CCTV FOLLIES 5.23 JOINT SWORD OF JUSTICE HOVERS OVER TAIWAN!!!
Did the Lai Ching-te speech really launch a thousand ships? -Or was the show of force in the cards all along? -Might makes right? -China loves Taiwan to death.
CCTV’s reporting on the “Joint Sword” military drill around Taiwan links it to Lai Ching-te’s May 20 speech, the full text of which can be found here.
The normally cool and composed anchor, Zheng Li, is more emphatic and emotional than usual. She says the military drill is a justifiable reaction to the scheming of Taiwan independence elements and should also serve as a stern warning to foreign provocations and interference.
