China is stepping up military preparedness to overtake Taiwan, the island's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said on Wednesday

[Zorro!]

So what happened to Iraq that we took over and tore it to shreds?

So wait, since the Iraq war went bad, nobody in the US should object to a Chinese military takeover of Taiwan?

I'm certain that I'm not following your logic. Care to explain?

Communists who used to love Russia, now love China after Russian Communism failed. But, with a twist. You see the reason Russian Communism failed.... wait for it... is because they are so White!

They take China's side on every issue; forced organ harvesting, environmental destruction, Muslim slavery, it's all fine!

NO. ANYTHING ELSE? China tells US to stop building relationship with Taiwan after economic dialogue announcement.

• US announces discussions on technology industry as Taiwanese president says she will lift ban on American beef and pork imports

US assistant secretary of state David Stilwell said that the United States and Taiwan would
establish a new economic dialogue focused on semiconductors, health care, energy and other technology sectors.

He added that while the US was updating its engagement with Taiwan, its actions are well within the boundaries of our one-China policy and did not take a position on Beijing’s claims of sovereignty over Taiwan.

Just as the West did with Poland and others in 1939, we will turn our backs once again on an ally. You can see how weak Western leadership it today, it's offensive to the human soul.

There is a coordinated effort to assist China in their rise, far too many outspoken about their ambitions.

Chinese military threat on the rise, Taiwan foreign minister warns

TAIPEI (Reuters) - China is stepping up military preparedness to overtake Taiwan, the island's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said on Wednesday, following a recent spike of Chinese drills near the island which Beijing considers its own.

Taiwan has complained that China has stepped up threatening military activities near Taiwan in recent months. Beijing has not renounced the use of force to bring the democratic island under its control.

"Looking on the long-term trend, China appears to be gradually stepping up its military preparedness, especially in air or on the waters near Taiwan," Wu told reporters.

"What China is doing now is continuing to ramp up preparedness to solve the Taiwan issue," he said.

"The threat is on the rise."

Beijing routinely says such exercises are nothing unusual and are designed to show the country's determination to defend its sovereignty.

Taiwan's defence ministry in June reported eight incidents of intrusion of Chinese military planes in its air defence identification zone, in which Taiwan jets gave radio warnings to usher the intruders out of the airspace.

Seriously, I never thought the US would actually ever militarily oppose an invasion of Taiwan. Just never seemed like something the American people would really get behind. All any of us really know about them is the shoddiest goods ever imported to America.

Taiwan is as important to us as Israel, and for many of the same reasons.

We are making sure they are well-armed. No one did that post WWII Poland.

Taiwan News reported, "Derek Grossman, a senior defense analyst at the Washington, D.C.-based think tank RAND Corporation, believes the U.S. has significantly changed its policy on arms sales to Taiwan.

"Grossman stated that the U.S. has sold many types of weapons, including iconic weapons systems such as F-16 fighters, to Taiwan in the past to enhance the island country's asymmetric defense capabilities. However, he noted that the U.S. has clearly adjusted its approach, Deutsche Welle reported.

"Grossman believes the U.S. hopes Taiwan can become powerful enough militarily to counter China. The Pentagon’s goal, he stated, is to make Taiwan an indestructible fortress, helping it establish an effective enough defense to prevent China from conducting an amphibious landing during a potential war."

Pray for peace, prepare for war.

Taiwan would not be easy for China to take, which is why the CCP has never ruled Taiwan, not for a single day.

Why would China invade Taiwan?

It would lead to an economic boycott that would destroy the advances they have made over the last 30 years

Because china plans on taking over the world-----------they are pushing the limits and seizing what they can when they can. Taiwan is a target of theirs.

So what? They have been preparing for invasion for 70 years and they are not a soft target. It's certainly not in the interests of the The Quad for them to take Taiwan.

The world is pretty fed up with China, I'm not sure a war of aggression against a peaceful neighbor would go particularly well for them.

You mean such as reneging on H.K, building man-made islands int he South China Sea, spying on the wold and stealing their citizens information, sending a virus to the world and then lying about it's effects.

Are these the type of actions that would be called out by global leaders so strongly, or would they allow it to occur in silence?

Agree

It is not in China’s economic interest to enter an unprovoked war with Taiwan. It would create worldwide embargo’s

I also agree that Taiwan is no easy target. They have planned defenses against an invasion for 70 years.
With satellite images, it would be clear that an invasion is coming as it would take thousands of ships.
Ships that could easily be sunk

China is an evil power grabbing threat to the world now-------------time to fight back. We can do so by cutting their money supply............time to manufacture anywhere but china.

Yup! Trump's on it!

​

He arrested the plunge, leveled it out, and now has turned it in the right direction.

China has proven that they are untrustworthy, and yes, we need to move our supply chains to more responsible partners.

