Why would China go to war with itself?

[SmokingJoe]

Do we want a war with China?
Of course not.
Total war with China will destroy both countries and kill hundreds of millions. Nobody wants that.
We never even actually fought a war with the Soviet Union even at their worst. We only fought proxy wars, against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, Angola, Somalia etc. Why would we want to fight a war with China?

[mountainlion]

If we sell out Taiwan we might as well sell out the USA to china as they already own significant property and legislatures in the USA.

Why would we want to fight a war with China?

War will come to us. China will take Taiwan , ROK, Japan , PI, and Australasia over he next 50 years. By war and other means...

[RoosterRedux]

That's right.

China has bought an significant position in the U.S. ruling elite.

War?

Only if the ruling elite go back on their deal or, perhaps, if some segment of the U.S. (like the Deplorables) declares war on the ruling elite.

[central_va]

War would end all trade and economic ties with the CCP which would be A GOOD THING....

[allendale]

Actually very much doubt that China would ever mount an actual invasion of Taiwan. They will of course continually try to intimidate Taiwan and try to get a pro reunification party elected in Taiwan. But as long as they discern that the people on Taiwan are willing to fight for their freedom, an invasion would be too costly and detrimental to the Chinese. China is misjudged in the West as an economic and military juggernaut. The reality is that their economy is hampered by food, electricity, and capital shortages. There is political and social unrest not always seen or as evident as what is happening in Hong Kong. Their military is saddled with top heavy, politically accomadating incompetent senior officers, outmoded equipment, untested equipment and ordinary soldiers who don’t want to die.

Coexistence or Cold War with China?

To coexist with evil is evil in itself.

[Paine in the Neck]

We are now basically a province of the Chinese empire. Our government has been hollowed out to its skin and filled with bought and paid for American politicians managed by Chinese infiltrators. What now happens in Washington is what Beijing wants to happen.

Thank you for posting the above reality!

"Biden is wholly owned by the CCP. They will be allowed to do whatever the hell they want to do."

They own and control Joe and Hoe!

The good news is they need us as a prime customer, trainer of new engineers, a pipeline for new technology, as a trading partner and as an ally.

If we are not a military threat to them and can help fund their aggression around the world, they will just control us not bomb us.

The bad news is they will control more of our lives during and post Biden and Hoe.

[RoosterRedux]

BTW, Antony Blinken is blowing smoke...providing cover for the Chinese funding of the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement that Joe Biden established in 2018 with the University of Pennsylvania, where Blinken was Managing Director.

Carter never met a communist he didn’t like.

[SmokingJoe]

War will come to us. China will take Taiwan , ROK, Japan , PI, and Australasia over he next 50 years.

And what will China do with all these colonies of very hostile countries?
They had a hard enough time controlling Tibet, and those guys didn't even really fight that much.
Outside of Tibet, how many countries has China actually invaded? Last time they had some border skirmishes with the Soviet Union, Vietnam and India, they got badly bloodied.

[Little Ray]

Don’t be silly.
Submission.
The PRC paid good money for Biden and they intend to make the most out of him.

[SmokingJoe]

War would end all trade and economic ties with the CCP which would be A GOOD THING....

At the cost of how many millions dead?
Say, how many wars have ever ended trade?
We still trade with Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc don't we?

[BenLurkin]

"They're not bad folks" says the fraud regarding Red China.

[PIF]

When Chinese Communists in 1950 conquered Tibet and began its ethnic and cultural cleansing of the region, what did we do?

Basically, nothing.

When China occupied and fortified rocks and reefs across the South China Sea what did we do?

Basically, nothing.

When China crushed the Hong Kong democracy protests we encouraged, and imposed a new national security law on the island’s 7 million people, what did we do?

Basically, nothing.

When China subverted the 2020 Presidential election and installed its puppets, what did we do?

Basically, nothing.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

We are now basically a province of the Chinese empire.

This conclusion came to me on January 20. There was a war and China won. Bio weapon. Medical establishment influence. Political buyouts. Business alliances. Media control. Chinese economic subversion of universities. Controlling influence of sports (at least NBA). Etc.

Our hope is in the God that much of the nation has trashed.

China has long term strategic plans for world domination through economic expansion and control of precious resources like rare earth minerals. They’re seizing control via contract. China marches all in one direction with their entire national might.

Cold war? We’re ill prepared for it. They’ll do things we aren’t prepared to do. The best thing we can do for ourselves is to become self-sufficient. Kill the debt, bring back manufacturing, secure or replace any resources we don’t directly control, and weather the coming storm. The rest of the world is in for a rough ride as China works to dominate.
