China is on the March and increasingly threatening to Taiwan

[martybegan]

The US has always enforced the "Freedom of the Seas/Navigation" even around China's new man-made islands, unless Putin's Whore stops the Navy.

A United States Navy warship conducted a "freedom of navigation operation" Wednesday aimed in part at challenging China's claims in the South China Sea, the second such operation in as many days near disputed islands that the US has accused Beijing of militarizing.

Interesting take on excess Chinese males. Sink them around Taiwan?? Depends on their average age. If they're under 10 we have a while.

The One Child Policy was enacted back in the 80's I believe.

The US and other nations have enforced it when enforcing wouldn't result in World War III.

OK, but the USN has challenged China's claims in the South China Sea, and China blinked.
So far so good.

China's increasing of pressure by invading Taiwan's airspace is just a softening up exercise to get the Biden regime accustomed to China's dominance of Taiwan.

We can expect this pressure to increase until a point is reached that they feel safe to take some sort of actual military action against Taiwan.

I think this will be sooner rather than later.....definitely before mid-terms.

As they see their man Biden getting weaker and weaker they are going to speed up whatever it is they have planned for Taiwan....thinking it best to strike before the democrats are thoroughly defeated in the mid-term elections.

That weakness as in giving the Aussies the secrets of our Nuke powered sub and helping Japan's military be forward projecting for the first time since WWII needed.

Oh and the weakness of extended all of Trump's trade tariffs against China

China can do whatever it wants. There is no one to stop them

You make a great point.

Maybe the Chinese can get the Taiwanese to hate Taiwan and call themselves racist and implode.

Just have a "woke" culture creep in and take over all their corporations and government.

Then tell the stooges what to do.

This is what distinguished Hitler from Stalin. Hitler knew that bureaucrats could not even run government, let alone corporations. So he let the experts stay in control while manipulating them to do his bidding. The model Hitler used is the ones Progressives use today and the CCP has used on the US.

Then again, maybe they have already taken the time to buy off the US government, so why dick around with the rest. Just bull doze in with no one to stop you.

China can carry out mass extermination on a racial group and then turn around and unleash a Pandemic they tried to cover up and all the democrats talk about is how they need China to embrace their climate change.

Can you imagine Hitler today being groomed by the Left to try and embrace climate change that would make everything OK?

The US Navy might disagree with you.

Technically Taiwan is part of China. Can't blame them for taking back what really is part of their country. They are a break away and not actually its own independent country.

Blinked, but they keep sending forces there, as well as trying to create new "islands" they claim as their own territory.

On the plus side we have the Philippines and Vietnam with us opposing China's bullying. Less for their military power, more for the political impact.

Taiwan is a focal point for them. They never forgot not stopping the Nationalists from escaping.

Its much more complicated than that. Taiwan claims independence from the PRC. The US protects Taiwan from invasion. Its that simple. Taiwan is a very important manufacturing supplier for US companies. Now that China is becoming more belligerant, Wall Street is exiting slowly rather than boost China's power, moving jobs to other countries.

The Chinese game of "go" may provide insights into the Chinese mentality of domination. Go is nothing like chess, which is "war". Go is a very long game of strangling your opponent like an anaconda. It like the Taliban on steroids, "you have the watches, but we have the time".
How long can the US afford to be the world's cop?
When will our $30T debt finally bite us on the ass?
China can wait.

Imo the question is the questions about Xi's aims. It was one thing when we assumed the goal of a quasi-free market China was to grow its middle class and spread prosperity everywhere. Is that still a safe assumption, assuming it ever was.

To me their population time bomb added to them trying to replicate a capitalist society with communists running it means they can't, at least not as long as they want to.

China can’t build a bridge how can they win any war?

They are ahead of us in many areas of technology and they beat us once already and actually were the main reason we lost the Vietnam War.

The Chinese are much smarter than Americans....and then there is joe biden....America has become the laughing stock of the World.

You need to take a long rest...study up....and refrain from further stupid comments.

I do not think they intend to wait.....not for much longer....as I have said...they will act before the midterms.

No....and it never was.....just propaganda and it was quite effective...what they are doing is a two pronged preparation for domination of the world....build up their economy and use that as far as they possibly can to gain control and domination....also at the same time keep building up their military.....the fastest military buildup in History and have it ready to go when needed.

Anyone who wants to understand China must understand Mao....they still follow his dictims.

I'm waiting for a pretext for invasion.
One of the Chinese planes will be attacked or some other pretext will happen to justify the Chinese invasion.
If our satellites see the Chinese loading troops on transports we know the shit just hit the fan.
What will Xiden do, knowing that Xi gave Hunter $1,500,000,000 "to invest"......
Then again, Xi isn't one to gamble. How tough is the Taiwan military?

Unless I'm mistaken.....

Japan has vowed that an attack on Taiwan will be regarded as an attack on Japan.
