[quote=“bigduke6”]It will not be Hong Kong style at all. The Chinese have stated Taiwan can keep its military, with no Chinese garrison, run domestic affairs themselves as well as many other aspects.
The Chinese are concerned with mainly foreign affairs.[/quote]
Yes, true enough. But there’s always the fine print, eh wot?

I think they’ve hinted at such things. It’s not officially part of Chinese policy that by default they’re only concerned about foreign relations.
In any event, what do “foreign relations” cover? Does it relate to trade? Because trade’s pretty important if you want to stop China from meddling in your affairs. And we know that China has fucked Taiwan over health issues by blocking information being handed over by the WHO.
sure they aren’t 
“There have been 53 major wars in Europe. France had been a belligerent in 49 of them.In 185 battles that France had fought over the past 800 years, their armies had won 132 times, lost 43 times and drawn only 10, giving the French military the BEST RECORD of any country in world.” - BBC History
Now the Pentagon says that the F35 is better suited for Taiwan … only on problem … it’s not available for export … :roflmao:
and therefore solves the diplomatic problems all around 
The USA will consider to provide F35 (but doesnt actually)
Peking will retain the right to get mad (but wont because there will be no F35)
Taiwan can remain placated that the F35 are "possibly " coming (yes flying alongside pigs when pigs can fly )
That my friends is how diplomacy works .
Brilliant
This is vastly incorrect and oversimplified. An island’s main advantage is that any invading force must cross over by air and/or by sea. This makes islands tremendously difficult to invade, because as long as the defenders can shoot down or sink a sufficient number of enemy aircraft or ships, the invasion is rendered untenable.
As for nuclear weapons, if China were to use them against Taiwan, it would vastly reduce Taiwan’s economic value to the mainland, which would be contrary to the PRC’s interests. The PRC wants a valuable Taiwan for unification, not a smoldering rubble heap.
