Beijing mobilises invasion craft along coast as Taiwan tensions escalate

South China Sea: Beijing mobilises invasion craft along coast as Taiwan tensions

https://www.news.com.au/world/asia/s...63090cd2a50f92

"As tensions between Taiwan and China continue to escalate, satellite images reportedly show amphibious armoured vehicles and mobile missile launchers massing at military bases near the island nation.

Though Taiwan, a country of 25 million people, is happy as an independent democracy, Beijing insists it is a “breakaway province” and “inviolate” Chinese territory, repeatedly stating it will use force to bring the island back under China’s control.

Now the images have shown the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) moving the military vehicles into the Eastern Theatre Command on China’s coastal cities across the strait from Taiwan, with missile launchers well within range to hit any targets in Taiwan...."

It's all sabre rattling - until somebody jumps.
