And after they made that statement in the last month, we've had two kind of waves of Chinese maritime forces operating east of Taiwan.

First, we had their Maritime Safety Administration for the first time ever.

It's kind of a smaller kind of the Coast Guard.

They were operating east of Taiwan.

in the last month.

And then the Chinese Coast Guard a couple of weeks ago was also operating east of Taiwan.

And in the latter case with the Coast Guard, the Chinese Coast Guard, they started and stopped and inspected ships, commercial vessels transiting around eastern east of Taiwan.

They said they claimed they inspected 198 warships, or not warships, commercial vessels.

So we're all focused on keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and the right of international waters to be open.

It's something that the U.S.

has backed for 250 years.

Well, we're watching China gobble that up.

So that's a way to slowly kind of control something, and we may be asleep but focused on other things, and we won't be able to react fast enough to stop what is effectively the starting of a blockade.

And then last week on July 6th, the Chinese launched a submarine-launched ballistic missile 7,300 kilometers from the South China Sea over the Philippines, past Guam, across our territories of the Micronesia and the Federated States there, and they went into the areas in the South Pacific.

It's the first time that the Chinese have ever launched an SLBM, submarine-launched ballistic missile, into the South Pacific.

Two years ago,

they had launched an intercontinental ballistic missile into those same waters.

So in the space of two years, after essentially a 40-year gap of any kind of significant ICBM testing, China's done two strategic nuclear tests into the South Pacific, which is to say, in their own words in the Chinese press, they said,

nuclear missiles launched from submarines deep under the sea surface are very difficult to detect and track and can be used on short notice.

So they are tasked with realizing sea-based nuclear deterrence and counter-strike.
