Plot twist: TesticlesTheRash was talking about the US
To be clear I’m joking, no way they actually were.

And yes I did upvote the one lib because to me, a lib who understands China isn’t going to invade Taiwan any day now is significantly smarter than the average worldnews poster lol.
I actually think China will “invade” (you cant invade your own territory) Taiwan pretty soon. Not because they want to, but because the US will soon prepare a provocation, like an independence declaration, forcing China to swiftly respond. I hope it doesnt happen but i think it will. US is getting desperate, they will attack China through Taiwan just like they did to Russia through Ukraine.
Idk, Doesnt China have really impressive long term policies and they are good in mantaining pressure in disadvantagious situations?
Maybe they already have planned several countermeasures that do not include an actual invasion.
Chinas plan is to reunify Taiwan in China following “one country, two systems”, just like in Hong Kong and Macau. Taiwan will be part of China but retain its current political and economic system, separate from the mainland. This is what was agreed in 1990 between the CPC and the Kuomintang. However, now you have the DPP, fanatic antichina liberals funded by the US, in power. They reject reunification and want independence, following US orders, and its possible they may declare independence soon. China has already said that this is a red line. If Taiwan declares independence, then there will be military intervention. This is what China said.
I hope US collapses before this
Same
At least the KMT haved some common sense after chiang kai check died, but those puppet libs are an lost cause.
Indeed, KMT at least knew that Taiwan is part of China. DPP are straight up NPCs, they dont think critically, they only obey US orders.
I hope the military intervention/operation will be quick and decisive if it comes to that point.
I think it surely will be. Taiwan is a small island and with a weak military capacity, its nothing like Ukraine. It also doesnt have armies of fanatics like Ukraine does. The average DPP supporter are privileged petty bourgeois kids. They dont have the spirit to fight an actual war. As soon as chinese missiles start falling, they will forget about independence and “freedom”. Unless US forces intervene on the side of Taiwan, the military operation will be quick and painless.
What happens in the scenario of “US forces intervene on the side of Taiwan”
I think in this case we all gonna die in a beautiful firework demonstration
Then the plan laid out in the paper “War with China” by RAND Corporation (a NATO affiliated think tank) would be implemented by the US.

If successful, this would severely cripple Chinas economy, cementing the status of the US as the world economic superpower for many decades. Of course China probably has a counterplan for this event.
US is getting desperate
Why would the US be getting desperate, Taiwan is exactly where they want it right now, they just want maintain the status quo.
China will inevitably surpass the US as the worlds top economic power by 2025 or earlier, which will destroy the US economy based on infinite debt sustained only by the US dollars world dominance. The US wants to provoke a war with China over Taiwan to cripple its economy so it cant surpass the US. This was clearly laid out in 2016 in the paper “War with China” by RAND Corporation (a NATO affiliated think tank).
China has more or less surpassed it already on multiple metrics. The emerging youth of USA is also not a human resource, but a liability, so the situation becomes even better because I want Anglo empire to collapse completely, beyond recovery.
Reagan economics over Roosevelt’s, and Bernays’ model for USA is working well.
Yep, I hear that China is becoming the world’s #1 trade partner (majority of nations on Earth trade w/ US or China primarily, the number is rapidly growing for China and US is slowly receding.) not sure if they reached it yet, but I believe the estimate was that they could do it by 2025 and would MOST CERTAINLY do it by 2030(barring any impossible to predict circumstances) so yea China is def becoming the biggest trade partner in a few years
They are already the biggest trading partner overall from what I see. You can check https://atlas.cid.harvard.edu
For real, i wish the US had a Roosevelt now. He would be friends with Russia and China and stop this senseless aggression against them.
not just economically, but specifically technology plays an important role. technological supremacy is a large part of why the west and the US is able to maintain imperial supremacy, especially since technology plays such an important role in military supremacy. hypersonic weapons is a good demonstrator of this. there is a 5-15 year window in which the US might feel it would be able to win a small or large scale conflict, and it would rather fight with a seeming advantage than not. taking TSMC (depending on the timeframe, both countries are aiming for self-sufficiency) could also be a killing blow on US infrastructure and its ability to produce high-end military hardware.
The PRC do want reunification soon though, and I think the US will probably try to undermine it in order to force military intervention. And we should remember that a lot of us claimed that Putin would never invade Ukraine.
But I admit I would love being proven wrong.
same, I would be running through the streets with a PRC flag
Why yes, I am an expert on international geoplitcal relations and political ideologies. How can you tell?

I refuse to watch Dr. Strange, and refused to go out with my friends to watch it, even though it was the first post-COVID reunion for me.
Call me a stubborn idiot.
Lol im prob not gonna watch either, but any particular reason why, I’m personally just done seeing the same movie 30 times in a decade
Because I hate how Marvel is a brainwash tool of US military, aimed at teenagers.
I mean, China would be affected but almost certainly wouldn’t go bankrupt. The US on the other hand…
