After watching that Patriot battery in Kiev go 0-for-30 then get zapped by a Kinzhal, how could any sane person even begin to think it's credible that the US could float a carrier group (or any other sea-borne assets) to Taiwan for it's defense against China?
Another thing about that Patriot volley that I haven't seen anyone note is that at least three of them were fizzles that took off the wrong way and had to be destroyed. Ten percent flat-out failure rate? What poop!
What am I saying? They probably popped champagne when none of them blew up in the tubes.
There is possibility that in reality China will eventually have to protect Taiwan from US with full Taiwan agreement and demand for that.
Some history: At the beginning of revolution in China, there was coalition of political parties named Gomindan, and CCP was integral part of that coalition. Then, due to some disagreements between CCP and other Gomindan members CCP quit Gomindan and in subsequent clashes CCP took mainland (PRC) and Gomindan took Taiwan (RoC). However, both parts of Chineese population have similar views on China. Both believe that mainland and island should finally join into one country, and both assume that there is nothing impossible in CCP joining Gomindan again.
So it is quite possible that People Republic of China and Republic of China will find a way to assemble back without any help of laovai (aliens, as they name us, Europeans) in some kind of union or as RoC being autonomous region in exchange to participation or representation in PRC politics. HongKong and Macao things worked somehow, why Taiwan can't, especially if CCP will propose something tasty for Taiwan elites?
Modern CCP is not the CCP of Mao, they could find a way to smooth tensions with Gomindan.
It was barely mentioned in MSM, but semi-official visits of present and former PRC politicians to RoC and vice versa intensified in last few years on the background of constant China shaming in US with invasion of US politicians to Taiwan.
Also, take in account, that RoC is not very happy that the West expropriate most part of profit of Taiwaneese factroies. And it is not the past times when poor Taiwaneese agreed to work for cup of rice for Western corporations, at least one generation changed since and Taiwaneese youth look at job opportunities quite different.
Same happens in PRC too, but with some delay, because Western corporations started to outsource labor to Taiwan earlier than to mainland China. If some forgot, first "Chineese crap" instead of honest Western goods made by white people on the West we got from Taiwan, not from China. Taiwan passed the way from "Cheneese crap" made for cup of rice to the leader of manufacturing in some areas just earlier than China. And now, both PRC and RoC have very same problems with laovai capital having a lever over them.
What if mainland China and Taiwan will play that game with China-Taiwan tensions by their own rules and with their own goals, with getting rid of laovai capital as one of the goals?
And that love of WEF to both PRC and RoC - why do you think that WEF will sacrifice their beloved examples instead of continuing sacrificing West that is in progress?
Along with that strange Western elites claims about bombing Tawan factories in case of China invasion and total misunderstanding of chineese way of thinking in the West, I find probability of PRC and RoC giving a huge (and sudden, as usual) fuck to laovai from the West pretty possible.
China "protect" Taiwan.
lol
Yes. From that AUKUS or whatever. If you think that it is impossible, think again.
What West will do with Taiwan if Taiwan will make a good deal with China? Huge part of Western IP is become real things on Taiwan. Without Taiwan Western IP means and cost absolutely nothing. It is an unacceptable loss for the West air sellers, so they will do anything to take revenge on their rebel vassal. Including bombing Taiwan factories and cities. And here comes China according to that Chineese-Taiwan deal to protect chineese people from insane laovai.
Look for tiny, as if irrelevant contacts between PRC and RoC bureaucracy. If they are increasing, West is in big trouble. If you woud have been knew something about Chineese you would have to know that. Chineese tops are not like Western politicians who would personally push themselves into any hole they see. Chineese traditionally usually use low level stuff for establishing contact, negotiations and even finalising big deals and they do that alsmost silently. Only when you are already established and well known great partner you could be honoured by personal meeting with your Chineese counterpart. And being, say, a CEO who personally runs to China and trying to have a meeting or sign a deal with your counterpart from Chineese side, you will be definitely accounted by Chineese side as a looser or clown who is perfectly allowed to be cheated and betrayed. Even if you will be met with all respect. Also in that case any of your proposals or deals will be accounted by Chineese as a puzzle where they have to find a way to cheat on or humiliate you. If you are a businessman or top manager even in small business, never do that mistake, and if you really need that voyage, send your lowest possible clerk with small present to do that negotiations or whatever.
That latest frequent voyages of US top politicians to Taiwan made absolute clowns from the US authorities in the eyes of Taiwan Chineese. And with high probability they are looking for ways to cheat on them.
The deadly mix of arrogance and ignorance of the West toward other civilizations and cultures is playing a significant role in the current fall of Western civilisation.
Buddy, I'm no fan of the West, it's got lots and lots of problems. But China is led by an objectively evil regime that is genociding Tibetans and white muslims while it's oligarchy harvests the organs of political prisoners, all the while it is building a system of debt slavery for Africa and a techo-dysoptia of social credit scores for it's other citizens as it erases the last vestiges of freedom in Honk Kong.
They ain't the good guys who will protect Taiwan. And knowing some Taiwanese personally who, while they dislike their country's politics, do NOT want it to be taken over by China.
Yea, good assessment. I think it is insane in this day and age with peer armies to think we can project power half way around the world.
hahahaha, I never really considered this moment till now, good one.
