Taiwan deploys forces to 'protect freedom' amid major China military drills
Thursday, 23 May 2024 China's military has launched two days of major drills around Taiwan, encircling the island with ships and fighter jets in the greatest escalation in tension across the Taiwan Strait since 2022.
China warns "Taiwan independence forces" will be left with "heads broken and blood flowing after colliding against the historical trend of China achieving complete unification," as it launched military drills around the self-ruled island.
A former U.S. Army analyst, 25-year-old Korbein Schultz, has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for leaking top-secret military information to a contact he believed was linked to the Chinese government. Schultz admitted to selling sensitive data from 2022 to 2024—including info on U.S. troop movements, missile systems, and lessons from Ukraine—for $42,000. The case raises serious national security concerns, with leaked documents also covering Taiwan and NATO strategy. Schultz even tried to recruit others. Was it greed, ideology—or something darker?

Tensions are escalating in the Asia-Pacific as China slams the U.S.-Philippines joint military drills near Taiwan. The 2025 Balikatan exercises involve over 14,000 troops and simulated island defenses — moves Beijing says threaten regional peace. Chinese officials accuse the Philippines of colluding with foreign powers and warn the drills will disrupt stability and economic growth. As Australia, Japan, and others join or observe the war games, China warns: “Those who play with fire will get burned.” The Luzon Strait — near Taiwan — is now the center of global attention.
