Taiwan tensions spilling over in South China Sea – Asia Times

MANILA US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi s visit to Taiwan has not, as some may have feared, triggered World War III. But regional tensions are bound to rise following today s (August 3) historic visit by the third-highest ranking US official.

Although Pelosi s flight avoided the South China Sea en route to Taiwan, the Sino-American struggle in the disputed waters is expected to intensify over the coming weeks.

In response to Pelosi s visit, China has imposed sanctions on Taiwanese exports while the People s Liberation Army (PLA) has announced a targeted military operation north, southwest and southeast of the self-governing island China considers a renegade province.

I wonder how straight the Asia Times is. Some of their coverage seems a bit too sympathetic to the CCP.
