Chinese State Run Media says China Ready to use Force Against US.


It is the policy of the United States -
  • (1) to preserve and promote extensive, close, and friendly commercial, cultural, and other relations between the people of the United States and the people on Taiwan, as well as the people on the China mainland and all other peoples of the Western Pacific area;
  • (2) to declare that peace and stability in the area are in the political, security, and economic interests of the United States, and are matters of international concern;
  • (3) to make clear that the United States decision to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China rests upon the expectation that the future of Taiwan will be determined by peaceful means;
  • (4) to consider any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or embargoes, a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States;
  • (5) to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character; and
  • (6) to maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan.
 
Why? What indications, anywhere, make you bleev they have designs on anything other than Chinese sphere of influence?



History for one. Whenever a Marcher State is allowed to get started, it dorsn't stop.

You should read some someday. Especially as regards china.
 

This thread relates to US interference, or allegations of interference in Taiwan and so isn't being discussed elsewhere.
I interpret as a strong statement from China that was predictable.
Both America and China will likely have an opportunity to demonstrate their resolve.

I would only suggest that the decisions are most likely above Biden's ability and his pay grade, so to speak.

Both sides have reached the pinnacle of Cold War rhetoric that is equal to that of the previous Cold War.

Democrat weakness and failure... way to go you libtard morons...
 
Military conflict with China could and likely would fuck the entire world up. If preventing that means abandoning Taiwan then so be it.
Is Taiwan worth it? There are two sides to the story.

1. America letting go would be a huge loss to it's image of hard resolve that would be as damagine as walking away from the Vietnam war.
2. Taiwan is well within China's sphere of influence and the US walkig away could be easily rationalized.

In time it's quite likely that S.K. will pose the same question for America. In return America may harden it's resolve in Central and South America.
 

1. The United States would not set a date for termination of arms sales to Taiwan.

2. The United States would not alter the terms of the Taiwan Relations Act.

3. The United States would not consult with China in advance before making decisions about U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

4. The United States would not mediate between Taiwan and China.

5. The United States would not alter its position about the sovereignty of Taiwan which was, that the question was one to be decided peacefully by the Chinese themselves, and would not pressure Taiwan to enter into negotiations with China.

6. The United States would not formally recognize Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan.
No where in there does it state we need to go to war, invest blood or treasure to insure that Taiwan remain free of Chinese rule.
 
I see China's next move as appealing to the people of Taiwan on unification. Digging a bit below the surface should tell one that that isn't a settled question.

China has tried that for 50 years, and during the 90's it worked.

After the attack by the CCP on Hong Kong, the support for China in Taiwan is at historic lows.

Some parallel to the question in the Crimea is perhaps likely.

In any case, the rest of the world's opinion will be the most important deciding factor on which side is on the side of right.

Nonsense, the chatter among the Euroweenies is utterly irrelevant.

Unless Quid Pro surrenders outright, which he might, China would face the USA, South Korea, and Japan if they moved on Taiwan.

In 1977 Jimmy Carter told of the VAST military superiority of the USSR and tried to get America to surrender to the Soviets. He failed, though he did give them deep water ports and a beach head on the North American Continent in Nicaragua.

The pro-Soviet propaganda Carter used were satellite pictures of Soviet tanks in East Germany. Carter and the democrats demanded that the USA could in no way match such a force and we had no choice but to cave to all Soviet demands or face utter destruction.

We now know that the "tanks" were crude tin foil props constructed as a terracotta army.


China is much the same. The entire Chinese military is based on technology stolen from America. This means we know all the weaknesses. And like the soviets, the Chinese inflate the number of weapons platforms by a factor of dozens.

That could invite an objective analysis here, as opposed to nearly everybody trying to fight an armchair war.

Objectively, China is a paper tiger. They can't even hold their own against India.
 
And the Taiwanese people will look at the conduct of China's government in Hong Kong, and say "go screw yourselves". The leaders of the PRC threw away any pretense of being a civilized, law abiding government when they threw out the agreement on Homg Kong's special treatment.
You've avoided the question on the loyalty of the people of Taiwan. It's at issue but it requires some careful analysis, without any built in bias.
 
No where in there does it state we need to go to war, invest blood or treasure to insure that Taiwan remain free of Chinese rule.
It sure as hell implies it. I don't want War anymore than you do but we can't allow them to do this. Because they will just be emboldened to do more. The Taiwan Strait is a KEY Seaway for the region that must be maintained. Allowing China to take Taiwan would be a threat to that Sea Lane and the Phillipines which we have a Pact with if they are attacked.

It's not just us on this. It's Taiwan, Phillipines, Vietnam, South Korea, and Japan. All are ticked at China.

Best thing we could do now would to get all those together and sign a pact against China such as NATO in Europe.
 
Fair enough.

But? You are ignoring how they got the tech to do that in the first place. Sometimes I really wonder about your critical thinking. I honestly do.

:rolleyes:

Clinton Approves Technology Transfer to China

Insults aside, I in no way defended the treason by Clinton or Biden (or McConnell) that has led to China stealing American tech.
 
China has tried that for 50 years, and during the 90's it worked.

After the attack by the CCP on Hong Kong, the support for China in Taiwan is at historic lows.

You're trying to fight an armchair war and I'm not interested.
But one point of interest is your comment on H.K. It's entirely unrealistic to expect China to entertain any attempts of H.K. separating from China.
Anyone who is aware of the history of how H.K. became a British colony would understand that!

Why China has demonstrated any goodwill at all is a mind boggling question! It won't continue for much longer as the political climate deteriorates!
