Taiwan Dares China With Live-Fire HIMARS Rocket Launcher Tests, U.S Speeds Up Weapon Flow to Allies

China has intensified military pressure on Taiwan, with 14 aircraft and 9 naval vessels detected near its territory. Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense reports that 9 of the aircraft crossed the median line into its air defense zone, prompting an immediate response with jets, ships, and missile systems. President Lai Ching-te warns of China’s growing military intimidation and information warfare aimed at annexation. As Taiwan activates U.S.-trained HIMARS units, tensions in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea continue to escalate—bringing the region closer to a flashpoint.

In a bold display of military preparedness, Taiwan has launched large-scale live-fire drills under its annual "Han Kuang" military exercise. These drills, the biggest in the island's history, include the debut of U.S.-made M1A2T Abrams tanks and a record mobilisation of reservists. President Lai Ching-te personally oversaw the training, asserting Taiwan’s readiness to defend against any Chinese aggression.
Drones, tanks, and innovative new combat tactics were put to the test over the 10-day drill. With tensions escalating in the Taiwan Strait, this unprecedented military build-up sends a sharp message to Beijing. While China continues to ramp up pressure, Taiwan's latest exercises showcase not only resolve but modernization in warfare. The Han Kuang drills aren't just defensive—they're a signal that Taiwan is preparing for the unthinkable and doing so with Western-backed firepower.

In a stunning revelation, a leaked audio clip from a private fundraiser has exposed the aggressive foreign policy approach of Donald Trump. The audio, first reported by CNN, allegedly captures Trump recounting a conversation with Vladimir Putin where he made a direct threat to bomb Moscow if Russia were to invade Ukraine. Trump claims that while Putin may not have fully believed him, the threat was credible enough ("he believed me 10%"). This gives a rare insight into the high-stakes conversations that happened behind closed doors during his presidency.
The source of this explosive leak is reportedly a new book titled “2024,” written by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. The authors claim to have obtained the audio from the fundraiser, where Trump was speaking candidly to wealthy donors. This 'unleashed' side of Trump was not limited to Russia. The same leaked audio reveals Trump made a similar threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning he would bomb Beijing if China launched an invasion of Taiwan. "He thought I was crazy," Trump is heard saying on the tape.
These revelations come as Trump campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. He uses these anecdotes to argue that his aggressive and unpredictable negotiating style is what successfully prevented major global conflicts, specifically citing the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which he claims would not have happened under his watch. The audio provides a stark look at the kind of "strongman" diplomacy Trump advocates for, a strategy he believes is necessary to prevent world powers from undermining the United States.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, attending the SCO summit in China, strongly criticized the United States and NATO for their growing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region. Lavrov argued that NATO allies seek to expand their influence into the Far East, undermining regional stability. In contrast, Russia, China, and like-minded nations advocate for an “open and free security architecture” for East Asia. His remarks highlight deepening Moscow-Beijing cooperation against Western strategic ambitions in the Asia-Pacific.

Tensions flared at the United Nations Security Council as China’s Permanent Representative, Fu Cong, fired back at the United States over its accusations regarding the South China Sea. In a fiery exchange during the UNSC debate on multilateralism and peaceful dispute resolution, Fu accused Washington of hypocrisy, interference, and fueling instability in the region.
While the U.S. criticized China’s actions, Beijing firmly defended its territorial sovereignty and maritime claims, calling the American narrative misleading and dangerous. With both sides trading barbs in front of global representatives, the showdown raises fresh questions about who is truly threatening peace in the Indo-Pacific.
