ROBERT MAGINNIS: 9 signs Beijing's Taiwan invasion may be imminent

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warns of China's potential invasion of Taiwan, citing military drills and strategic deployments at the Shangri-La Dialogue.

Robert Maginnis is a retired US Army officer and the author of 12 books, including his most recent, "Preparing for World War III" (2024).

Beijing swiftly rejected the allegation. Rear Admiral Hu Gangfeng, head of the Chinese delegation and vice president of China’s National Defense University, called the remarks "groundless accusations," stating that "some of the claims are completely fabricated, some distort facts and some are cases of a thief crying ‘stop thief.’" Despite such denials, a growing body of evidence suggests China may indeed be preparing for a military move against Taiwan.
