New Zealand says China navy held 2nd live-fire drill in international waters New Zealand said the Chinese navy conducted a live-fire exercise in international waters near the Pacific nation on Saturday, a day after it held a similar drill between Australia and New Zealand that forced airlines to divert flights.

This incident along with Chinese naval vessels showing up close to Australian shores has served to increase tensions in the area as China seems to be flexing its military muscle in some uncomfortable ways. #China #NewZealand #Australia #ForeignPolicy #Brinkmanship #Military

Taiwan asks South Korea for help over Chinese ship after subsea cable damaged Shunxing39 cargo vessel is heading for Pusan after Taipei suggests anchor-dragging was ‘sabotage’

Russia is not the only country actively targeting underwater infrastructure of other nations. As China increasingly seems preparing to move against Taiwan, this seems to be the latest provocation. #China #中国 #Taiwan #SouthKorea #SouthChinaSea #ForeignPolicy #Military #Brinkmanship

North Korea's Kim vows the toughest anti-US policy before Trump takes office During a five-day plenary meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party, Kim called the U.S. “the most reactionary state that regards anti-communism as its invariable state policy.”

With the chaos going in South Korea and Trump about to take office in the states, North Korea is taking advantage of the situation with some more posturing and brinkmanship. #NorthKorea #SouthKorea #Trump #US #Brinkmanship #ForeignPolicy

Finland seizes Russia-linked tanker suspected of cutting vital undersea cables The region is already on high alert over the war in Ukraine, with NATO vowing to enhance its military presence in the Baltic Sea.

This is a situation that is only going to get worse. A response is going to be required by the west if they keep coming after our undersea cables. We cannot allow Russia and China to keep threatening vital undersea infrastructure. #Russia #China #Finland #NATO #ForeignPolicy #Military #Brinkmanship

China calls Taiwan a 'red line', criticises new US military aid to island China criticised new U.S. military aid to Taiwan on Sunday, saying the $571 million package seriously violates the "one China principle" and provisions of joint communiques between China and the U.S.

More brinkmanship over Taiwan as the US promises more aid with China once again threatening action. With this and the growing tensions in the rest of the South China Sea one wrong move could lead to war. #China #US #SouthChinaSea #Taiwan #Military #ForeignPolicy #MilitaryAid #Brinkmanship
