China warned that World War Three could be triggered 'at any time' on Tuesday after it sent dozens of warplanes into Taiwan's airspace.An article in the state-backed Global Times newspaper said that 'collusion' between the US and Taiwan was so 'audacious' that the situation 'has almost lost any room for manoeuvre, teetering on the edge of a face-off.'It claimed that the people of China were ready to back all-out war with the US, which backs Taiwan, warning the island nation against 'playing with fire'. Taiwan, a democracy which considers itself a sovereign state, urged China and president Xi Jinping to put a halt to 'proactive actions' after

All of this is triggered because Biteme was elected, the way the U.S left Afghanistan, and China's continued violation of Taiwan's airspace by dozens of planes from China over the last several weeks.

I should think China could just threaten to nuke Taiwan, maybe send a small one to destroy a small area, then Taiwan would have no choice but to capitulate, knowing the U.S. will do nothing to help.

I believe it would be wiser to worry about the United States and the multiple problems we have before worrying about Taiwan. Fix the United States but with this administration and weak GOP that seems unlikely in the near term. Does any sane person want a war with China with the current leadership we have at all levels? Sorry folks Asia is Asian and Taiwan is part of China.

WW3 was the Cold War. We are on WW5, at least, by now. And it's already on. They are fighting against us, even if we don't fight back.

China is not afraid to make threats because they know that Biden is an impotent wimp. They can do what they want and the US will not respond due to feckless leaders. China, Iran, Russia, terrorist groups, and other bad actors now have free reign.

Soon, China aircraft carriers and battleships dock in San Diego and Norfolk for refitting, and their sailors spread out on shore to "date" our granddaughters.

I got a good idea: prepare to nuke China. Prepare to arrest and detain ALL Chinese nationals, worldwide, and if China tries to take Taiwan, hold them ALL accountable the same way you do the accomplice of a murderer, who got himself shot during the commission of a crime.

I remember the media panic and fear mongering about Trump and North Korea, yet Trump showed strong leadership and tactful diplomacy when he met with Kim Jong Un.
When Trump was president, foreign countries had respect for the US. Now with bumbling Biden, they see we are weak and vulnerable. The teacher has left the room.

This is all made up sham to give legitimacy to the Biden regime's 'foreign policy'. IMO none of this can occur without Xi's permission and consent. You pretend to hit. I will pretend to be hurt.

China committed an act of war two years ago against the entire world by releasing the Covid, causing severe damage to all countries with death and economic destruction.
The world seemed to accept this with no punitive measures whatsoever toward China, so why would they be concerned about taking any aggressive action toward any country. The leadership at the Pentagon is directed at indoctrinating the troops with white guilt training and has no interest in traditional military functions, and China has recognized this. The defacto Chinese Embassy is now located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Recall that China hated and had complete lack of respect for Obama. Obama and his entourage are the bad actors behind the curtains pulling Bidens strings. Biden is corrupt and owned by China. China has no worries that Biden/Obama will take any actions to prevent them from doing whatever it is that they want to do.

China's rise as a world power has been a direct consequence of their being treated as a major manufacturing source and trading partner of the US and other major Western countries. Any attack of Taiwan (which is one of the major sources of the world's computer chips) would instantly cut off that source of economic growth and stability for China. They would be subject to internal strife from food and other shortages as a result.
Bottom line: I see this as chest puffing and saber rattling intended to scare the US in particular and possibly to energize and embolden any Taiwan revolutionaries (much like the Russians did in Ukraine). For the moment, I believe they will only try to get certain trade and other concessions from the US and other squishy Western countries as a kind of blackmail/intimidation tactic rather than actually attacking Taiwan.

No one believes that comparatively tiny Taiwan could defeat China in a outright war. However, Taiwan is not without means to deliver blows to the approximately 3,000 communist party bigwigs living in the People's Republic. They might have already been targeted in anticipation of such an attack. A decapitation strike. It's possible. Does Xi feel lucky?

The only reason china has not mounted a frontal assault on Taipei is because President Trump is crouched like a lion waiting for his next term to emerge. Xi does NOT want to risk an aggressive commitment with our VSGDJT just itching to jump into the game.

# 10 I am very much aware of the economic position Taiwan has, and I am also very much aware of the economic linkage between mainland China and Taiwan. Roughly 40% of all high-tech production and agriculture produced in Taiwan is purchased by China. I am also aware that Taiwan really only came into its own around 1949 when the Kuomantang (Chinese Nationalist forces) led by Chiang Kai-shek were driven off the mainland. This is not directly about economics, but instead, about projecting strength in Asia. This forum is not really conducive for a military or economic analysis; however, given the current situation and recent performance it seems to me (my opinion only) that this is not the best time to antagonize China. Regarding the statement about Taiwan's economic importance, I do not believe in dying or sending our sons and daughters to die for the continued economic viability of an island comprised mostly of Chinese who are already heavily entwined with China economically and socially.

Saber-rattling and tough talk like this have been going on forever as an integral part of a nations' war games. Everyone does it, including us. It's no surprise that someone violated someone else's air space. That's how opponents test each others' radar systems. Our media is very happy to create the impression that we're on the brink of WW3 because they know the American public is easily distracted...China/Taiwan concerns are far better for Biden than continued discussion about his failed Afghanistan pullout and the southern border debacle.

Just send the surrender documents over so fraud Biden and meat head Milley can sign them. Just be done with it because Biden won't even be aware he surrendered just like the Afghanistan fiasco. Biden is so out of it with his brain all applesauce now he's darn near Mr. McGoo at this point. FJB

The Democratic party has been called the "War Party" for good reason. Now that it has gone full Marxist, even more so. Weakness encourages enemy aggression, leading to war.
"Peace through strength" is a concept that Democrats cannot (or WILL NOT) understand.

Way back in the 50s vietnam was to have an election But the inevitable result that would have been was unacceptable So decades of blood and destruction led to the same result that election would have The carnage was for nothing I wonder how many taiwanese would look at reunification with the mother country as liberation i dont know but more than a few im sure i know who i dont believe and that is the USA Minitrue How about let Them work it out and we focus on our own problems and not repeat the past carnage for nothing

This is a direct result of our incompetent weak leadership. China smells blood in the water. And in the meantime we’re too worried about Covid shots and racist statues to worry about our own National security. The only concern Democrats will have is how this will impact the mid-term elections.
