I wonder how they would react to an effort to develope a nuclear program in Taiwan?
They would probably use it as an excuse to invade, unless Taiwan suddenly had about 50 medium range nuclear ballistic missiles from a secret project that was in the works for decades that for sure did not come from the US.

More like China reaching in their pants to see if they have balls.

Problem is China does not possess enough ships capable of landing troops onto the island.

I doubt the USA would allow a starvation blockade and even if Twain's navy & air force was destroyed, Chinese troops wouldn't make it onto the beaches alive. Twain has prepared for beach landings since they fled from China.

When you hear of China building more amphibious assault craft able to transport troops across 100km+ ocean and land them onto a beach then you can worry. And if they do that everyone knows there coming and can prepare (like building/buying a crap load of anti ship missiles).

China can easily bankrupt USA. Your $$$ is worthless without Chinese pumping money into your treasury. China owns US. Bow to your new land lord. It's Chinese custom.

You're right, but don't underestimate how much China also needs us, economically.

Wrong! China doesn't only do business with the US. China can easily survive without America. I hope China take all their money back with interests.

We owe the Chinese what, $775 billion? It's less than 8% of our debt, and and less than 5% of a single year's GDP. Exaggerate much?

It is a good thing that AT allows idiots to continually post with regards to the quality of the posts.

Otherwise Azn would be banned for inability to comprehend.
I do not know where he gets his communist propoganda, but it must be good to indocrinate him so readily (or he is such an idiot)

We also have to realize that China is going through a huge period of explosive growth and change and a large number of Chinese people are unhappy. Problems of pollution, mass dislocations, and worse yet for the communist government, rising doubts about its censorship and wisdom. In short, if the USA does nothing, the new China will become more open, and be more Western friendly, while a communist government sows the seeds of its own self destruction.
.

Yeah, whatever.... The last Chinese that had balls to overthrow their government died in 1989... Now they're all complacent with their Geely cars and iPhones...

well Internet forums in Taiwan is filled with aholes from China hired by the CCP to spread propaganda. One thing China has plenty of is people who has nothing to do, have no moral and brainwashed to sit in front of PC all day and jump through forums to spread BS.

A lot of people on this forum seem to think that the USA could just write off its debt to China if it pleased. If that happened, no nation would ever again lend money to the USA. USA depends so heavily on foreign debt that this would sink the nation - and the USA would be completely unable to fight wars without foreign funds.

But just any other nation, nothing will unite the Chinese people more than General issues like Taiwan. Which is why feel its foolish to get into a pissing contest with China over Taiwan. As it is, a general reunification along a Singapore type autonomy model is the bloodless end result, and probably what the Chinese Government wants in the 30 year long term.

And as the Chinese economy expands, their main worry will be an equally expanding India. And to a certain extent, an expanding Russia that again starts tapping Siberian resources China also covets.


Please, you really have no idea what you are talking about. China is more open only in the economic front. On the political front, CCP is as closed as the day they killed thousands of people in Tianamen square. People opposing CCP still get jailed without going through court and still mysteriously disappear. Group opposing CCP still got put down violently, just ask people in Tibet, Xinjiang and people in Galun Gong. China is putting up more censorship, more anti-west and more nationalist propaganda everyday.

And just because China wants Taiwan, the whole world should just give Taiwan to China and forget about what the 23 million free Taiwanese want? and what's that about Singapore? You don't even know the difference between Singapore and Hong Kong and you are commenting on Chinese Politics?

We could declare war against China and all our debts would be instantly relieved!
