German warships set to sail through Taiwan Strait

Most of the world does not view them as a renegade province, they do not view themselves as a renegade province.

Actually, most of the world recognizes Beijing as the government of China, including the US.

The Taiwan Straight does not belong to communist china

You mean the straight that connects the South CHINA sea to the East CHINA Sea. Naw, can't see why China thinks they own that at all.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

China is not going to start a war

I'm not convinced of that.

You are misinformed

China has 12 miles off its coast

Taiwan is entitled to claim 12 miles also

The rest of the Straight is an international waterway

Yep, we just do not recognizes Beijing as the government of Taiwan, and neither does Taiwan.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I'm not convinced of that.

I am. Would be the dumbest thing they could do. They rely on customers all around the world to keep their economy moving.

A war would ruin that.

International trade is a great hedge against war.

Yet there are conflicting claims further out than 12 miles.

So why antagonize China unnecessarily.

Yep, we just do not recognizes Beijing as the government of Taiwan, and neither does Taiwan.

Actually, we do recognize Taiwan as part of China.

Because they are claiming way more than they are entitled too in the area.

 

[JoeB131]

Because they are claiming way more than they are entitled too in the area.

National sovereignty is an unreasonable claim?

Maybe you need to read up on "The Century of Humiliation" and then you might understand the reason China acts the way it does.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

National sovereignty does not extend 200nm into the ocean.

Maybe you need to read up on "The Century of Humiliation" and then you might understand the reason China acts the way it does.

China is free to act as they are acting, and other countries are free to push back at it.

If Japan declared all the ocean between mainland and Okinawa as their waters that no ship was allowed to pass though, do you think the whole world should just go "ok".

Its an international waterway

China’s “claims” are meaningless

Okay.

So if they sank the German ships, what would Germany do about it?

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Because they are claiming way more than they are entitled too in the area.

This little chat here is bringing a smile to my face, the predictable Chinese bogeyman again!

We can also think about the number of countries and people in Indochina that the US has invaded, attacked, bombed, dumped chemical weapons and so on since the end of WW2.

If China had done to central America and Mexico what the US did in Indochina, how would we we think about being surrounded by Chinese military installations...

Okay.

Iy would invoke NATO

 

[JoeB131]

Iy would invoke NATO

Um, okay, so they would insist on OTHER COUNTRIES solving their problem.

See the problem with that?

China is not going to attack german ships using it

But if they did it would be bad for the chicoms