When you are relying on lying slaver outlaws who will loose a pandemic on you, despite that cheap price-tag, they are actually very expensive to deal with.

If the Lying Outlaw Slavers attack Taiwan and are repelled with their vast army drowned in the strait, that's probably the end of the CCP totalitarian dictatorship over mainland China.

Taiwan needs lots and lots and lots of US weapons in order to keep peace.

If the Lying Outlaws of Beijing are dumb enough to attack their peaceful neighbors in Taiwan, it's on the Rocky Cliffs of Taiwan that the Lying Outlaws of Beijing are relegated to the ash heap of history.

You think Home Alone was bad, wait until the world seas the firey hell that the freedom fighters of Taiwan are prepared to loose on the hapless Lying Outlaw Killer Slavers of Beijing if they launch a war of aggression against them.

Trump of course, is with the forces of freedom. China's military leaders complain that their PLA troops are weak because they masturbate constantly and only want to play video games. Should they be dumb enough to attack the hardened forces of freedom on Taiwan, but sending these slugs by the millions, in fishing boats, to try to land on Taiwan, their boats would be destroyed on the defensive structures that fiercely protect the very few beaches of their perimeter, that is mostly steep rock cliffs.

As they flounder there, dying, then the undersea gaslines will be fired, engulfing them in the holy hell of drowning as they are burned alive.

Free Forces of Taiwan buy top of the line American Equipment

Fearless Taiwan's military has historically been superior to China's. Taipei's close ties to the US guaranteed it access to some of the most advanced weapons available.

It has operated US-made U-2 spy planes and was the first country to shoot down an enemy aircraft with the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile. Even today, Taiwan's Apache Longbow helicopter gunships and Patriot missile batteries are still among the most advanced systems in service with any military.

But once the Lying Outlaw Slavers bought off US politicians, the US held off on arms sales leaving Taiwan's military with a lot of largely outdated equipment. Trump is reversing those short-sited policies.

​

Peace-keepers, ready to loose terrible fiery hell on the hordes of aggressors, in fishing boats, drowning them in the Strait of Taiwan should the vile evil Slavers attack their peaceful neighbors in Taiwan.

The objective is not just to fight and win a war, but to make it so clear that attacking is suicide, that the Lying Outlaw Slavers of Beijing are too filled with fear to even attempt it.

Taiwan, with Trump's help, continues to arm itself with conventional weapons and asymmetrical and anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) weapons of the first order.

Taiwan has increased its defense budget and recently purchased 66 F-16 fighters from the US. It on buying M1A2 Abrams tanks, anti-ship missiles, drones, and sea mines, as well as advanced rocket-artillery systems and cruise missiles capable of striking the mainland with mighty blows that they will never forget.

Taiwan is also investing heavily in its own defense industry. It launched its first fast mine-laying ship in August and will begin construction on the first of eight modern and domestically built submarines in November. The flotilla of fishing boats filled with the PLA will never know what hit them, even as it hits and hits and hits and hits.

Taiwan and the US are deadly serious about the island's defense.

The Lying Outlaw Slavers of Beijing should focus on being a better neighbor and trading partner for the world, rather than wars of aggression against their fed up neighbors.

IMAGINE WHAT BIDEN’S POLLING WOULD BE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE FAKE NEWS DNC-MSM: Joe Biden’s polling lead slips in wake of Post report on Hunter.

Biden Family Crime Boss, aka, Ten Percent For The Big Guy!
​

This vile piece of crap is sending his coke and meth addled son out to collect "The Vig" from foreign leaders even though it is clearly leading his son to an early grave.

Drug Addled Biden, in a story so similar to those heard among the recovered in 12 step meetings all across the great land, of a life a destruction hurdling toward sure death, when they hit bottom and and recovery by some unexplainable act, such as dropped the laptop off with all the incriminating facts, and then ignored all the calls, texts and emails asking him to come and retrieve it.

May Hunter collect his 90 day chip rather than an early funeral, because, it generally comes down to one or the other, one thing from sure, Hunter needs a wall between himself and "The Big Guy" who is killing him.

Crime Family Boss, Joe Biden is currently top in the running as the most horrible father in America.

USA betrayed Chang Kai Shek and supported Mao, that is why this Taiwan dispute exists.
Taiwan is mostly Han and so is much of China as well as Xi. So what Taiwan and Xi need to do is make a deal that they are both of the Han Nation, and are brothers with their own house. Neither will initiate the use of force against the other and they also protect each other. As part of that deal Mainland China has access to deep water channels for it's submarines. This way, everyone wins and the stupid kill crazy Yanks are out of the picture.

Why is Taiwan an ally?

Only because Taiwan annoys China. If Taiwan were elsewhere and China didn't want it, the US wouldn't care.
