The editor of China's state-backed Global Times newspaper has taken aim at an article published in the professional journal of the U.S. army which calls for a return of American forces to Taiwan.
Hu Xijn tweeted his disdain at the piece written by Capt. Walker D. Mills, from the U.S. Marine Corps in the latest edition of Military Review.
In the piece, Mills says that the regional balance of power in East Asia is shifting away from the United States and Taiwan and towards mainland China. In his view, this meant that the U.S. needed to consider basing ground forces on the island "if it is committed to defending Taiwanese sovereignty."
The article headlined "Deterring the Dragon," has Mills warning that the current power balance made a surprise attack on Taiwan "more likely" and believes that American leadership has to "face down" international pressure "against a deliberate and more global conflict with China."

China vs. USA, Australia, India, Japan, England, and some NATO troops
Good luck.
The Chinese Communist Party has no idea about the Real World
Newsweek- another mouthpiece for China and H1-B1 visas !
If I can be briefly serious, I hope the Chicoms, Russians, Iranians and North Koreans do not believe the CNN and MSNBC panels that Trump is on his way out by removal from office before being trounced by a huge election loss. Then the foreign countries could risk attacks and bullying stances to dare the weakened Trump without fear of retaliation.
In the 60s other countries were said to fully believe that “shutting down the universities in America by student protests against the war would cause change of government” because all their countries have had that happen. Here it was a joke “We can save the tuition money wasted. Let them stay closed with hippies sleeping on the college president’s office floor. So what?”
...Made in China
(like everything else)
I really don’t think I want to see my kids deployed to Taiwan. If China wants to invade, they will invade. There isn’t much we would be able to do about it.
Purchased for $1.
No more H1-B’s, and tax Chinese imports and companies that outsource to China.
Nor should we. Not every fight in the world is ours.
Already have fired the first shot with the Wuhan flu.
I’ve spent time in Taiwan. 10-15% of their population live and work in Mainland China. The leader of the KMT (one of the major political parties there) was recently discovered to have secretly held talks in Macau with the Chinese Government. They have divided loyalties.
Every wealthy Taiwanese has a USA, Australia, Canada, NZ or other passport and usually a home and bolt-hole somewhere else.
Avoiding military service is a common game for young people there.
If they want true independence, they would follow the Swiss and send every army conscript home with his battle rifle. Of course, their government would never consider doing something like that.
I have ZERO interest in American boys and girls dying for Taiwan.
Print this up and get this out there in your precincts
There seems to be a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to create an economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. Letting that happen will create problems we don’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved.

John Bolton has his fingers crossed.
.
We absolutely should not station any US forces in Taiwan.
But they should visit every once in a while, just to rub China’s nose in it.

One of the dangers of any system like this is that you form a bubble around the leadership which becomes insulated from reality.
The “underlings” always want to impress the great leader, and success by programs advocated by the party or some prominent leader sells better than saying it failed or brought mixed results. You even have it here in the US within government bureaucracies. The mid level managers know to echo whatever the flavor of the day is and they know what they shouldn’t criticize... Do you think Wolfowitz wanted to hear how the Iraqi’s weren’t celebrating us as liberators in 2003? Do you think the Obama Holder administration wanted to hear about voter intimidation by the new Black Panthers? But in a system like in China where you don’t even have a semblance of a right to free speech, privacy, etc. and a single all powerful party, this distortion tends to take on (cliché follows) “epic” proportions as with Nero in Rome, Saddam in Iraq, Idi Amin in Uganda...
They think they can pull the same stuff on others, they pull
on their own people.
Just wars end up with just dead people.
The Chinese are not immortal.
There would be costs to others too.
Taiwan is not China’s property.
To bad, so sad, your dad.
Chinese leadership is so immature. It has over a billion
citizens and a very large land mass. It has large deposits
of natural resources. It could be content. It has chosen
to demand property not it’s own outside it’s borders.
Sooner or later, it’s going to get schooled, when other
nations have had enough.
We could deport EVERY Chinese citizen in the US for starters. All college students, PHD candidates, etc.
