IF Xi decides to take Taiwan by force there will be pain on all sides but the most pain will be suffered by China.
We will take a hit for doing it, but we must pledge to cease all trade with China, expel all Chinese CCP kids at our universities, seize all Chinese investments in America, AND forfeit all T-bills they purchased (I believe its around 800 billion).
We must demand the same from Europe, Australia, Korea, and Japan.
It will be expensive but pledge no interest loans for American companies to move production here to the US, strengthen our trade ties within our own hemisphere and with friendly Asian nations, and pledge to leave both NATO and the UN along with removing all funding for both if our wishes are not honored.
Yeah, it sucks. However, it guarantees a rapid collapse of the CCP within China AND it is cheaper than a full blown war with China.
We can also destroy their trade corridors and the pipelines that will be taking oil and gas into China.
Win. The CCP has a LOT of problems right now and the shock to their economy will cause it to implode. It is probably going to implode before ours anyways. They can’t even feed themselves without “trade”.
I am sick and tired of China and it is ridiculous that we continue to do any business with them at all. There will be economic disruption with a “war” no matter what so what are we waiting for and why do we keep funding the CCP?
I have nothing against the Chinese people whatsoever, but I have no use for the CCP. The Chinese people are not very happy with them either.
Put this pledge in writing and let the oligarchs within the CCP take care of Xi. He is a madman if he does this and everyone is afraid to call his bluff. Japan and Australia will be with us, India, Vietnam, and South Korea will likely join us too.
I personally think we could tip them over right now if we would speed up the decoupling. It will be painful economically in the short-term, but it would benefit us greatly in the future.
Taiwan is NOT a threat to the Chinese people and never has been. It is a threat to the CCP because its citizens enjoy freedom and prosperity without having to pay tribute to mobsters with red stars.
No it does not. This is becoming a multi-polar world, and Brazil. Russia, India, China, Africa, all of Asia save Japan, will be one bloc against us one day later.
