Congressman John Moolenaar on deterring aggression against Taiwan

Published | Video Starts at 05:59

The Chinese Communist Party has increased its provocations, incursions, and coercive actions against Taiwan and the rest of the world. Most troubling is Xi Jinping's mandate to the People's Liberation army, requiring China's military to be prepared, if called upon, to subjugate Taiwan by force and defeat any American military response. This by 2027. The true intentions of Xi Jinping are hard to know. But when a dictator says he's preparing to do something dangerous, all of us must take him at his word. (05:59–06:17)

CLAIM

Asserts Xi Jinping's directive for military preparedness to potentially take Taiwan by force by 2027.
