However, according to Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL), the ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, China may step up aggressions in 2022 even more.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, Rogers predicted China would attempt an invasion of Taiwan after Beijing hosted the 2022 Olympic games, having the benefit of the games for publicity and also doing so while perceived-to-be-weak Biden was still president.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s real dangerous,\u201d he said. \u201cI have talked about this for a good, long while \u2014 that I believe China\u2019s plan is to take Taiwan after the 2022 Olympics. They intend to use the Olympics as a chance to really shine up their image globally. And as soon as that\u2019s over with, they intend to burn some of that capital, taking Taiwan. And I think what\u2019s happening right now is they\u2019re taking the measure of Joe Biden to see what, if anything, he\u2019ll do about it. And I think we all know the answer to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think the other reason \u2014 well, I know the other reason why I believe they would do it immediately after the \u201922 Olympics is they don\u2019t want to risk the chance of Biden not being reelected and having such a golden opportunity to act when the United States is led by a weak leader because I am convinced this will be the singular term of this administration, and they won\u2019t be followed by another Democrat. So there is that pressure, too, on China to act while the opportunity presents itself for the least response from the world\u2019s only superpower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Jeff Poor on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jeff_poor\">@jeff_poor<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Signs are pointing to China stepping up its ambitious tack in recent months, especially since President Joe Biden assumed office earlier this year.
