Thousands of Chinese fishing boats have been massing in geometric formations in the East China Sea, in coordinated actions that experts believe are part of Beijing's preparations for a potential regional crisis or conflict.

He said that since USA is occupied in Iran, it's the "perfect opportunity" for them to invade Taiwan. Even if that were true, I don't see how fishing boats would have anything to do with it.

Our beloved fishing boats. Their menacing paramilitary vessels.

I don't see how fishing boats would have anything to do with it.

But that would mean the US was doing war crimes in Venezuela so obviously the only conclusion is that fishing boats are military operations

They're are shaping out instructions like those fish from nemo obviously. This is part of Xi Jinping's master plan for world domination. He is communicating with the posadist alien übermensch through geometric boat signals to trigger the new world order.

Or something
