On Aug. 5, the Chinese communist regime’s state-run central television (CCTV) boasted that the Chinese military exercises targeting Taiwan forced the USS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group to “back away” from Taiwan and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plane to “detour” east of the Philippines from Kuala Lumpur to the island.
CCTV interviewed Meng Xiangqing, a professor of the CCP PLA National Defence University, who said in the program that “the intensity and deterrence of the military drills are far greater than before.”
