BEIJING/TAIPEI, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Taiwan is "not Ukraine" and has always been an inalienable part of China, China's foreign ministry said on Wednesday, as Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen called for the island to beef up vigilance on military activities in response to the crisis.
The comments come after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson flagged the risk for Taiwan in a warning last week about the damaging worldwide consequences if Western nations failed to fulfil their promises to support Ukraine's independence. read more

Chinese news media posted instructions to social platforms about how to approach coverage on Ukraine, including a note of China’s need for Russian "support" with Taiwan.
One outlet appeared to accidentally post guidelines on what should and should not be published, while an editor from another outlet weighed in with guidance on language and approaches that he believed necessary in walking a fine line.
Ming Jinwei, senior editor at Xinhua News Agency, wrote in his WeChat blog about how his outlet needed to walk a tight line on its Ukraine coverage, noting that China "has to back Russia up with emotional and moral support while refraining from treading on the toes of the United States and European Union."
"In the future, China will also need Russia’s understanding and support when wrestling with America to solve the Taiwan issue once and for all," his post read. Ming said that it "doesn’t hurt" to use moderately pro-Russia language

I would imagine Ruskie web sites are crashing too, just that no one is advertising it.
US is reporting Russia is ready to go for full scale invasion that includes ten landing ships in the Black Sea with troops on board…
How will Putin play this? Start with an air campaign I suppose then staged invasion or simultaneous invasion. I’d say stages because the Ukrainians would be less likely to fully unload. Although staging it out can be dangerous for Russia and the Ukrainians could have a chance to fight off waves. None the less, we are the inflection point. I still say watch for cell signals to go down as the tell tale sign.
From our side of things, we could end up in a cyber world war. We all the allies are going to want to support Ukraine with intelligence and strategy and the Russians are going to want to thwart that and that can lead to a tit for tat involving multiple countries…
