The taiwan compradores are gonna lead the people from taiwan astray. Literally the same shit that went in Ukraine, they get armed to the teeth so they actually become a security threat to China and they're forced to demilitarize them. These people are beyond stupid.

It blows my mind that people in Taiwan are looking at what's happening in Ukraine and continue thinking that throwing their lot with US is a good idea.

I am sure the people of taiwan are largely opposed to these stupid policies but they're powerless to do anything, lets remember that the fascists purged anyone that was remotely leftist.

Hosting american troops in your country means you're not the authority in your country, it is as simple as that.

Good point, having a "democracy" where you have first past the post and control the coalition of parties that each get like 20% of the vote is a good way to keep driving Taiwan off the cliff.

To be fair the DPP lost the popular vote in the last presidential election I think in part because Taiwanese people saw how the US manipulated Ukraine. They just kept control of the presidency because the KMT and the TPP failed at negotiating a joint ticket.

Ukraine was a shit show for the west and the CPC is even more prepared and practiced for the scenario of having to take Taiwan by force. Idk what it will take to bring China to engage in active warfare but when they do the US is going to find out how under equipped and unprepared they are to it.

Yeah, it's an absolutely insane idea, not to mention that US economy would collapse overnight.

China has had a few years to be prepared for such things and has an idea of what can happen based on Ukraine so they do have a few different approaches, like seting a red line and nuking the US immediately after it's crossed or what I think is more likely, do nothing in regards to this intrusion other than station boats between the yankees and China while increasing decolonization efforts and sending weapons to Yemen and Russia, supporting a possible takeover of Ukraine while trying to push the more trobolesome elements of Ukraine to flee to the EU so they start causing trouble there.

Taking the opportunity of the colonialists probably not accepting the UNSC cease fire proposal to sanction them and key western industries related to them with the BRICS and Global South, increasing the cost of genocide to the whole west could also be a good move. And although I don't expect China going against the west in a more direct way diplomatically this could be the time for them to get maximum return on whatever they do, specially if they are already going to be blamed for it one way or another.

It looks like China's been quietly decoupling from the west and reorienting trade towards the Global South. So, I imagine China will be in a much stronger position to apply pressure on the west than the other way around. The decoupling on this end has been largely rhetorical.
