Chinese state-run media says 'PLA will heavily attack US troops who come to Taiwan's rescue'
China's state-run media on Thursday (Dec. 9) warned that Chinese forces would attack U.S. troops if they attempted to come to Taiwan's aid when the "reunification force" invades.
On Tuesday (Dec. 7), U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that his country would "take every action" to ensure that a scenario in which Russia and China simultaneously invade Ukraine and Taiwan, respectively, "never happens." In an editorial posted on Thursday, China's state-owned Global Times attempted to cast doubt about America's willingness to defend Taiwan in the event of an invasion by People's Liberation Army (PLA) forces.
The publication claimed that Sullivan's "boast" is not credible because the U.S. "simply cannot build a deterrent to prevent" China from "carrying out reunification by force." It said the U.S. does not have the "true will to defend Taiwan at all costs."
The editorial pointed out that the U.S. is mainly supporting the buildup of Taiwan's self-defense capabilities through the sale of weapons. However, it argued that these weapons "are generally destined to be destroyed by the People's Liberation Army" as soon as the "reunification force" makes its move.
The author then warned, "It is credible that the PLA will heavily attack US troops who come to Taiwan's rescue." Believing that China is achieving a military advantage in the region, the article said PLA capabilities are "increasingly overwhelming the deterrence that U.S. troops may have."

power in Communist China rests with no more than five families

Yes and there is a wiki page I saw that lists them. Xi comes from on of them. From what I gather they often ‘war’ with each other - Xi’s faction is on top but the other factions hate him and would kill him at the first opportunity.
I’d tell China to figure out what to do when they do that and we put 3-4 JDAMs, airborne or cruise torpedos at the dam head below the surface or Bunker Busters on the water side of the 3 gorges dam or at the base near the support , after we lock up the spillways and overflow chutes. Then EMP a couple of their cities.
MF’ers want to play... That’s when we start culling the communists here first and then help the Taiwanese, Japanese, Koreans and Vietnamese burn those f#ckers.
In his June 2015 escalator speech/announcement of his candidacy, Donald Trump zeroed in on lopsided trade terms with China and Mexico.
The short of it is that DJT threatened Deep State profits. He had to go by any means necessary.
Today our oligarchic rulers grow rich at the expense of We the People.
I’m not sure how long this can go on, but I’m sure it cannot go on forever.
And then there are the Freepers who supported and defended the free trade deals with the Chicoms. It didn't occur to them the Chicoms would steal the technology and use our money to build their military? As Conservatives, we should have been able to see that coming from the communists, but I guess our side was too blinded by our support for W to see it.
Now like W's handiwork in botching the winnable wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, his free trade deals have left the country in tatters.
