knowledge of the matter, an extensive exercise began around late February and early March when western allies imposed unprecedented sanctions against Moscow. Several key Chinese government agencies – from banking regulation to international trade – have been asked to come up with responses if the west imposed the same embargos on to China.

“Those involved in this exercise use how Russia was treated as a baseline for China’s own policy response should it be treated in a same fashion by the west,” the person added. “This stress test involves a range of methodology, including modelling.”"

🇺🇸🇹🇼🇨🇳❗️ — On May 8, 2022, it was noticed by Netizens and Observers that the United States State Department has REMOVED from their website the fact they, the United States Government, recognize that they recognize the One-China Principle, thus the recognition that the territory of Formosa Island, where the 🇹🇼 Republic of China (ROC/Taiwan) is based on, is part of 'China', that is, the 🇨🇳 People's Republic of China, (the Mainland China, the PRC) and that part that they, the United States Government, don't support the Taiwanese Independence Movement

🇭🇰🇨🇳 SCMP | China tells US it will not be scared off by sanctions over Taiwan | 7-05-22
— "The United States will face “unimaginable consequences” if it plays the Taiwan card and Beijing will not be intimidated by sanctions like those on Russia, a Chinese foreign vice-minister has said.

Le Yucheng told an online security forum on Friday evening that it was “ridiculous” to blame China for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and accused the US of sacrificing Ukraine for its own geopolitical interests.

China has been criticised for not condemning Russia’s invasion, and the US and its allies have expressed concern over the security of Taiwan, which Beijing considers a breakaway province be to reunified with the mainland – by force if necessary"

🇨🇳☭ Global Times | PLA's Y-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft resumes patrols around Taiwan island | 4-05-22
— "A Y-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) reportedly conducted a maritime patrol mission near the island of Taiwan on Tuesday, two months since this type of aircraft last appeared in the region, amid speculation that an aircraft of this type had an accident in March.

The alleged accident has not been confirmed, but in any case, the Y-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft is now well prepared to carry out missions, at a time when external forces have been provocatively sending warships and submarines to the Taiwan Straits and the South China Sea, analysts said on Wednesday."
