You'd think the ChiComs would figure out that there is a simple solution to this struggle: If you can't beat em, join em.
Pre-invasion preparations.
A military alliance with Nippon will give the CHICOMs pause.
This has NOTHING to do with 'submarines',......move on.
China isn't afraid of us. They have our factories, now they are taking what they want.
A pre-emptive strike to shut up the commies may be necessary..
They do realize we can cause a civil war in their country like they have never seen before by cutting off trade with them don't they ? Go ahead, make my day !
LOL, How long have they been saying this?
I think they are itching for a confrontation soon, however.
I base this on other things, not their rhetorical flourishes.
Thank you Richard Nixon for help in dragging the Chicoms into the 21ST century
Mainland China is a part of Taiwan. It is a crime that mainland China should separate itself from the legitimate aspirations of the Chinese people. The mainland should rejoin with the people of Taiwan!
Gung Ho to the union of democratic Chinese federal states!.
I hope Japan trashes it's peacenik constitution, and buffs up its armed forces more quickly.
Cuck the Fommunist chinese...
I beg to differ with Beijing here. In actuality, the Japanese have both a past, definite tie to Taiwan (a former territory, which became Japanese well before the Japanese aggression of the 1930s and 1940s) as well as current major economic and cultural interest (the travel back and forth is huge and day trips are common). As for the US, we have yet to formally end our technical military governance of the island, while, de facto, stepping aside from that to encourage the government in Taipei to function in all but formality as the government of an independent country. So, any attack on Taiwan is technically a direct attack on the US. It is too bad we've muddied the waters by being too ambiguous and by signing up to foolishness such as the Shanghai Declaration, but no matter. Both we and Beijing are aware of the letter of the law of the Treaty of San Francisco. The only uncertainty for Beijing is, will we, the US, defend what we rightfully ought to, or will we appease and kowtow? I urge the former, not the latter.
