Rumors of War

Taiwan holds drills to fend against invasion amid China tensions - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Taiwan held drills simulating the repelling of invading forces on Wednesday, as the country prepared to conduct joint drills with the United States amid rising tensions with China. [...] Taiwan's military is expected to conduct more activities that could anger China, including plans to take part in U.S. naval exercises in the Solomon Islands in August, according to Taiwanese media."

Comment: Taiwan remains a flashpoint, one that could easily convulse major powers into armed conflict. I'm convinced that China has a long-term plan to annex Taiwan and unless something changes, that would mean war.
