Speaking to Sky News yesterday Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu explained Taiwan has been forced to invest massively in its military as the threat of a Chinese invasion grows. The foreign minister said Taiwan was putting "more investment in our military" after issuing a grave warning that China "seems to be preparing for their final military assault against Taiwan". But despite the concerns he stressed that the people of Taiwan are "determined to defend ourselves" in the face of growing Chinese aggression.
Mr Wu said: "They (China) have been conducting disinformation campaigns, hybrid warfare and recently they have increased their greyzone activities against Taiwan."
And in a sobering statement, the Foreign Minister said: "All this seems to be preparing for their final military assault against Taiwan."
But he stressed how the defense of Taiwan "is our own responsibility" adding "we take our own defense very seriously" and vowed how the country is "determined to defend ourselves."
He added: "We are trying to make more investment in our military, especially the asymmetric type of warfare to deter the Chinese from thinking about using military force against Taiwan."

So, I should sell my TSMC stock?...
Is this why we have a chip shortage?
The Butchers of Beijing know that they have *nothing* to fear from Feels Up *or* Heels Up. Freedom loving people in Taiwan would be wise to get out now while they still can.
Taiwan forced to beef up its military as China preparing for ‘final military assault’
—
That few million dollar “investment” to Hunter “Bagman” Biden is about to pay dividends. When China invades and defeats Taiwan, the US will do nothing. In fact, expect the MSM to justify it by calling Taiwan a “renegade” province or better yet , the MSM will call them “insurrectionists” who the CCP put down, and rightly so.
I for one think it’s gonna be awesome. Chicoms got their butts kicked the taking on the Vietnamese in ‘79. Officially it was a ‘standstill. Taiwan is advanced. Are the PRC military really into it? Could be as this is a way to stir up nationalism. Where do we fit in? Not good with this WH.
China knows a window of opportunity when they see it. They won’t let this one pass.
Taiwan has likely assessed the weakness of the administration and realizes by now they are standing alone.
Trump had our position in the world in a pretty good place. Too bad that’s all been undone. We will be living in “interesting times”.
Xi Jinping is wasting no time nor the opportunity. Striking while the fire is hot, and attention is diverted elsewhere.
Chinese Communist Party prepares the “final solution” to the two-Chinas policy. Ethnic Chinese everywhere in the world take note, where a Chinese foot has trod, becomes Chinese territory forever.
China knows that Taiwan will get no help from us.
I wonder how much the Chinese really want Taiwan, are they prepared to absorb potentially thousands of casualties ??
Those who think if you are a Citizen of Taiwan you need to leave before China invades, would you say the same thing if some foreign power invaded your homeland ??
I think the people of Taiwan will stand firm and fight, it’s their country and they stand to lose everything and if you are looking into the abyss you need to stand and fight to the end.....
Taiwan may not win but they can make it incredibly difficult for China...
To take the island, the Chinese will need to launch a seaborn invasion proceeded by an air assault....
If their air force is not that superior, if a few dozen planes get shot down will that shake their resolve ??
How about the first landing craft that hit the beach end up being Omaha Beach on steroids....
The news of the Chinese casualties will spread throughout the Chinese population, what will their reaction be, if thousands of families lose their sons.....
I suspect the Chinese population would be upset to some degree...
I think the unknowns of a Chinese invasion should make their leaders think twice...
I really like the fellow freezers idea: as soon as China makes a move, send the missiles for the Three Gorges Dam. Make them pay.
“Freepers...
It’s always cheaper to pay off a whore, than to build up military more.
The Commies should also plan on losing the big dam.
Taiwan has nothing to lose if the CCP launches a full blown attempt.
The ChiComs are going to have a real fight on their hands if they try to invade Taiwan. Taiwan will not be alone. Japan and Vietnam and maybe even the Philippines would be wise to assist Taiwan. China has it’s eyes on all of them.
PI won’t be able to do much. They’ll be quite busy in the homeland with the CPP operatives they’ve allowed in..
All they have to do is collapse our electrical grid and we’ll fall like a house of cards. Then they will have free rein.
i worry that our achilles heel is tsmc
