The CCP is terrified that their citizens will realize how much better life is in Taiwan.

That's pretty blatant (-_-)

Hope we supply Taiwan enough before it happens that China gets absolutely fucking annihilated to the point where they don't even think ending the world w/ nuclear war would help them take the damn island.

Like, "create a land bridge of dead bodies in the gulf between the two countries" level of ass blasting.
The only way these invasions end is when the soldiers invading decide that they have a better chance of survival turning against their commanders than they do following orders.

I really really hope that one day China will realize that Taiwan has been separated from the mainland for far too long to ever be reabsorbed into China. China has shown in Hong Kong that the one country two systems model was a pants on fire lie. The Taiwanese people have shown that they reject the need for control that has plagued every Chinese government from the dynasties to the CCP.

Why would China ever realize that? China believes Taiwan is theirs already.

Because there's no way forward for reunification. The two countries have remained separated for over 70 years and have diverged too much to ever come together at least as long as China remains an authoritarian and borderline (if that) Orwellian nightmare to live in (from the Taiwanese perspective. ) If China tries to force reunification that would usher in WW III which neither the US nor China can really claim victory in. There would be a winner and a loser but both sides would be harmed greatly by a total war. The Taiwanese people clearly can't trust the Chinese government to give them home rule so that's out too.

Reunification isn't worth China's trouble.

False. No one wins in a WW3 scenerio.

The only one I can see is that the military will use the roads to memorize the route & layout, which would make vehicles surrounding the palace more efficient were they to commit to attacking.

Taiwan is like 80% in favor of keeping the status quo. There's no need for China to rock the boat. It's much cheaper and better for everyone to just keep pretending like it's part of China.

Dunno, what with Russia showing WW3 didnt happen, China surely has ideas.

If WW III happens between the two I don't think nukes would be used nor do I think either side would risk invading the other's mainland. A war between the two sides would be mostly naval and air based.

I don't think the US ever threatened Russia that invading Ukraine would mean war. They have threatened that China forcing reunification with Taiwan will result in US military action.

I don't think China will do anything honestly. Their main focus seems to be on wumao posting. Any time I've ever heard a story of Chinese nationals hacking something in America it's always been because they're looking for CCP dissidents.

With how hawkish the red team is with regards to China, I don't think they want Slug Virus back. Someone like that orange Hutt is a loose cannon at the best of times but if he thinks he can do whatever the hell he wants China can only be hurt by that considering they have more or less become the US opponent in the Second Cold War.

Russia is the country more likely to do that shit.

Dumb loose cannon that keeps praising dictators seems pretty useful for China.

I watched some YouTube Street interviews in China and it seemed like they were mostly in favor of Trump because it made America weaker which was better for China.

They would probably not be as favorable towards a non meme republican.

Nah they would love to have an incompetent US leader with an incompetent administration that has shown to be easily bribed.

No. The last actual combat experience China had is them invading Vietnam in 1979 (and China losing that war).

I suppose you could count Tienanmen Square and putting down Hong Kong protests as "combat experience" but that's not really relevant in invading a sovereign country like Taiwan.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. There were literal insurrectionists and anarchists torching the city, and justice needed to be dealt to them.

Self-projecting much? Reuters has proven that Trump/the CIA has been running a covert operation using fake social media accounts to smear China. Makes me wonder how many of these xenophobic "CHINA BAD" accounts were literally getting paid by Trump and the CIA.

More and more people are beginning to realize that serpentza and laowhy are racist grifters and are instead turning to Ben Norton and Cyrus Janssen for truthful news about China.
