US deeply concerned over Taiwan-China tension

With China Joe running the show; this will eventually IMO lead to a disaster. Sullivan stated that the US is going to take action now --- what action??

US deeply concerned over Taiwan-China tension

The US is "deeply concerned" about actions that undermine peace across the Taiwan Strait, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan has told the BBC.

His comments come after China sent a "record number" of military jets into Taiwan's air defence zone for four days in a row, in a public show of force.

Taiwan considers itself a sovereign state - but China views the island as a breakaway province.

Beijing has not ruled out the possible use of force to achieve unification.

"We are going to stand up and speak out, both privately and publicly when we see the kinds of activities that are fundamentally destabilising," Mr Sullivan told the BBC's diplomatic correspondent James Landale in Brussels on Thursday, a day after meeting China's top diplomat Yang Jiechi.

Asked whether the US was prepared to take military action to defend Taiwan, Mr Sullivan said: "Let me just say this, we are going to take action now to try to prevent that day from ever coming to pass."........

Somebody better be watching Gen. Milley. He assured his comrades in the CCP (through 'backchannels') that he would warn them if America is preparing anything military toward China. Milley is the Chinese representative in the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

The stakeholder politicians, media and corporate Titans in the US are “deeply troubled” any conflict in the east may upset their rice bowls.

@240B

Don't worry about Miss Milley.

Worry about the Chinese suddenly buying Hunter Biden paintings.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

They won't stop at Tawain; the U.S.A. is next. We will be playing defense.
