when are we gonna see china invading taiwan?
seeing slavs get droned and the occassional middle east bombing gotten stale.
>>
>>65506630
Experts are saying it should happen in about two more weeks
>>
>>65506630
I live there so hopefully never
>>
>>65506630
Probably never.
>>
>>65506630
I don't think they're ever going to actually invade it unless a serious lapse in judgement occurs or the US literally collapses or something.
They're just going to have the *capacity* to threaten Taiwan with force and continue demonstrating said capacity while trying to do bug glowie shit on the island, successfully or not.

Chinksects are cucked and doomed by their demographics, they're not doing anything, certainly not when king retard is in power.

Xi Jinping might be evil but that doesn't mean he's retarded, never underestimate your enemies.

>>65506925
Being a high functioning authoritarian state who is number one in all sorts of production technologies is probably an advantage in the AI age.

China has serious issues but they aren't any more extreme than those of the West, just different.
>>
>>65506630
If anything China is going to retake Manchuria.
>>
Do they even need to? They can research cutting edge chips on their own.
>>
I think in the end Taiwan will go into the fold of CCP influence peacefully with probably some special arrangement where they can have fag parades and all the other hallmarks of westernization. US alignment offers less and less.
>>65507035
I'd say they are somewhat better positioned to deal with their issues than we are. When is the last time congress did anything actually notable or historic? And we are indeed in interesting times and our retard government seems asleep at the wheel for more or less the entire 21st century so far. Meanwhile winnie the pooh can snap his fingers and change whatever the fuck he wants on a dime.
>>
>>65507227
>special arrangement
Like Hong Kong?
>>
>>65507242
I guess. But I understand some in Hong Kong haven't been too keen on how that actually works out. Taiwan probably will do similarly. It will likely be very uncomfortable for a generation or so. Some ties between the two were resumed just this year, for what that is worth.
A US-China war would be pretty badass, don't get me wrong, I just don't know if we are the kind of country that can do that sort of thing any more, and I think states around the world pick up on that.
>>
1. Russia false flags a nato country
2. War escalates and nato attacks some russian targets
3. Now Putin has a reason to mobilize more troops
4. Trump declares victory over Iran and attacks Greenland now that the Euros are busy
5. China attacks Taiwan because the US is busy
6. Brazil attacks Brazil cuz highest crime rate and all.
7. Russia launches nukes but ends up completely nuking itself somehow
8. Pajeet spammers declare total russian victory on their many many youtube "news" channels.
>>
>>65506630
If they are going to invade my money is on within the next year.
That said they might simply wait for neoliberalism to finish imploding and offer the Taiwanese an economic system that grows the middle class.
>>
>>65506630
I don't think any country in the world wants this.
It's going to lead to a global depression, China and Taiwan manage the shipping lanes out of Asia. You won't be able to get a new computer under $3,000 for a while.
New phones will be unobtainium.
Oil will be $200 a barrel
China's entire economy will collapse regardless of the outcome, it will take a decade to normalize.
>>
>>65506675
I'm interested in visiting, can i get a lrd on a good tourist experience?
>>
>>65507227
It's not about any of that.
Taiwan is the first step to China's conquest ambitions. If China takes Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Japan are next.
>>
>>65507465
Skip it and go to Vietnam instead. For 1/3 the price you can have a better time.
>>
>>65506630
Wait until Xi starts going senile or paranoid.
>>
>>65507227
Any hope for a "special arrangement" was thrown in the grave along with Deng Xiaoping.
>>
>>65507467
>China's conquest ambitions.
That would be a disaster for them but it would be very funny to see them try. If anything I would wager they would try to fold those countries to into their sphere of influence and keep them as allied vassals. Much easier than trying to finangle an empire. In a manner parallel how they denuded the world's greatest industrial power of its industry, they could conceivably do so with its client states. This isn't to oversell the talents of China, for they are quite poor in them, but to bring into focus the fact that America's 'leaders' have been fucking around for half a century while others are playing for keeps.
>>65507550
Times change.
>>
>>65506630
It won't happen in the near future. China can look at what's going on in Iran and realize that (a) you can't just drop a bunch of bombs on a country and have them give up, it will necessarily involve a lengthy and bloody invasion and occupation, and (b) that even an extremely weak navy can maintain a substantial level of control over a critical waterway. If the USN can't fully secure the Strait of Hormuz, then the PLAN has absolutely no chance in hell of wresting control of the Strait of Malacca from the US.
>>
>>65506630
China would invade Russia before that happens
>>
Declare war on your mum for not bringing you tendies.
>>
>>65507264
After Hong Kong, Taiwan is never going to attempt any sort of peaceful union with chinkland this century
>>
>>65507476
It's completely different from Vietnam, if you want to go to the beach and party like a normie yes go to Vietnam
>>
>>65507227
Absolutely nobody wants that in Taiwan, the amount of people for the reunification is very low despite what you see spammed here
>>
>>65508004
the only people in Taiwan who want to reunify are 5th column CCP puppets, that's it.
>>
>>65507227
>fold of CCP influence peacefully
just like hong kong did huh? fuck off chang. nobody sane wants you and your rotten piece of shit CCP dictatorship anywhere near them

