Today's video covers the following news:
1. The situation on the Korean Peninsula continues to heat up:
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have risen again. On the night of October 18th, North Korea fired about 250 artillery shells into the eastern and western waters, and on October 19, it fired another 100 shells into the western waters, leading to strong protests from South Korea.
The South Korean and U.S. forces jointly conducted drills to build a pontoon bridge for tanks and other armored vehicles to cross a river. The outside world speculates that this may be the reason for the North Korean artillery fire.
2. Taiwan Army Drill in 澎湖Penghu:
On October 19th, the Taiwan Army's Penghu Defense Command conducted a "frontier drill" to simulate the Chinese Communist Party's lockdown of Taiwan and the Communist Army's advance on Taiwan's defense zone, with the participation of combat vehicles, armored vehicles, and a variety of artillery and precision ammunition.
It’s reported that the " frontier drill" is a monthly live fire training in response to the ongoing threat from the Chinese Communist Party CCP.
3. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Beijing was on a much faster timeline to invade Taiwan:
On Oct. 17th, at a Hoover Institution event at Stanford University, Blinken criticized the CCP for changing its approach to Taiwan in recent years, saying Beijing could no longer accept the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and was determined to pursue reunification on a much faster timeline.” The US continues to view China as an advancing threat and continues to work closely with allies and partners to maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
In a newly published book by a former Taiwan Captain, he predicts that provided five prerequisites, that is, if the CCP is not engaged in a major war like the Korean War or a bloody internal struggle like the Cultural Revolution, if there is no massive global outbreak with the heavy death toll, if China's economy continues to grow steadily, if Xi Jinping is re-elected to a fourth term, and if Taiwan doesn’t step on the red line of "Taiwan independence," the latest time frame for the Communist Party to unify Taiwan by force is around 2032 but it may be sooner.
