Are we next on Xi’s hit list?

Chinese Communist emperor Xi Jinping and his Russian vassal, Vladimir Putin, got together again last week. The meeting in Beijing appears to fit a pattern in which such summits precede, and apparently set the stage for the participants to engage in, acts of coordinated aggression.

That was certainly true with respect to Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’ invasion of Israel last year.

After Xi’s latest summit, China’s military has conducted what are described as “punishment exercises” encircling Taiwan with comprehensive air, army, missile and naval exercises. They coincided with bellicose denunciations of the inaugural address by Taiwan’s new president, William Lai, which may provide a pretext for war.

The question is: If Xi and Putin have agreed that the time is now right for offensive action against Taiwan, does their plan include disruptive operations inside the United States, as well?
