China will end up taking the island. A conflict between the US and China will never happen. China has to understand when they do take Taiwan it will be in shambles.
China should look at how fast the west removed Russia from economic coexistence when it invaded Ukraine. There wouldn’t be any products manufactured in China for Western consumption within a year of them invading Taiwan.
A war for an island full of people who hate your fukkin’ guts…? And then the US shuts down ALL trade with china…? I really don’t see this happening. Taiwan can certainly cause a world of hurt on china. And if china does not win in 3 days (like russia…) it’s going to be a long, drawn out, painful war for…… (what, again?)… oh yeah, an island full of people who will want to kill you.
Taiwan will never compromise on Taiwan. What the US wants is inconsequential.
Is this the final warning?
Taiwan has never been occupied by the Communists. The nationalists have never been beaten or have surrendered, they just moved to Taiwan. China (CCP) is claiming that because they took the mainland area of China, that Taiwan needs to capitulate and surrender. Taiwan could apply a similar request that the CCP to surrender to it and become a democratic republic. So either Taiwan votes to surrender and become governed by Beijing or China needs to finish them off.
I mean, they kind of already are.
Sounds reasonable
China’s economy is likely to collapse over the mountains of interconnected debt long before they get a chance to act. They’re nearing the event horizon of a significant economic collapse and will likely have bigger internal political problems before their “unification” plans for Taiwan comes to pass. …. As an aside don’t forget to ask your financial planner what your current emerging markets exposure is.
The people of Taiwan and the people of Hong Kong deserve independence in my opinion.
If Taiwan is invaded, I don’t believe the war would be similar at all to what we’re seeing in Ukraine as some have stated. An island is much more defensible. Churchill knew this
They don’t need to compromise, they just need to not escalate either.
“Final warning”
Xi Jinping needs a scapegoat to protect his regime and long-term presidency. If he conquers the democratic nation Taiwan, his approval rating will go higher. What’s more, China’s internal economy hasn’t shown a positive situation recently after the Western companies’ exodus. Thus, he needs a few achievements as a leader of China to persuade raging Chinese citizens. If China gets Taiwan, the CCP regime also can get the promising business technology to produce digital chipsets in China’s mainland. Then he can solve China’s serious jobless problems for younger Chinese people. So, he can’t stand back on this important matter in front of the US to make sure of his power and regime. If his plan is going to be successful, his presidency would be longer until his death like Mao’s case.
Yeah that beautiful little island with a flourishing democracy and thriving economy can’t possibly be tolerated by the Mainlaind China ruled by an unelected CCP with a stodgy economy. Taiwan forever!
China has a 90 day oil reserve on hand if it goes to war, and imports almost all of the oil it needs through the straights of Malacca. Super easy to blockade and completely cut off their supply. The US produces more oil than it consumes.
Even if they manage an amphibious assault which will be extremely difficult, running out of oil would cripple them.
They already have compromised by chickening out this long.
I like how they think they’ll just get tsmc if they take over Taiwan
What’s next? Invading Laos, Burma, Vietnam, and Mongol?
Im going to say / ask the stupidest thing you all have ever read on Reddit :
-But what if Taiwan randomly changed their countries name? Would that piss off China so much they just give up on their dream of invading?
Let Xini the poop die and then we will see.
Kind advice:
You all should read and study something about China and Taiwan before writing nonsense bs 😉
Aiseven tells China “You’re a butt hole” on issue of Taiwan.
China doesn’t want Taiwan yet. Taiwan is useless unless they control Korea first.
Again? That is so idiotic. China (PRC) has zero claim on Taiwan. IPRC never ruled Taiwan and Taiwan does not want to be ruled by them. What is actually annoying is that the world is forced to humour these psychopaths.
This preposterous posturing is as hollow a threat as it is infeasible. Not a single strategy that China can employ would manage to occupy the island in a cost-benefit way and even if it did they would not be able to hold it. The only way to seize this territory would be to somehow convince Taiwan to willingly join the PRC but this cannot happen while Taiwan enjoys the status of being a “Westernized China” with the support of the USA
Sounds like someone needs nukes 👀
This is a stupid strategy. Just admit the statehood of Taiwan and you will get a loyal ally. Even the America couldn’t do that.
What to do when you’re a dictator with economic problems? Vilify your neighbor, invade, and then act like you’re the only one who can lead the country in war time. Chinas economy is in trouble. I fully expect Xi to invade.
China acts like a rapey stalker similar to that woman in the movie misery
**Neither will we, Xinnie the Poo.**
“one nation policy” is such a joke. If they were serious they’d be focusing on outer Manchuria which is populated by more Chinese than Russians these days. How many Chinese live in Taiwan again? Oh yeah, that’s right.. Not to mention that’s recent history compared to ancient history.
CCP has never hinted at the possibility of a compromise. Since day one they have been crystal clear: they will take Taiwan, it’s just a matter of time.
China: We’ll never compromise!
American: Ah, okay then… anyways…
Taiwan: Wouldn’t be an election year without that same ol’ same ol’.
