Will Beijing Attack Taiwan Sooner Than We Thought? Interview With James Fanell, Part 1

150 Chinese fighter jets entered the southwestern part of Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) during the National Day of China, the most in 40 years. Taiwan’s defense minister says this is the most dangerous time for Taiwan. Would Xi Jinping really decide to invade Taiwan? Are the Taiwanese military and the U.S. military prepared for such a scenario? I had this discussion with James Fanell, former senior intelligence officer for China at the Office of Naval Intelligence and the chief of intelligence for CTF-70, 7th Fleet, and the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
