I guess. I’m just passing along the thoughts of the ROC Air Force and industry that I heard when I worked with them. But it was 20 years ago so if the mainland is running over people with tanks, it’s probably changed.

I thought the tank stopped in the infamous picture of tiennaman square. But I admit, I haven’t been paying attention for awhile.

That tank stopped. But they didn’t allow film of the PLA clearing the square.

You can tell the CCP is following American news, and knows how to pacify the current admin. This will be the excuse China gives while the military boats are landing on the beaches of Taiwan.

Business Insider
A Chinese government spokesperson said the US committed ‘evil crimes’ against Native Americans.

tienamin never happened?

The deaths of a few (tens, hundreds, thousands?) potesters is absolutely nothing …NOTHING … compared to the annihilation that mainland would have to visit upon Taiwan to defeat them militarily.

146

the chinese people don’t care any more than xi does. if taiwan has nukes they will, but not unless.

If Ukraine falls then Taiwan is next. Biden seriously needs to step down, He is clearly in over his head and is going to get a lot of people killed if this presidency continues.

Problem is we no longer have any political party that wants to involve us in other countries conflicts and defense.

And I think this emanates from the public, not from politicians.

We don’t have the resolve to police the world based on indirect US interests. and China and Russia are going to call our bluff on it.

World policeman was a self appointed mantle. Our economic dominance from the end of WWII till just a little while ago allowed us to maintain that mantle, but that time is ending.

Work with NATO and put troops at the border of Ukraine and wave! Once they take over one country they will feel compelled to take over the next one, that’s how Germany became so powerful.

153

And what about Taiwan?

154

It’s too late to send troops now! Biden showed his hand! If Russia would have stood down so would have China. Biden is beholden To who writes his son checks!

Chinese President Xi Jinping told President Joe Biden directly at their recent summit that China will reunify with Taiwan, sources confirmed to ABC News.

NBC News was the first to report the conversation.

It was unclear whether Beijing plans to use force in its effort to reunify with Taiwan, but Xi indicated they will try at first to do so peacefully, the sources said.
