China's PLA Quietly Mobilizes Before APEC—What's Really Going On?
More than 100 Chinese warships and coast guard vessels deployed across the Western Pacific. PLA fighter jets crossed the Taiwan Strait median line. Yet Beijing announced no major military exercise. Why the silence?
Just days before Xi Jinping hosts the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China's military is making some unusual moves.
Is the PLA quietly rehearsing for a Taiwan blockade or a wider regional conflict? Is Beijing deliberately avoiding publicity ahead of APEC? Or could the massive deployments signal something deeper amid China's sweeping military purges and internal power struggles?
We also examine a striking image of CMC Vice Chairman Zhang Shengmin sitting alone in a commanding position—and what it might reveal about the PLA's changing leadership.
Join me as we explore four possible explanations behind China's silent military drills and what they could mean for Taiwan, Xi Jinping, and the future of the PLA.
