No wei! Wasn't me!I can't believe no one has called out this WOB!
Like I said…you’re reading skills need improvement. Never said Taiwan didn’t want the visit.
And I said you clearly implied that they had no choice. That's bullshit.Like I said…you’re reading skills need improvement. Never said Taiwan didn’t want the visit.
Yup. These military exercises aren't going to be the end of this, either. We won't see the results for another month or two.Taiwan is probably screwed in the long run. China just has too much pull economically....
Companies in China distance themselves from Taiwan amid Pelosi backlash
From a Chinese soy sauce maker to an Asia-focused asset manager, companies in China are rushing to distance themselves from geopolitical tensions over Taiwan following last week's visit to the island by a high-profile U.S. official.www.reuters.com
Would you send container ships or passenger aircraft to Taiwan right now?some news articles on google news are claiming (with no details however) that china is blockading taiwan. is this true or just innacurate wording?
both. if they are interfered with, there will be steps to take.Would you send container ships or passenger aircraft to Taiwan right now?
They aren't directly interfering. They don't have to. They are lobbing missiles all around. There's nothing anyone can do, or will do, about that.both. if they are interfered with, there will be steps to take.
Maybe a blockade is China's plan to provoke a direct conflict (or just show strength in reponse to Pelosi's visit).some news articles on google news are claiming (with no details however) that china is blockading taiwan. is this true or just innacurate wording?
I can understand China not wanting Taiwan being a staging ground for another country as has happened to them in their history with Japan using the island as an "unsinkable battleship", but this guy contradicts himself. On one hand he says that countries have used it as a staging ground to attack China then the next thing he says is this is a war the USA cannot win. So which is it? Seems we could invade and defeat China by using it as a staging ground just like Japan did almost 100 years ago. Which is exactly why China is so concerned that no country be able to use Taiwan as a base of invasion.

I mean, we got kinda pissed about the Soviets putting missiles in Cuba giving them first strike capability, and rightfully so.
