I wonder how the World will react if China violently takes Taiwan? Will it be similar to this? Is it even possible?
If China takes Taiwan I predict there will be some initial outrage, some real, some fake, but it will go back to business as usual very soon.
I’ve been wondering about this myself. My thinking is that Russia and China have some sort of understanding about each other’s territorial goals. I did think that if one went, the other would very soon follow. However, if the Russians find themselves in a big enough stink hole over Ukraine, the Chinese may decide the risk isn’t worth it, at least for now.
