\_ China has been aiming missiles at Taiwan since they got their first
missile. This isn't news. It also isn't news that they're going
to invade as soon as they think they can pull it off.
\_ China won't invade. They'll consider it if Taiwan has a
sovereignty referendum. The U.S. will prevent Taiwan from doing
that. The U.S. and China both prefer the status quo.
\_ Put another democrat in office and they will if they feel they
have the military might to do it. China sure as hell does not
prefer the status quo. It's a humiliation and international
embarassment.
\_ Laughably untrue. PRC gets a lot of money in transfers
from Taiwan. It's not worth their while to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg. If the Brits hadn't
made their silly 99-year lease deal, PRC would not have
annexed Hong Kong either, for the same reasons. Let's
face it: PRC puts on a good show of pushing a state-run
economy, but they prefer the riches that capitalist
throat-cutting brings in.
\_ you have no clue don't you?
\_ contrary to what you may think, the Brits had no
choice. Just like how they lost most of their
\_ evil is what evil speaks.
colonies.
\_ those f***ing brits have yet to paid for their
crime for colonizing half of the globe. fuck them!
\_ IMO, Taiwan is the rebellious child that China can
smack around when it gets tired of anti-U.S. propaganda.
I don't see the Taiwan issue as very humiliating for China,
especially when so many companies continue to move
operations from Taiwan to China.
\_ agree, and I am from Taiwan.
\_ For the cheap labor, not their technical expertise or
management ability. The mainland is being used as the
third world country that it is.
\_ how do you breathe with your head in the sand?
don't you get sand in your snorkel?
\_ I'm just waiting for their brand spanking new dam
to break, killing millions (they've already been
reports of shoddy worksmanship on the project)
\_ evil is what evil speaks. -dubya
\_ you know, you really should shut up or you really
expose your ignorance on this subject. The
mainland has techno-superiority over Taiwan
in many ways.
\_ In exactly what way did I imply any techno
comparison of China with Taiwan? Maybe you
should try rereading my post before arguing
with a point that is nonexistent.
\_ insufficient heavy lift/transport to hold the island b4
forces from the 7th fleet repel the invasion
\_ I heard even Australian navy can beat PRC navy.
\_ you've heard many things my child.
\_ Actually the guy is right. PRC navy is inferior
to Australia's. They only have a chance if it
is close to China's coast such that China's
air force and land-based missiles can play
a role.
\_ so how exactly is B*** admin going to hype
up the China threat thing again?? |
