The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using the Wuhan coronavirus to advance its geostrategic position, an analyst said.

While other nations are distracted in coping with the virus, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has stepped up activities in the First Island Chain, which extends from Japan through the Ryukyus, Taiwan and the Philippines, and in the more distant Second Island Chain that extends from Japan down through Guam, Richard Fisher wrote for the Taipei Times on May 4.

“The CCP dictatorship is callously exploiting the China Virus as a weapon to extend its military control from the First Island Chain to the Second Island Chain,” Fisher, a Geostrategy-Direct.com contributing editor, wrote.
