All they have to do is close off the seas. I doubt they’ll do that as china benefits from freedom of the seas, but doing this will cause huge economic issue.
It’s probably why the so called drill ended in a few hours.
How, in God’s name do you figure they close the seas to the second and third largest countries in the world?
Perhaps try not watching CCTV.
It really depends who becomes President does it? If it’s Trump, they will do nothing, isolationism and all that.
Anyways it’s always money that shipping companies care about. If war risk insurance is too high, ships will not enter the area regardless of what happens in reality.
Also sanction against China, etc. will likely cause a global financial issue. Inflation in the US will also skyrocket.
Either way, an invasion might just lead to nuclear war, or the next worst thing.
You don’t know that.
Recently while on vacation in Europe I had short conversation with a guy starting conversation with me. He asked me where I was from. I said Taiwan. He said he worked “on the hill” in Washington DC…giving me the impression something to do with Congress. Well, this guy starts talking about Taiwan and Russia saying looks like Taiwan is going to be like Russia. China wants to invade Taiwan like Ukraine invaded Taiwan. “Poor Russia” he said…“having to fight off Ukraine”. Well, I guess Taiwan will be asking America for help to fight off China…which he said in a very condescending tone.
I just want to say don’t understand the Trump effect on Congress. Trump is pushing to not support other countries. Yes, he will throw tariff threats around but that is not enough to “save” Taiwan.
He’s talking about making Taiwan pay protection… and what if Taiwan won’t pay?
There is no way that Trump will put a price on defending Taiwan and say that US soldiers will stand in harms way (in other words…die) to defend Taiwan for money.
Short term/sighted. Marco was pointing out a more normal trend amongst homeowners. Usually it’s more the speculators, construction companies and corrupt governmentofficials tallying short short term trends 
though it’s kind of irrelevant using China as an example of housing prices in terms of the common Joe and normalcy…
Trump is an emotional fool. What he says is bonkers outside the sales/marketing world 
. Time to understand this, even if his team has had a couple decent ideas. Every moron has one or 2…
Or that Trump or Harris are just figureheads, and are not in control of the US. Meaning democracy is basically a facade and the US will do whatever they want to do. If it’s to make Taiwan pay protection, they’ll do it but word it differently (not surprised if this is already what happens).
