Chinas Militärmanöver rund um Taiwan

By Jordi Bou

August 3, 2022 - China wird großangelegte Militärmanöver und Raketentests in einer trotzigen Schau seiner Macht durchführen, nachdem House-Speaker Nancy Pelosi als höchstrangige Politikern in 25 Jahren der Insel einen Besuch abgestattet hat.

The military exercises could risk war in one of the world’s most dangerous flashpoints. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory and has long threatened to use force if Taipei refuses to submit to its rule indefinitely or if an external power interferes with its claim.

Three of the six zones Beijing has declared off-limits for exercises intrude into Taiwan’s territorial waters – a huge escalation.

The drills announced for later this week could amount to a blockade of a country whose economic lifeblood comes from exports and which is highly reliant on energy imports.
