China and Russia Blame America for a ‘New Cold War’

The competition between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continued to heat up over the past several weeks. The most worrisome developments center on Taiwan. Earlier this month, according to Taiwan’s ministry of defense, the CCP sent a record number of military aircraft into the island nation’s airspace. This deliberate provocation was intended to intimidate not only Taipei, but also Washington. 

The U.S. has been supplying Taiwan with billions of dollars in arms and training as part of an effort to ward off Beijing. But there is growing alarm that this might not be possible.
