🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼⚡- BREAKING: US intelligence warns China could seize Taiwan’s outlying islands in the Taiwan Strait.
There are five island chains administered by Taiwan in the Strait, Pratas, Penghu, Kinmen, Wuqiou, and Lienchiang (Matsu). US intel warns Kinmen and Matsu are particularly vulnerable to Chinese capture.
"China could seize Taiwan’s smaller outlying islands as a tactic to intimidate the government in Taipei. However, an all-out invasion of Taiwan in 2025 is unlikely, but China could scale up the attacks on the democratic island’s smaller outposts.
China will use the attack on Taiwan's Islands to test the US’s commitment to Taiwan’s defense," - The Telegraph, British outlet, citing a US Defense Intelligence Agency, DIA, report.
Note, the US had finally admitted the presence of US troops in Taiwan, and yesterday Taipei received the Governor of Guam. On Monday, a congressional delegation from mainland US paid the island a visit.

In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. The regulator said it had received information that messages containing stock tips and other investment advice with respect to selected listed companies are being widely circulated through websites and social media platforms such as Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai. On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change. However, the perpetrators of such frauds are now adopting new methods and technologies to defraud the investors.
