China’s military released a music video this week highlighting stepped up operations by Chinese warplanes and warships around Taiwan.
The propaganda video shows Chinese bombers flying and an aircraft carrier launching warplanes along with guided-missile destroyers. The footage is interspersed with photos of Taiwan and images from Taiwanese cities.
The video ends with an ominous warning to Taiwan regarding the potential for military action against the democratic-ruled island that communist party-China regards as a breakaway province.
“Precious isle is distantly separated from [the motherland’s] bosom; easily bullied by the foreign thieves,” the video states in Chinese characters.
