To cause “trouble” for the United States
(Infowars) – One of the objectives of China’s last minute live-fire drill in the Taiwan Strait this week was to send a message of support to Russia in the face of increasing tensions over Syria with the United States, according to experts.
The drill, which included the Liaoning carrier strike group and was the first in the region for three years, was primarily meant as an invasion threat against Taiwan, but that was not its only intention.
A source close to the People’s Liberation Army Navy told the South China Morning Post that the exercise was also intended to communicate Beijing’s support for Moscow in the face of U. S. threats.
“[US President] Donald Trump’s warning of military attacks on Syria forces was a bit of a surprise for Beijing and Moscow,” said the source.
