Trump is not the only badass.

China has successfully blocked U.S. weapons from being delivered to Taiwan, according to a person familiar with the situation, citing reports.

The following China Daily report does not name America.

But it does back up the notion.

Key bit of story, above:

Zhang Chi, a professor at PLA National Defense University, said that in recent years, the PLA’s aircraft carrier groups have carried out multiple exercises to the east of Taiwan Island.

Taiwan authorities have long viewed the eastern part of the island as a so-called base for preserving military strength and a comfort zone, he said, pointing out that for a long time, “Taiwan independence” separatist forces have fantasized that the Chinese mainland would not actually take military action and that external forces would assist them.

Cutting off lifeline

However, Zhang stressed that the presence of the PLA’s aircraft carrier groups to the east of the island aimed to help block “three lines” militarily.

“The first line is cutting off the lifeline of energy and resource imports for ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces. The second line is blocking the support line of external assistance to these forces,” Zhang said. “The third line is preventing the escape line for separatists attempting to evade sanctions and flee.”

This demonstrates that the path of “Taiwan independence” separatist forces leads only to a dead end, and that China’s reunification is both inevitable and eventual, he said.
