In today’s War for the Free World, a key frontline is the Western Pacific where Communist China’s ambition to be the globe’s dominant power is much in evidence. Its fortified man-made islands in the South China Sea,  intensifying crackdown in Hong Kong, political warfare in Australia and naval build-up are ominous harbingers of trouble to come.

In today’s War for the Free World, a key frontline is the Western Pacific where Communist China’s ambition to be the globe’s dominant power is much in evidence. Its fortified man-made islands in the South China Sea,  intensifying crackdown in Hong Kong, political warfare in Australia and naval build-up are ominous harbingers of trouble to come. 

Particularly worrying is the Chinese Communist Party’s harsh response to Taiwanese voters’ recent, overwhelming support for their island’s sovereignty and freedoms. Beijing is signaling its determination to use force to crush both.

The woman who won a massive mandate for opposing such Chinese threats, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, has a powerful message to the PRC: Get over it. “Taiwan is an independent country already.” 

That is, of course, both true, morally right and in America’s vital interest. We must deter China and stand with Free Taiwan.
