An alarm has sounded in the US military high command as for the first time there was a leak from China about the imminent start of an invasion of Taiwan..

There is a great uproar in the US over the sudden development. All indications are that D-Day for China and the US is dangerously close as the leadership of the US Navy and the Security Council are expected to meet on the deployment of aircraft carriers - and not only - to the region.

The next period of time is considered particularly critical. China has already launched a surprise mobilization aimed at a naval blockade of Taiwan.

#urgent China launches two days of military drills around Taiwan in what it calls “punishment” for “separatist acts,” days after Taipei swore in a new democratically elected leader. The exercises will encircle Taiwan & pose the first real test for the new President Lai Ching-te.

According to Chinese media, China's operations in Taiwan will begin in early June.

In fact, the Chinese media report - and this is the most important - that the information comes from sources in the Chinese Ministry of Defense...

The large-scale exercise "United Sword 2024" began today. Before it began, the Chinese Foreign Ministry asked the United States to refrain from organizing visits by members of Congress to Taiwan.

In addition, AFP published a quote from Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin addressing Taiwan.

"Taiwan independence forces will be left with broken heads and spilled blood after the conflict. China will achieve full unification," AFP quoted a Chinese diplomat as saying.

The PLA imposes a naval blockade on Taiwan with 49 fighters and 32 ships

The state-run Xinhua News Agency reported that the PLA's Eastern Theater Command began the "Joint Sword 2024A" drills at 7:45 a.m. (23:45 GMT) on Thursday in the Taiwan Straits, north, south and east of Taiwan, as well as in areas around Kinmen, Matsu, Wuqiu and Dongyin Islands.

In practice, China imposes a naval blockade on Taiwan with its forces "spreading" from 4 directions.

Taiwan's military recorded the approach of 49 PLAAF fighters and 31 PLAN ships, the island's General Staff said.

49 J-16, Su-30 fighter jets and KJ-500 airborne radars were spotted around Taiwan. Of the 49 Chinese aircraft, 35 crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait in the northern, central and southwestern sectors of the country's air defense identification zone (ADIZ).

At the same time, Hsiung Feng III (HF-3) anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles were developed.

Also, Taiwanese ships and air defense missile systems have been deployed off the coast of the island in response to China's exercises.
