Unification by 2049...that means China will slowly infiltrate Taiwan and take it over from the inside.

The Chinese have patience and an invasion/war now might further dump their economy.

>>Let the Motherland take them. Many Taiwanese support the Motherland. Time for the US to wash our hands off these countries.<<

I agree in somewhat, however you’d better make damn sure you evacuate pro-democracy folks and all the manufacturing capabilities particularly sensitive microchip technology before warshing your hands of Taiwan.

Going head-to-head with China right off their coast is suicide. This is not 1950. War fighting technologies have advanced and we are not the only country that possesses these advanced technologies.

Imagine an aircraft carrier being destroyed with 5000+ sailors on board. Could it happen? I dunno, but you can bet your patookas the Chinese communist have thought long and hard about taking one out.

Meanwhile, the Chinese economy is degrading, some say failing.

The relative prosperity of many is coming to an end as foreign companies desert China for greener pastures. Unemployment becomes a serious problem as the companies leave. The real problem of unemployment is developing in all the economy associated with real estate development. The money has ceased to flow to developers, construction companies, their workers on sites, the suppliers and the supplier workers.

The local governments who don’t tax the people, have lost their primary revenue stream from sale of property to the developers.

Ordinary people have ceased paying their mortgages on apartments for which construction efforts have ceased. Some lacking a place to live are camping in their unfinished apartments absent electricity or plumbing.

Bluster about Taiwan is just a cover for the insoluble problems the CCP faces with the failing economy. Xi is seeking power to control that which he can not remedy

A nice military war would divert a lot of attention away from the domestic crisis and would also justify harsh military law to prevent a revolution


And there is the wrinkle in the plan - China has no social services, no social security, no medicare or medicaid - no social safety net of any sort.

Men join the various branched of the PLA because there are no jobs where they live, they use their paychecks to support their families - which otherwise have no other sources of income and because supporting their families is a cultural imperative.

Now imagine a high casualty rate in that invasion, what do you think will happen internally?

The domestic crisis not would look like nothing - te one now threatens the existence of the Party as infallible, the crisis brought on by dead soldiers would destroy the Party.

An that must be avoided at all costs, as the number one priority of the Party is to protect itself.

If China invades anyone anywhere it will be in Siberia at the Amur River, site of two prior invasions.

This is truly a nightmare. Just think: Biden is NOT even halfway through his term. That’s still a little over 3 months away. After that he has two more YEARS to complete his term. After seeing the hell he has unleashed in just 21 months, does anyone think for one second nuclear war will NOT break out with this a-hole in office?

We are going to wake up one day with the news that either Putin has set off a nuke, or Iran has nuked Israel, or China has invaded Taiwan and is threatening nuclear war should the USA respond, and of course Biden will.

This guy is the disaster of all disasters as President, and he’s not even suppose to be in office, he was appointed by a stolen election and it just gets worse and worse under him and I would not be surprised in the least if WW3 nuke style breaks out and then we will have that little d-bag Fauci “Wear your radiation suit! Get radiation shots and stand 6 feet apart!”

While I believe the chicoms are capable of pulling off an invasion, I don't believe they are able to do it successfully. They have so much internal chaos right now it's hard to imagine what their day to day must be for the long-suffering Chinese people.

The chicoms have their social media trolls trying to push the idiocy that we are in worse shape than they are, that Americans are repressed and have no rights. I met one the other day and called them out to their chagrin. Yet the chicoms have completely screwed over the Chinese people to the point where I absolutely believe they are going through hell, long term before they get out of the hole leftist policy has dug for them.

I feel bad for the Chinese people. I hope they eat the chicoms and that they taste like chicken.

"and Taiwan has a strong will to fight any invasion"

That I think is the key to everything.
If Taiwan is Ukraine and they will fight, then we can help them win.

But if they pull an Afghanistan on us and collapse without a fight, then there's no need for us to waste a single dollar or life trying to defend them.

For any who actually listened to Xi’s speech it’s noteworthy he said a whole lot regarding his approach ‘with’ the Taiwanese long before that one soundbite being spread by the media, and often deceptively misquoted. One thing about China that is well known is they are masters at “Waiting”....I think the only way Xi would use force would be if the US threatens them directly. Taiwan knows it’s basically on it’s own. ....and frankly should be as I see it..... The issue of Taiwan belongs between Taiwan and China. ....Though I understand the US wants to keep Taiwan as a checkmate footprint on China’s border and regarding control of the sea trade.

The disaster is weakness. Weakness from Biden and his handlers. Weakness from those opposing Biden. Xi and Putin see a divided west and are on the move. Reagan taught us peace is achieved through strength. We must never forget that.

..., but many of the younger people in Taiwan don’t hate the Motherland as their elders do?

In your assumption younger Taiwanese clueless, they love their so-called motherland of their ancestors? I asked a Taiwanese software engineer who worked for TSMC now working in U.S. who said elders to younger to youths even to grade school children know they will be slaughtered by the communist red Chinese if ever PRC conquer Taiwan. So most people in Taiwan have bunker mentality. Taiwan is armed to the teeth. They're prepared to die fighting if worse comes to worst.
