China's drills reflect 'gunboat diplomacy' to counter U.S.: Scholars

Taipei, March 1 (CNA) The Chinese military is engaging in "gunboat diplomacy" by holding unannounced live-fire drills near Taiwan as well as Australia and New Zealand to demonstrate its intent on counterbalancing the United States, scholars told CNA.

A zone was set up by the Chinese military in international waters about 40 nautical miles (74 kilometers) off the coasts of Kaohsiung and Pingtung County on Feb. 26 for "shooting exercises" without giving Taiwan prior notice, the Ministry of National Defense said that day.

Prior to that, on Feb. 21 and 22, three Chinese warships conducted a live-fire exercise in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand, also without notifying the authorities of the two Oceanian nations in advance, according to an Associated Press report.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

How is the media always able to locate "scholars" and "experts" for their stories? :pondering:
