Do you think America will come to Taiwan’s aid if China attacks? Should it?

If it was ww2 he’d be blaming Churchill for the damage caused to London during the blitz.

North Laos is like little China after all the RMB poured in.

This is what the sentence should say. Taiwan stole nothing.

Meanwhile, in reality…what is really going on? Trumpntalks wild shit and plays an asshole very well. It distracts people from more important shit. How people even care he talks about Canada becoming a state just proves how easily the masses are manipulated. We should be asking what he is hiding behind truly retarded publicity stunts like that.

China, on the other hand, plays a long game and when they say they plan to take Taiwan eventually, the world should take notice.

What is going on can be summarized simply as “Containment”.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), officially the Communist Party of China (CPC)

I usually use the official name, though sometimes I will use the (incorrect) initials ‘CCP’ to indulge people who don’t know much about the subject.

Neither is incorrect. However, use of CPC suggests support for the party.

The CCP, uniquely, only changed the official English translation of its name. In Chinese, it is the same today as it was in 1921: 中国共产党 (literally, “China Communist Party”).

So in other words, it’s woke white people making a fuss over an issue that Chinese themselves have no problem with. “Chinese is a slur!” was one of the stupidest woke memes to come out Year Covid.

I do think Taiwan should increase defense spendings. If there’s enough tax money to give back to everyone, there’s enough to increase defense spending

Not everyone.

Only the legislature could make that decision and right now the GMD and TMD alliance held legislature cut most of the military budget, including money required to complete the self-developed submarine.

I don’t get the reasoning. Having submarines would be a useful deterrent for any amphibious assault.

I think 10% is quite a lot. Not everything can be solved by throwing money at it. But I would think 4-5% is reasonable considering the threat.

It’s super easy to understand the GMD and the TMD’s reasoning. They are following the wishes of the CCP.

Trump on relocating chips manufacturing to the US: “It will at least give us a position where we have in this very very important business, we would have a very big part of it in the US if something should happen with Taiwan.”

Read that again.

Except (along with Donald’s “kung-flu”) it was intended to be a racist slur to stir up hatred against Chinese-looking people.
Some people self-identify as “woke”, some people self-identify as “racist asshole”.

Some people are both!

Chinese KMT and the like being China’s shills make this totally logical. They have sabotaged taiwans security for many many years…

This guy realises the grave threat, why hasn’t the DPP realised it yet instead of frittering away chip advantage for nothing in return.

I think they know. But they’re stuck between a ROC and a hard place.
