Chinese State Media Publishes 'Three-Stage' Plan For Invasion...
The Chinese state-controlled magazine "Naval and Merchant Ships" published an article detailing a three-stage plan to invade Taiwan, involving ballistic missiles, fighter jet attacks, and amphibious landings on Taiwan's beaches. Tensions continue to flare in the region, as Chinese fighters have been breaching Taiwanese airspace almost daily for months now.
The US and Japan have been reportedly holding joint military exercises, and the magazine article is believed to possibly have been a subtle way of responding on China's part, according to The US Sun.
The US is a staunch ally of the nation of Taiwan, and a defensive pact between the two nations was enacted many decades ago, on March 3, 1955. It was replaced with a less-intensive agreement called the Taiwan Relations act in 1979, which remains in effect to this day.
