The CHN/ China thread

"There is no justification for this extreme, disproportionate and escalatory military response," Blinken said, speaking at a news conference during the sidelines of the ASEAN Regional Forum in Cambodia. He added, "now, they've taken dangerous acts to a new level".

Would you consider it an attack if I push a knife into your leg while yelling and shouting at you?

I understand what you mean..If one these ballistic fall down.

The question is will Taiwan protest or do the same send a ballistic into China as a revenge.

If you have 30 mins or so, I think every citizen of a so Called Democratic Countries and all their young children should watch this piece of history before you jump on the American Bandwagon of Retirees that are currently in charge of the Nuclear Button.

Yes we will,But the population of the world will suffer from the decisions of those who who will not miss a meal, never go without A/C or worry about the cost of petrol. Hell they have the best medical plans on this planet anywhere they go. And their mode of transportation "Private Jets" Pollute the atmosphere more than my 2019 Toyota 4 cylinder that has passed California emission control. And their emission controls are stringent and simple.A government employee sticks their nose in your exhaust pipe for 10 min. If they don't pass out, the car is good to go. Now i just turn the ignition key off. It saves lives.

Well hell that turned into a pro 4 cylinder story, Ya can't get any cheaper and cleaner than that. Any way when the Politician takes a cut in their pay and release their stock market choices and tell me based on what i have payed in all my WORKING LIFE i'm getting a raise by $3000.00 a month i will not care who they go to war with. Just don't mess with my Toyota.

You, like everybody else, will not be able to afford not caring for the outcome of the Taiwan war.
And beside the global importance of their semiconductor industry, here are 23 million people who have any right a naturally born human can have to decide all by themselves whether they want to be enslaved and owned by the slaveholder party of the chinese emperor. And that free decision trumps all the historical mumbo jumbo. Like I said before about Catalonia, Basques, the Irish and Scots, anyone: the population living in the region is no property of others, and if they say they want not to be governed by a foreign distant regime, tbat rdgime has already run out of valid arguments and has no moral right whatever to subjugate this population to its will.


The relevance of taiwan dwarfens the role of russian gas for europe, easily.

Since I don't like war I decide to trust what some of the expert have said in the news here in Denmark and Sweden.

China is in no interest of a war with Taiwan/USA

In a about a week from now-Everything will have calmed down again.

I agree. It's just cold war posturing.

Ukraine war also started with manouvers.

Nothing is certain these says anymore. And the Chinese look more and more irrational to me. Like all all fanatics.


Everything needs to be expected. For Taiwans pilots, the constNt alarms must be exhausting. And china effectively is in a position to blockade the island.
