Biden admin bristles as China accuses U S of intimidation tactics, claims ownership of Taiwan

Several news outlets, including The Washington Times, Reuters and others, have noted a recent spike in Chinese fighter jet incursions into airspace controlled by military forces of Taiwan, where officials vow to fight to the end against China attacks. Mr. Price told reporters Wednesday that the United States “maintains the capacity to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security or the social or economic system of the people of Taiwan.” The State Department spokesman separately warned China over other increasingly aggressive moves in the South China Sea, where some 200 Chinese vessels have recently amassed around the Whitsun Reef inside the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone in an apparent attempt to take control of the reef or at least block Philippine ships from accessing it.

Mid-Day Digest

Thomas Gallatin Joe Biden is expected to reveal his planned executive actions on firearms today. According to reports ahead of his announcement, Biden will specifically take aim at requiring background checks for the sale of a new bogeyman â so-called âghost guns,â or firearms without serial numbers that are often homemade. Is this just tinkering around the edges, or is he getting a foot in the door for something bigger? The so-called âghost gunsâ category is intentionally vague terminology that creates an impression of illegality, similar to the erroneous âassault rifleâ designation. Bidenâs order would classify 80% lowers, components sold separately without serial numbers, as firearms. By classifying them as such, a buyer would be subject to a background check. But Biden hopes for an essential ban on the sale of these âghost guns.â
