As reported earlier, President Joe Biden is facing increasing tests from China in his first two weeks in office, in the form of aggressive military actions in the South China Sea. This includes a large number of Chinese military aircraft entering Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) three days after his inauguration, a simulated air attack on the U.S. aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt nearby, and now even more Chinese military aircraft swarming the area.

At one point in the past two days, both U.S. and Chinese military aircraft were in the same area in Taiwan’s ADIZ, noted Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense.

As The Drive reported:

“Airborne alert sorties had been tasked, radio warnings issues, and air defense missile systems deployed to monitor the activity,” Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense said in each case. Interestingly, it also said that an unspecified U.S. military ISR aircraft, along with two aerial refueling tankers, had also been operating somewhere within the ADIZ on Feb. 1 and another American ISR aircraft had been inside the zone on Jan. 31, all with the apparent consent of the Taiwanese military. The Jan. 31 notice appears to be the first time ever Taiwanese authorities have specifically noted the presence of American military aircraft inside the ADIZ.

…U.S. and Taiwanese military forces regularly engage with each other, including during training exercises on the island, but do so, generally, in a discreet manner, with few, if any public acknowledgments from either side. There has been a marked shift toward more public discussions about this cooperation in recent years, as former President Donald Trump’s Administration sought to expand the U.S. government’s relationship with authorities in Taipei.

The Drive adds: “This recent flurry of Chinese military aircraft sorties into this particular part of the South China Sea follows a notable uptick in such activity that first became apparent in the latter half of January.” This of course coincided with the days after President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

I have noted numerous times, President Trump had dramatically ramped up public support for our beleaguered Taiwanese ally and had approved a number of very significant arms deals for the Taiwanese military, including offensive missiles for first time in 40 years, and the sale of new F-16C/D Viper jet fighters, which Beijing had previously warned was a “red line” for them.

As such, this increasingly provocative behavior is clearly meant to test the resolve of the new Biden administration over its support for Taiwan, in contrast to Team Trump. It is also meant to show Beijing’s resolve in increasingly challenging the U.S. under the new administration.

    1. That’s exactly “why” they meddled in last year election to get him in….did you watch Mike Lindell’s video yet explaining How they did it, how it was done overall….???

    1. Don’t confuse being a traitor with a weakling. His weak actions are do to complicity with our enemies, both foreign and domestic.

    2. Oh there was plenty action alright. Check their Bank Balances! ISIS, giving Nukes to NK, money to Iran, Palestine and the murder of millions besides children being smuggled an dabused

  1. biden is a punk that’s why there doing this china’s out of control if our President Donald J Trump was still President they wouldn’t try it

        1. Correct John. Military are in control now and they only take orders from their True Commander in Chief Donald J. Trump. He never left, only left Washington which is a hotbed of corruption and skullduggery. Trust the plan God wins

  2. Unfortunately it is NOT very difficult since we all know that he is a puppet for his handlers and a certain vp…..

  3. “China Just Made Biden Look Like a Weakling” is not as helpful a title as ‘China’s Live Demonstration That Biden is NOT at the Helm of the US and Its Military.’

  4. And that is what HE is, it is what it is. When China decides the time is right, this country will be begging for President Trump to PLEASE COME BACK!!!!

  5. Fraudulent Screamin’ Joe Biden IS weak. He was a Senator. Like Obama, he has never held a position that required him to make important decisions. He was one of 100 Senators and his votes held 1/100 of the responsibility for the results.

  6. I feel that My Son is in for a busy four years in the USAF. I wish we still had Trump at the Helm. China and our other adversaries did not what to expect from Trump, immediate strike back was ALWAYS on the table. Do not think our new resident at the White House is not making any of the decisions so Immediate action in our current situation is not even possible. Iran is already rocking the boat, N Korea is just waiting for their right moment, most likely when Biden is looking some place else. And Russia is Always unpredictable on a good day. They do not care as much as who is in the big chair here. If it suits their plan…

  7. Obiden has as much resolve as a turd going down the toilet and about as much brains too. His Chinese pay masters tell him how far to put up a public front of resolve to their liking. I’m afraid we are in deep Do Do! Amazes me that some clown in D.C. is claiming cops are national security risk and will wipe out black people. So they need to get rid of cops. I don’t think so. Sounds like this fool (Black woman) is trying to start a race war. BACK the BLUE! Keep Pushing Democraps, the worms are waking up.

  8. No surprise !!!! This is exactly why China wanted Trump out of the White House.!!! Russia, and Iran too….let’s not forget North Korea..they all wanted Trump gone…Even countries that were suppose to be our allies were doing all they could, to get Trump out….they will be sorry because if America goes down so will they…Their economies depend on the USA…

  9. Biden is a weak and scared little weasel. He always has been. Now China will just roll over him like just a bump in the road, and he will let them.

  10. WE KNOW DAMN WELL LUCIFER JOE OS GOING TO GET IN BED WITH THIS X I THUG AND MAKE THIS COUNTRY AN SUBSIDEARY TO CHINA AS HE HAS RECEIVED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OD MONEY WITH HIS USELESS SON IN DEVIOUS WAYS AND CHINA HAS HIM BY THE TAIL!

  11. Xiden stand up to Putin or Xi or Kim Jong or Rouhani? Not a chance that they wouldn’t see him as a pushover-a weak, demented, doddering old fool. And if Hyena Harris steps up? Even worse. She has no international or foreign policy education or experience. Mincemeat.
    Iran and China are already telling Xiden what to do. I’m sure treasonous Lurch is pushing for them, too.

  12. In Beijing Biden’s own Words of Contradicting statements, China is not a Threat, China’s Going to eat our lunch! Well joey which do we believe one , two , or None !

  13. How do you thin LYING Biden got in The White House???? He made a deal w/ China & sold our great country out! THAT IS HOW!!!

  14. I guarantee the U.S. will not formally declare war on China, nor will U.S. military strikes occur on mainland China as a “Preemptive Strike” measure. Our military is not staffed, trained or willing to engage in a true shooting war against an enemy that can and will fight back. China also has nuclear weapons, and they won’t hesitate to use them if there is no other recourse. I have always maintained that what the Chinese do best is make more Chinese. They can also make their people fanatics, and their resolve will be devastating to our forces.
