China Fire missiles over Taiwan

 For the moment we'll shift our attention to another battleground . The Taliban strait , China is going ballistic it continues to punish Taiwan for hosting Nancy Pelosi .

The missiles are now literally flying over Taiwan and China is expected to continue doing this still Sunday with each passing day they're raising the stakes. First the military moves now economic strike. Today china sanctioned Nancy Pelosi snapped diplomatic 

engagement with the united states . The Taiwan straits has been militarized . 

What will Xi Jinping do next ?

That's what we'll discuss tonight how China plan's for Taiwan is shaping up . First the latest from the Chinese drills earlier this week Beijing launched a range of operations the Chinese military has encircled Taiwan rockets are now flying in every directions . Look 

at this map this is Taiwan and these are six danger zones around the islands . This is where the PLA is conducting drills missiles are flying from the mainland and they are landing in every corner . A few missiles went over Taiwan they landed in Japan's exclusive 

economic zone or what they call the EZZ. This area falls in japan jurisdiction think of it as Japan sovereign territory . Chinese missiles are landing there Tokyo has released an assessment it says it least five missiles have landed in Japan's EZZ . And this by the way is the 

biggest ever military operation around Taiwan . Chinese bombers and fighters , fighter jets are in the air . Warships around the Taiwan are conducting strikes . Chinese soldiers are practicing how to blockade the island . So how as Taiwan defending itself . This is 

what their president Sai Inguine said today

''I would like to  emphasize that we will not escalate conflicts or provoke disputes but we will firmly defend our sovereignty and national security and stick to the line of defense of democracy and freedom . We are calm and not impetuous . We are rational and not 

provocative but we will also be firm and not shrinking ''.

Taiwan need a long term plan to deal with the PLA Nancy Pelosi visits has precipitated the crisis for the this islands . Taiwan call  itself an independent and sovereign state but china disagrees it calls Taiwan a breakaway province a province that china must control using force if needed . 

And Nancy Pelosi is not done yet she's weighing in on the fallout of the visit.

''We have said from the start that our representations here is not about changing the status quo here in. In Asia changing status quo of Taiwan . It's about against the Taiwan relations act the U.S China policy that all of the uh pieces of legislation and agreements that have established what our relationship is to have peace in the Taiwan straits and to have the status quo prevail''.

But the status quo has changed . If Pelosi was not convinced earlier maybe this will change her mind . China has sanctioned Nancy Pelosi and her family . They can no longer visit china Hong Kong or Macau nd they not do business with china and that's not all China 

has also launched a comprehensive diplomatic response against the U. S . And it  is calling them the eight counter measures.

What are these counter measures ? 

Lets tell you ,three important defense dialogues have been suspended. The China U.S Theater commander's dialogue the defense policy coordination talk and meetings  for a military maritime agreement . What else cooperation on five key issues stand 

suspended . Repatriation of illegal immigrants legal assistance in criminal matters transnational crimes counter narcotics cooperation and climate change . China will no longer work with the U.S on any of these matters . This is heading towards a complete breakdown in  

the relationship . Beijing is effectively ended dialogue with Washington D.C . How does the U.S  see these moves U.S secretary of state Anthony Blinken has called China's action quote unquote a significant escalation .

The fact is the speaker's visit was peaceful there is no justifications foe this extreme disproportionate and escalatory military response . Let me say again that nothing has changed about our one china policy which is guided by the Taiwan relations act . The three communiques and the six assurances .

Lincoln may try his best to spin it . Beijing is not buying any of it . It seems prepared to fight with everyone over Taiwan . Let's tell you what happened with Japan today . Japan protested the Chinese drills their prime minister Fumio Kishida called on Beijing to stop immediately . Here's what the Chinese wolf warriors said 

The Japanese government your leaders have recently behaved very badly over the Taiwan issue causing great discontent among the Chinese people . As we have already said Japan bear a serious historical responsibility on the Taiwan issue and Japan is not qualified to say anything to china over the Taiwan issue .

Japan is behaving very badly she said . What should they do then allow Chinese missiles to blow them up . China is turned the Taiwan strait into a war zone . This region is an important trade link for the world 22 percent of global trade passes through here but the PLA 

has shut everything down since Wednesday 70 flights from Taiwan have been cancelled . Several ships are being forced to sail around danger zone and the risk is this . This disruption could be permanent experts say these drills are a peak into the future a preview of what 

could happen if china decide to invade Taiwan . In fact I have a statement from major general Meng Xiang Ching he's is a professor at the PLA national defense university in Beijing and here is how he described the drills near the Taiwan . I am quoting this established 

an encirclement of Taiwan island . This creates very good conditions for reshaping the strategic situations in a way that benefits unifications  so that could be China end game . Beijing wants to force Taiwan into submissions through relentless coercion .
