UK aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth makes port call on Guam with its strike group​

AUGUST 6, 2021 - The aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth and its strike group made a port call Friday at U.S. Naval Base Guam, one of the group’s many stops as it moves across the Indo-Pacific.

Royal Navy Commodore Steve Moorhouse, commander of the strike group, said in a U.S. Navy news release Friday that the group has visited more than 20 nations since it departed the United Kingdom in May.

“Our visit to Guam provides an opportunity for some much-deserved rest and recreation,” he said. “We are grateful to the U.S. Navy for the use of their facilities, and we look forward to exploring this beautiful Pacific Island.”

We have repeatedly warned that if the US and the island of Taiwan cross the red line, the PLA fighter jets will fly over the island. This is a practical move with strong deterrence. It will unmistakably declare China's sovereignty over the Taiwan island, overwhelming various word games and plots from the US and the island. It will also clearly illustrate the development of the situation across the Taiwan Straits, making a brand new start of Chinese mainland getting control of the situation across the Taiwan Straits.

If US and Taiwan's tricks continue, a major crisis in the Taiwan Straits is bound to take place. We must put forward thunder-like measures before the crisis comes. We must be dauntless toward a showdown, and completely knock out the arrogance of the US and Taiwan island and make the effect of our victory long-lasting. To deal with the highly intense contest, China should make full mental and military preparations.

This would certainly be an opportune time for China to take Taiwan while the U.S. is in a weakened position.

(Heavily dependent on China, an executive branch that may be unwilling to seriously commit to defense of Taiwan.)
 
Because they know they have to keep the pressure on China thinking the current US administration is definitely not going to get any stronger with them. The British said that they were going to show the world their naval power is back.
