How China's Military Views the United States

So much ignorance in so few words. You should probably start by reading up on the KMT--they are NOT the pro-independence party in Taiwan. They are the status quo party. They support separate political systems while being nominally a part of China. They never do anything to inflame China with talk of independence. If they were punished in the last elections, then it was because they do not support independence. I'm guessing you've never been to Taiwan, eh, comrade?

 

What the politicians probably understand that the American people don't is that over 90% of the advanced computer chips in the world are made in Taiwan. We literally can't afford to lose Taiwan to China. Our military would be crippled in any kind of longer-term war that required additional production of weapons and weapons systems during the war. Taiwan is not just another pretty island off the coast of China. Why else would we be desperately investing billions to build computer chip factories in Ohio and other places? Taiwan's independence is currently an existential issue for the United States.

 

First of all, biological attacks are relatively unpredictable. Second, the war games assume that Taiwan can do little to defend itself. These are the same war game people that predicted Ukraine would fall in a matter of weeks to Russia. Well, guess where the HIMARS weapons will probably be headed after Ukraine finishes off Russia in another year or so? It will be harder to arm Taiwan after China starts an invasion (compared to bringing weapons into Ukraine), so it will have to be done ahead of time. We may already be sending them some weapons and training their military. I would think that persuading Taiwan to send some of their computer chip manufacturing capability to the U.S. (or some other country immune to the threat of Chinese invasion) would improve their security situation by making them a less attractive target for China. (China would then not be able to capture 90% of the world's advanced computer chip manufacturing by invading Taiwan.)

 

An economics expert predicts China's collapse in about ten years. The population is aging (and contracting), regional debt is sky-high, and China's economy is overly dependent on exports. And there is some unrest due to China's Covid policies. I would add that foreign companies are moving manufacturing of goods to other southeast Asian countries, and their central planning group for capital investment is dreadfully incompetent.

So you can read. But only the first half of the first sentence. Your own article says that voters in Taiwan "are not happy with local governance issues". Yet your reading comprehension skills are so poor that you interpreted that to mean "hands off, U.S.A." The U.S.A. is not a local governance issue. China is not a local governance issue. Do you know what local governance issue means?

I recommend that you go to a remote island in the south Pacific and practice reading the first sentence of news articles until you get to the end of the sentence and are sure that you've understood the entire sentence. Then come back here in 3-4 years and display your newfound ability. We'll wait . . .

 

More bad news for China. As global warming gets worse, it will damage the economy of China worse than other countries, with several coastal provinces at the highest risk. These coastal provinces account for much of China's GDP, with several having over 80 million in population. In fact, the top nine locations in the world that will suffer the most from climate change are all in China.

I have worked a couple of months in the Jiangsu province--it is certainly industrialized.

The area most prone to climate change disruption outside of China is some place that most people have never heard of--Flori-something-or-other.
