Problematic Chinese exercises near Taiwan, civil war breaks out in Sudan, malaise among Moscow elites
Bulletin (third week of April)

This comes as the two countries concluded the latest round of talks on a free trade agreement last month.
Beijing flexes its muscles near Taiwan
After an extensive Chinese navy and air force exercise near Taiwan, a few days after current President Tsai Ing-Wen's visit to various states in North, Central, and South America, with more than 12 Chinese warships and at least 90 fighter jets continuously active for several days, the date of a sudden Russian exercise is approaching, which coincides with an equally sudden exercise by China in the Yellow sea (near the korean peninsula). The date is the 18th of April.
Many see this as a golden opportunity for a possible invasion attempt by Chinese forces with the facilitation of the Russian navy.
We are not convinced.
