Take all china's assets away from them keep everything the own in the us
China's strength is on the rising,but
US is declining! In ten years, China will be stronger than US!
America doesn’t care if they lose reputation or not. Power is everything. As long as America stays the strongest, everyone needs to bow. Everyone is just the prawn.
PARENT TAKES SON ON FOREIGN TRIP. SO NANCY AND PAUL JR ARE FOLLOWING THE BIDEN, JOE AND HUNTER PAY FOR PLAYBOOK. UGH SUCH CORRUPTION.
reunion…….
China is an elephant, Taiwan just an ant.
Taiwan🇹🇼
Taiwan needs to have nukes in their submarines for self-defense from China's invasion once Taiwan becomes independence. China desperately wants to control Taiwan like HK under communist rule that the free countries of US allies have to fight back.
One question: Do you really think that US will go to the war with China even with the risk hundreds thouands solder's death and USA going down from the NO.1 of the world?
East China*
This did not mention that caiyingwen is now part of the KMT
This is wrong. Taiwan is a democratic system. It is the people of Taiwan who push Tsai Ing-wen, not Tsai Ing-wen who pushes the people. This is public opinion. Unlike China, the emperor controls the people.
We (Americans) cannot allow china to take Taiwan by force for any reason
Taiwan should do what Ukraine did to Russia. Get long range himer rocket systems and drones.
The world relays on Ukraine for food. On Taiwan for computer chips. Chips are more important than food.
As a result… China has able to US become punch addicted in Wing Chun chain punch style. NATO won't help you, Yankee!
1979, 1993, 2000 AMERICA agreed and signed the three communiqués called The One China Policy. The relationship between the two countries is founded on those three communiqués. They still do many medicines, medical devices, consumer goods….Does Biden have a plan to secure American's medicines, health, devices etc? I haven't heard it. Taiwan means nothing to me.
The US will boost their economy…
The west and allies will follow….
Taiwan will be an economic power house and military will be backed by the west and allies.
I like how she leaves out that the entire reason why the civil war happened was because the nationalists were a weakly fascist dictatorship and after they fled to Taiwan, basically enslaved the native population. Revising history is not the way to go yall.
This video largely misses the point. Taiwan is an island fortress, so an invasion has to be stopped at the sea. The Neptune strike on the Moskva was a much bigger lesson for both Taiwan and China. Any war there will be fought with a very large amount of missiles, both anti-ship and land strike missiles.
And war would not involve a limited number of soldiers, like what Russia is trying to do. China will call for general mobilization.
1) In 1894, Japan invaded China and Korea, the Qing gov was defeated and signed the [Treaty of Shimonoseki] to cede Taiwan Island to Japan.
2) During the WW2, at the Cairo Conference held in 1943, China asked the transfer of Taiwan's sovereignty back to China after the war. This content was included in the [Cairo Declaration] and later reiterated in the [Potsdam Proclamation] that it should be implemented.
3) On 14 Aug 1945, the Emperor Showa of Japan issued the [End War Edict] , Japan surrendered unconditionally and accepted the [Potsdam Proclamation]. The Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, Marshal MacArthur ordered the Japanese troops in Taiwan to surrender to KMT General Chiang Kai Shek. Taiwan re-entered the territory of the Republic Of China (ROC).
4) Soon after that China civil war broke out between KMT and CPC, the KMT was defeated and fled to Taiwan. However, due to US intervention, the CPC without a strong navy at that time has no ability to unify Taiwan. The CPC then established the People's Republic of China (PRC) on 1949. The civil war continues…
5) In 1971, UN Resolution No. 2758 ruled that the PRC had obtained the representation rights and all legal rights originally owned by the ROC in the UN. That means the PRC is China’s only legal gov under international law, and today the PRC also become China’s only legal gov recognized by 180 countries around the world, including the USA.
"The USA recognizes the Government of the PRC as the sole legal Government of China. Within this context, the people of the USA will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan."
Joint Cummunique on the Establishment of Diplomatic relations between the PRC and the USA (December 16 1978)
6) Therefore, according to international law, international reality, and the wishes of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, Taiwan should return to PRC and the PRC have every rights to protect it's sovereign integrity.
America is too weak
China's performance is too strong
Now in Taiwan, the ratio of young people supporting the Chinese political party {China Kuomintang} to the American political party {Democratic Progressive Party} is 8:2
China's overwhelming advantage
In the future, Taiwan's deep-sea military port, the world's strongest semiconductor chips will be owned by China
In the South China Sea transportation area, which accounts for one-third of the world's economy, China will achieve an overwhelming victory in geo-military
Asian countries will gradually start not to accept the US dollar and use the renminbi
TV stations in Asia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other countries have discussed the topic
This is for sure in the future
