Why can't he take Taiwan? It's just a tiny island
>>545718953Because Chinks unlike Pidorussians want to develop their nation not waste resources and human lives on pointless wars.
>>545718953Because chinese are smol and their yellow slanted eyes are horrible for CQC and general warfare ching chang chong chong!!!
>>545718953A tiny island is not worth crashing Chinese export economy over. What China has is time and they should spend all this time rearming against mutts.
>>545718953They Don't need to. China has always played the long game. They can simply wait for US-led global order to collapse, then taiwan will come to join them voluntarily
Taipei will join back when the time is right. No reason to kill people.
>>545718953The US/China rivalry is a lie sold to stupid people to keep them focused on 'the enemy' instead of their own governments. Both countries rely heavily on one another and are much closer to official partners than rivals. China can't take Taiwan without pissing off its main trade partner. The US doesn't actually 'own' Taiwan either, the CCP just says "it's part of China" and no one says "nah actually we own it!" so both are able to maintain the status quo. You're basically asking "Why can't Sauron win?" Not in that the chinks are in any way equivalent, but that this is simply how it's scripted.
>>545718953Once democrats win the presidency he will
>>545719031Didn't the one child policy result in like 150 million surplus males who can never breed? Surely they could stand to lose a few
>>545719139I wonder if China really doesn't care about Taiwan's economic value as a producer of computer chips and just wants it as a landgrab to integrate it and its population.If that's the case then China won't invade, but will continue to threaten to invade until other countries catch up in the ability to produce semiconductors and when finally no one cares about Taiwan, it will take it.
>>545718953He obviously can at this point, Americans won’t want to pay extra for cheap plastic crap and will refuse to fight
>>545718953The war only makes sense if Taiwan is weaponized as a blockade with the ryukyu island chain and the phillipines or a very low cost moment. It's safer and they benefit more with the status quo until the situation is made not.

Well if you act to soon and can't fully commit you will just waste lives and resources for nothing like the Ukraine and Iran wars.
