Hunter?
biden will whip xi popcorn
Let the Motherland take Formosa. We have no business in these affairs.
They got the guy they paid for installed as head of their only competition. If I were Chinese I’d be thinking we were pretty damn clever and Americans are corrupt and STUPID.
They’re all in one place.
Nuke’em now.
The democrats always start wars and blame the republicans for them later.
Sorry Taiwan but we’re running out of weapons to support you.
Hmmmm, what will Jiao Biden do ???
You forgot the and signs. Seriously, China has an incredible financial problem that is extremely widespread. First, there is a housing financial crisis that is destroying many middle and upper class families. Second, the Covid shutdowns have destroyed the jobs of countless workers. Many workers from rural farming areas went to the big cities to get jobs, they got jobs and then the factories were closed for Covid and they had no money for housing or food. The concept of the tail wagging the dog, comes to mind. 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. The Chinese military has no qualms about killing civilians. They have no qualms with kidnapping people to try them in mainland China. What Taiwan has going for it is that is where much of the wealth in China is concentrated. It is also where many of the people who own the factories responsible for China’s economic miracle growth live. Taiwan is also armed to the teeth and its rich factory owners have friends in governments all over the world. I honestly think that China would have invaded Taiwan already to distract its population from the financial problems. I suspect that with Russia being on the world’s Sh#t-list and the economic sanctions being imposed, that China is having second thoughts that an invasion would (1) make things worse economically with sanctions and (2) Russia and its nuclear weapons would not back up their much fewer nuclear threat to destroy the west if they interfere in the invasion of Taiwan.
Xi is much like Putin and the mullahs in Iran. He sees his ally with a communist army being thrashed, so he’s blowing smoke and beating his chest.
Starting to resemble 1941 more and more every day.
China/Taiwan is a tough problem. The U.S views Taiwan as part of China. You have the spectacle now of the U.S taking the stance that Donetsk,Luhansk and Crimea are part of Ukraine and Ukraine is right to take back the territory militarily that it sees as renegade, but China which views Taiwan as renegade may not take back Taiwan military without U.S opposition. Of course there are the arguments Ukraine is not run by commies and China is, but still it seems inconsistent to me. If Taiwan declared independence it would look even more inconsistent if the U.S intervened, given that it signed an agreement with the PRC recognising Taiwan as part of China. Don’t get me wrong, I loathe the CCP the way some loathe Putin on FR
The saber rattling is ramped up due to the power struggle. After this party congress it will subside.
Why fight? We need China for its high tech manufacturing and medical supplies. And China needs our fast food chains and Hollywood tranny films.
As usual Daily Mail exaggerates what XI said......and this is why Media is one of the top security dangers to the world.
Let them invade Taiwan,,,,,,and invoke the Wrath of Khan
Khan is feared around the world! ( sarc.)
Little gurls tremble at his touch!
America is about to lose its strategic advantage in the Western Pacific.We have no strategic oil reserve, aned Biden has sent half of our ordnance to Ukraine without replacing it. Joe Biden is abou to leave our allies Australia, South Korea Japan and others in the lurch.VERY BAD! Joe Biden needs to be tarred, feathered and run out on a rail.
Xi may be trying to trick the American people into “rallying around” Xiden on the “national security issue” of Taiwan and voting Democrat in the midterms.
What do they mean “retake”? They never had it. They will lose at least 2 million soldiers trying to take it.
Nobody f@#$s with a Biden (except Putin, the Saudis, the Taliban, Tom Shilu, a bicycle...)
Xi is just blustering to save face. Xi saw what is happening to Putin, and even Biden can deter him from invading Taiwan.
