Biden WH delays long-planned missile tests so as to not ratchet up tensions with China

The United States had an ICBM test scheduled to take place on the west coast of the country, and naturally the test will go on as planned so China knows they can’t dictate the terms of American military operations.

Wait, that’s actually not what’s happening. The Biden White House and Pentagon have said the missile tests will be delayed so as to not further inflame tensions with China:

This all of course comes in the wake of Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.

The Biden administration seems to be going out of its way to project weakness to the Chi-com leadership:

Amid escalating tensions that saw Chinese state media threaten to shoot down House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plane ahead of her visit to the island nation during a trip through Asia, the Biden administration announced that it was delaying this weekend’s planned test of the Minuteman III missile.

The decision came from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin who claimed the Pentagon was seeking to avoid further inflaming relations with China.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Biden postposed a “routine test launch” of the Air Force’s Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. The “long-planned test” was planned to launch from California’s Vandenberg Space (previously Air) Force Base north of Los Angeles in Santa Barbara County.

Meanwhile, China’s lighting things up all around Taiwan with military exercises.

We’re sure the ChiCom leadership will feel less emboldened because Biden postponed the missile test due to their actions. Or maybe not.

Stay tuned!
