As global powers shift, China’s “wolf warrior” diplomacy is evolving, particularly in response to the U.S. President Trump’s approach. With Taiwan’s government cracking down on entertainers with pro-China ties, tensions are escalating in the Taiwan Strait. We also look at China’s stance on Taiwan at the United Nations and how Taiwan is defending its sovereignty amidst these pressures.

The European Union has accused China of increasing cross-strait tensions by holding military drills around Taiwan. It called on all parties to exercise restraint. Taiwan has deployed its own navy in response to the drills – which some are calling a dress rehearsal for an invasion. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to take it over.Chapters:00:00 EU criticizes China military drills around Taiwan02:45 Rorry Daniels, Asia security specialist

On March 28, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, with its aftershocks reaching Bangkok, Thailand, over 1,020 kilometers away. The earthquake triggered a shocking event—a 31-story, 137-meter tall building, the Audit Office building in Bangkok, collapsed. This building, constructed by China Railway No.10 Engineering Group Group, was not only the tallest building to completely collapse in the earthquake, but also the company’s first super-high-rise project overseas. In just a few seconds, it went from being a nearly completed landmark to a pile of debris.

-The USS Nimitz, the U.S. Navy’s oldest and longest-serving aircraft carrier, started its final deployment, departing from Naval Base Kitsap on March 21. It is now headed for the Indo-Pacific after picking up Carrier Air Wing 17 in San Diego.-Over its 50-year service, the Nimitz played a key role in major military operations, including Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, and was the first carrier to qualify the F-35C fighter for operations.-Although scheduled for decommissioning in 2026, recent maintenance and upgrades could lead to efforts to keep the carrier in service longer, which could increase the Navy’s fleet to 12 carriers.

This is a “Mulberry harbour” used for the D-Day landings in France in 1944. It’s an artificial port, made up of floating roadways and pierheads, resembling a bridge: all prefabricated in the UK and towed to France. Eight decades later, China appears to have built something similar. Pictures have emerged of these hybrid ships and how they connect together into a giant causeway. The images are from HI Sutton of Covert Shores who broke the story. The fear is Beijing will use them to transport troops and tanks onto the beaches of Taiwan. Should China attack Taiwan, can Taipei count on the military support of the U.S., its main security backer? And is Taiwan’s survival still in the interests of the United States?
