China may try to seize Taiwan's Dongsha islands during US election

[Twitter-Taiwan Military] China's 'Don’t say that we didn’t warn you' phrase used before start of previous wars
An expert on China warns that the communist regime may try to exploit chaos during the U.S. presidential election to seize Taiwan's Dongsha Islands ((東沙群島, Pratas Islands).
In an interview with Spy Talk, Charles W. "Chas" Freeman Jr., a retired diplomat who served in Taiwan and China, warned that Beijing may attempt to capture the Dongsha Islands, or Taiwan's other outer islands such as Matsu, Kinmen, and Penghu. Chas asserts that the move is being presaged by several warning signs that are similar to the prelude to China's military actions in the past.
Freeman claimed that China's goal in taking the islands would be to “give people in Taiwan a sense of the inevitability of defeat." He asserted that China could lay the groundwork for the assault by activating sappers to sabotage Taiwan's air bases and command its double agents to "defect in place."
He noted that China's state-run mouthpiece, the People's Daily, on Oct. 15 released a "Letter to Taiwan's Intelligence Organs" in which it urged Taiwan's spies "against supporting President Tsai Ing-wen’s resistance to unification with China." The letter included the words "Don’t say that we didn’t warn you," which according to China's state-operated tabloid the Global Times was originally used by the Qing Dynasty, "and has become a key phrase used by Chinese official media as the most severe warning previously issued before shots were fired in military operations."
The Global Times stated that the phrase was issued before the Sino-Indian War in 1962 and the Sino-Vietnamese War in 1979. Freeman added that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had used the same or similar phrases before storming Beijing in 1949 during the Chinese Civil War and before crossing the Yalu River in 1950 during the Korean War.
More recently, Beijing issued the same warning in November of last year to the U.S. for its support of Hong Kong pro-democracy protests. On June 30, China's rubber-stamp parliament, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, passed the draconian Hong Kong national security law.
