Taiwan News — Taiwanese military expert Lu Li-shi (呂禮詩) predicts that China could fire missiles over Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung as they head toward one of the six zones the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has designated for live-fire exercises this week.

This is looking worrying. If not a full-scale blockade, it's enough to disrupt supply routes - play havoc with the world economy - which is exactly what the CCP has been prepping for. I can see them either dragging the exercises out/increasing them or using them as a pop-up disruption. Supposedly they are meant to go from Aug 4 (today) to Aug 7. So we'll soon see.

In terms of the 'in-your-face' stuff you mentioned, that's just sort of shooting war, that leaves, psychological, cyber, economic, and .. bio-warfare. Or did we already have the last one?
