Leaked audio from a top-secret meeting confirms the Chinese military is preparing to invade Taiwan



According to leaked audio from a top-secret meeting of Chinese military officials, China may soon launch an invasion of Taiwan.

The Times of India reported that an audio clip revealing dialogue between officials from China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), surfaced on YouTube marking the first time since the formation of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 that a recording of a top-secret meeting of China’s military command has leaked.

The Times reported that the video containing the meeting’s conversation, along with English translations of what is being discussed, “appears authentic.”

Reportedly, “allies” within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the PLA recorded the audio. There is now an ongoing manhunt to uncover the source of the leak.

According to the audio, during the operation against Taiwan the Chinese military will have to safeguard the Pearl River Delta area in the Guangdong province. The Guangdong province is a densely populated part of China and home to much of China’s domestic industry.

The Guangdong province is often credited as being the heartbeat of Chinese industry. It includes the world class trading hub and hi-tech capital, Shenzhen, where digital behemoths Huawei and Tencent Industries are headquartered. It also includes Hong Kong, Macau, and the furniture capital Dongguan.

It’s reasonable to conclude that the protection of the Pearl River Delta is crucial to the CCP preserving stability of the Guangdong region and China in general. Should these areas be compromised by China’s enemies, large swaths of the Chinese economy will become extremely vulnerable.

Some of the leaked audio from the top-secret meeting confirmed that the invasion would be a massive operation.

A speaker at the meeting said, “First, the mobilization tasks issued to our province by the eastern and southern war zones totaling 20 categories and 293 items, mainly 1,358 detachments of various types with a total of 140,000 personnel, 953 ships of various types, and 1653 units/sets of various unmanned equipment.”

The leaked audio also confirmed that companies involved in the manufacture of military technologies, telecommunication companies, and satellite service companies located in China will all play a crucial role in supplying the PLA throughout the invasion of Taiwan. Many of America’s largest defense contractors have extensive ties to the PLA and CCP.

The leaked audio confirms that the meeting was held to discuss pre-war preparation and that the meeting was held to discuss orderly transition from peace time to war and to discuss military mobilization and planning.

South Korea's new president says he will no longer appease Kim Jong Un, says recent attempts at peace with North Korea were a 'proven failure'



South Korea’s days of appeasing its neighbor to the north are over, as South Korea’s new president, Yoon Suk Yeol, said that any new talks between the two countries must be initiated by Kim Jong Un.

Yoon said, “I think the ball is in Chairman Kim’s court – it is his choice to start a dialogue with us.”

The North Korean government has recently resumed testing missiles, testing more so far in 2022 than in the past two years combined. CNN reported that Kim also recently vowed to “strengthen and develop” his country’s nuclear forces at the “highest possible” speed.

Nevertheless, Yoon said that South Korea and its allies are ready to stand against any acts of North Korean provocation.

Yoon lambasted his predecessor’s conciliatory approach to diplomacy with North Korea.

He said, “Just to escape temporarily North Korean provocation or conflict is not something that we should do. This kind of approach over the past five years has proven to be a failure.”

Yoon is a former prosecutor and a newcomer to politics. He consistently has emphasized the need for taking a stronger stance toward North Korea and expressed an ardent desire to strengthen the South’s military. Both of these approaches mark a significant departure from Yoon’s predecessor, Moon Jae-in, who routinely promoted amicable dialogue with the North and advocated for a peaceful reconciliation between the two Koreas.

Despite what some may interpret as blatant hostility toward North Korea, Yoon said that he didn’t want North Korea to “collapse” but that he also did not think the South’s communist neighbor should be emboldened to continue the development of its nuclear arsenal.

He said, “What I want is shared and common prosperity on the Korean Peninsula. I do not believe that enhancing [North Korea’s] nuclear capability is helpful and conducive to maintaining international peace.”

Throughout his campaign for the South Korean presidency, Yoon emphasized the importance of South Korea’s close security alliance with the U.S.

After Yoon’s recent meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden, the two leaders announced in a joint statement that they would begin discussions on restarting and potentially expanding joint military drills. This move is expected to anger North Korean leadership, as Kim Jong Un is expected to perceive the renewed exercises as a direct threat to his nation’s sovereignty

Despite Yoon’s hesitance to engage in dialogue with his North Korean counterparts, Biden insisted that he would meet with Kim if he was “sincere and whether he was serious.”

Joe Biden says he's open to meeting with Kim Jong Un during his trip to South Korea



President Joe Biden expressed an interest in meeting with Kim Jong Un should the North Korean leader have sincere diplomatic intentions.

Biden made this statement after meeting with the recently elected South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol. Biden said that South Korean and U.S. officials would soon begin holding discussions to expand joint military exercises as North Korea resumes launching missiles and testing nuclear weapons.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Biden said the U.S. and its allies would address the ongoing threat of North Korea “by further strengthening our deterrence posture and working toward a complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”

The two presidents held a series of discussions as North Korea struggles to contain a growing COVID-19 outbreak which Biden said he was willing to help them get control over. Biden stated that the U.S. was prepared to provide vaccines “immediately.”

A White House official later clarified that the U.S. would not directly provide North Korea with vaccines but would instead provide them through existing infrastructure like Covax, a program financed by wealthy nations to help lower-income countries obtain vaccines.

The Biden administration reportedly made North Korean leadership aware of the offer to provide them vaccines as recently as last week. The administration also offered to provide the vaccines to the Chinese government who could then transfer them into North Korea.

North Korea, however, has previously rebuffed offers of Covid vaccines from Covax and has not responded to recent offers from South Korea to provide vaccines and other medical supplies. North Korean officials have accepted medical supplies from China, though.

When asked whether he would have any preconditions for meeting with Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, Biden said, “That would depend on whether he was sincere and whether he was serious.”

And as North Korea’s government ramps up missile tests, White House officials play down the likelihood of Biden and Kim meeting. Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, met with Kim three times during his presidency and was temporarily successful in persuading the North Korean leader to cease developing nuclear weapons. However, without as aggressive an adversary as Trump, Kim has resumed his rapid paced development of nuclear weapons.

U.S. officials have warned of the possibility that North Korea could conduct more nuclear or long-range ballistic tests this month. Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, said that North Korean weapons testing would prompt the U.S. to ramp up effort to defend its allies and “cause adjustments to the way our military is postured in the region.”