>any country in the world wants this.
go tell that to the aging emperor and their obsession with """legacy""". see monke, who is currently hatching a new war scheme for the baltics, for reference. As Xi is a temu copy of him

war is guaranteed. only question is what will korea and japan do when taiwan get sieged navally and US backs off from honoring their commitments. Which will happen as long as the orange tard is the one that must give the final go.
>>
>>65507451
>China and Taiwan manage the shipping lanes out of Asia.
They don't, which is why China won't do shit.
>>
>>65508118
Taiwan is a massive trap for China.
What's it worth, when your opponent can do to you what you can do to them?
This war will have a cost for China, and that cost will be catastrophic.
The Chinese will find out one day why the US military sandbags its capabilities and deals in ambiguous terms when its critical infrastructure is on fire, its satellites no longer work, and its massive radar installations can't tell where American warships are located.
China will also get to find out how useless and ineffective its VHF and UHF radars are. The ones it relies on so heavily. It's going to find out why we don't cut their internet backbone on day one, because the NSA is going to show Volt Typhoon how the highly classified successor to FoxAcid works.
>>
>>65507588
>times change
Yes.
If in the 1990's and early 2000's both Taiwan and the mainland started to warm up to each other, the reaction to Hong Kong protests and "wolf warrior" diplomacy as a whole has again brought their relations back to status quo.

All dictators are retarded on a certain level because dictatorship itself is a retarded political system that ruins nations in the long term and sometimes also in the short term.

They would skin the oligarchs and quislings alive if they weren't protected by an entire division of the People's Armed Police just over the border waiting for the first sign of trouble.

No, l not really.

You can have a great time in Taiwan, I loved it.
You would need to provide loads more detail about what you like, your interests, budget, all sorts of shit.
Do it on /trv/ though, that's a very slow board and you'll have weeks of active thread time to discuss Taiwan tourism in depth.
Also the people on /trv/ travel further than their local firing range and/or cabin innawoods.

Your retardation is not tangential. You are either completely mindbroken that every one has to have some weird fetishistic attachment to one government or another, or you are arguing in bath faith. I hope it is the latter. Men were not born for the benefit of states and governments.

does burning up all your munitions stock in an unnecessary Iran war count as "or something"? If Chyna pulls the trigger, they will be counting on USA being incapable or unwilling to intervene.

I literally hope they do. The idea that America will decline to the benefit of China is a disgrace. I just don't see us continuing to wreck China with the sort of 'leadership' we have seen for the last half century.

We know how concern trolling works. There is a reason why your arguments always start with retarded premises, otherwise you would be gleeful about all the DEI hires getting fired (since they meaningfully reduce effectiveness) instead of despondent.

>does burning up all your munitions stock in an unnecessary Iran war count as "or something"?
not really, i mean it's something in a literal sense but if i was xi I would still notice the fact that I lose a lot more right now than I gain. I also just purged generals half a year ago ish and still have projections telling me that any fight for Taiwan will still be incredibly costly for me and my nation
>>
>>65506630
October 2028 is my bet.

>>65512202
China doesn't know if that's true. It could be 100% of the stocks of one warship, but when the Lincoln was replaced so was it's missiles, the USA has a 100% ready combat load to dump on Iran if need be.
The USA isnt 53% combat effective it's 100% combat effective.
