Taiwan Dares China With Live-Fire HIMARS Rocket Launcher Tests, U.S Speeds Up Weapon Flow to Allies
Taiwan has begun live-fire HIMARS drills at Jiupeng base, testing U.S.-supplied systems amid rising tensions in the South China Sea.
The military exercise—part of a broader training campaign through June 2025—includes high-precision ATACMS missile launches and underscores Taiwan’s defense readiness.
The U.S. has accelerated weapon shipments, with Taiwan set to receive 29 HIMARS launchers and hundreds of missiles by 2027.
As Chinese aggression intensifies, regional allies including the U.S. are reinforcing their presence.
Taiwan’s show of strength sends a clear message: it’s prepared and watching closely.

A top Philippine general has issued a stark warning over China's aggressive actions in the South China Sea, calling Beijing's claims "illegal and coercive." Brigadier General Logico criticized China’s expanding control near Philippine waters as U.S., Philippine, and Australian forces launch massive joint military drills. With 14,000 troops and international observers involved, the Balikatan exercises underscore a growing alliance. For the first time, the U.S. deployed deadly NMESIS missile systems near Taiwan, intensifying regional tension. As military presence escalates, calls for global attention to China's maritime behavior grow louder.

China’s newest warship Qinzhou has completed a dramatic live-fire drill just days after joining the PLA Navy’s Southern Theater Command. The stealth frigate Type 054B, hull number 555, was seen in state media footage sinking a target using its main gun and close-in weapon system. This marks Beijing’s bold push to expand naval dominance in disputed waters. As tensions rise, military analysts say the ship’s firepower and far-seas capabilities fit China’s long-term strategy to control critical trade routes and deter rivals in the South China Sea.

A former U.S. Army analyst, 25-year-old Korbein Schultz, has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for leaking top-secret military information to a contact he believed was linked to the Chinese government. Schultz admitted to selling sensitive data from 2022 to 2024—including info on U.S. troop movements, missile systems, and lessons from Ukraine—for $42,000. The case raises serious national security concerns, with leaked documents also covering Taiwan and NATO strategy. Schultz even tried to recruit others. Was it greed, ideology—or something darker?

Tensions are escalating in the Asia-Pacific as China slams the U.S.-Philippines joint military drills near Taiwan. The 2025 Balikatan exercises involve over 14,000 troops and simulated island defenses — moves Beijing says threaten regional peace. Chinese officials accuse the Philippines of colluding with foreign powers and warn the drills will disrupt stability and economic growth. As Australia, Japan, and others join or observe the war games, China warns: “Those who play with fire will get burned.” The Luzon Strait — near Taiwan — is now the center of global attention.

The BRP Miguel Malvar, an 80-year-old World War II ship, sank unexpectedly before it could be used as a live-fire target in the U.S.-Philippine Balikatan drills. Originally set to be sunk off Zambales, rough seas and the vessel's age caused it to go under prematurely. The Malvar held historical value as a former U.S. Navy ship that once hunted Japanese submarines. Although the target drill was canceled, joint military exercises continued near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, highlighting growing U.S.-Philippine cooperation in deterring China's presence in the South China Sea.
