The satellite images reveal a layout of streets strongly resembling the Bo’ai Special Zone, a restricted area in Taipei’s Zhongzheng District that houses Taiwan’s most important state buildings, including the presidential palace, the supreme court, the ministry of justice and the central bank of Taiwan.
The Bo’ai Special Zone is subject to specific regulations, including a strict ban on overflight.
This should come as no surprise. The UK’s MOD did similar, albeit on a smaller scale, for training troops for deployment in Northern Ireland, and Germany/Europe.
I think we all know China is gearing up to attack Taiwan as they make no secret that, as far as they are concerned, it belongs to them. The fact that the Taiwanese don’t agree is neither here nor there.
Same with Russia.

Can we say instead that they think it belongs to them?
Sorry typo. Fixed it.

Those are and were not their enemies and they were not specific targets. What is so eyebrow-raising here is that it is so specific.

Uhmm yeah that really does make the difference between an invasion and an amicable unification. I would say what China things is neither here nor there because they don’t own it so they have nothing to say about it.
You’re reading that last bit out of context. As* far as the Chinese are concerned, *what the Taiwanese think is neither here nor there. The Chinese have decided its theirs. Nobody else gets a say.
