What sort of industrial modern culture do you envision, and how did the US/soviet union deviate from them?

Anybody too close to US ideological influence invariably ends up as such, as reflected in both the KMT and DPP. However, the real Ukraine situation isn't even Taiwan but the US itself ironically, but it's gonna hurt them far more given that China really won't hold back once the shooting starts for real.
Honestly, China's closer to achieving the necessary elements for an AI based-socialist system than literally anybody else, and developments are happening at an accelerating rate for that matter. At the end of the day if we make it through this epoch I can see something like a Star Trek-Futurama hybrid as the most likely outcome scenario.
They decided it was better to lose the Russian market and retain the US one. Because they exported more to the US than Russia. They will lose exports to both Russia and China in the end. Which dwarfed exports to the US. And the US will continue to move other G7 countries industry to the US as well reducing whatever exports to the US they still make.

What a joke. The only difference between Trump from Obama and Biden is how much bull the two liked to hide behind. Obama sent Sino/US relations plummeting all because he felt dissed by China and Biden didn’t want to look weak on China in front of Republicans. “Room for negotiations” means just like how the EU too thinks it can be the only one to dictate to China on terms. Look at how top Democrats are joining in with Lindsey Graham’s bill to slap a 500% tariff on countries that do business with Russia. Like that doesn’t result in the collapse of the US economy like when Trump imposed his less than 500% tariff before he went TACO?
Look at how now there’s calls for an alliance of major economies against Trump including China by officials of the EU because of Trump again threatening tariffs against them when they were telling Trump to only do it to China. Do they forget about that? They think they don't need China but they can't do anything without China.
Rahm Emanuel is on the news a lot lately being interviewed because he’s the preference of the Democratic crones to run for the Democrat's nominee for President next time. Same nonsense with Biden except they're hoping on taking the Jewish vote away from Trump. I saw him in an interview trying spin how the Chinese threat to the Philippines was far greater than for Taiwan. Any country that helps in the forever imperialistic goals of the West should be punished with losing their territory.
The best solution is the Victor Gao line, and Tibet/Xizang is not connected with India anymore.
Now that there is an actual defense company that’s unironically named “Palantir” influencing many of the policies in the country…
Well said. In fact only China is in a position to make the transition, other major economies are way too captured by capital to make the change
No reasonable analyst expects the PLA to go full blown 留岛不留人 ("keep the island, keep not the people") on Taiwan, but such vulgar rejections of Chinese identity may convince PLA units to embrace more liberal rules of engagement when prosecuting certain target sets when the day of reckoning arrives.
Though at least one of these tough guys will assuredly surrender for clemency, if not a CPPCC seat, rather than flee or make any sort of stand:
A bit strange for China to appear at such a gathering while Arab states like Egypt, KSA and UAE are visibly absent.
Rahm Emanuel is pretty much universally acknowledged to be an asshole, even by himself and media outlets favorable to Democrats:
Let's not mince words: Trump is an asshole too, so Democrats think that's what American voters want.
The Philippines is not a legitimate country. Never has been, never will be.
This isn't a "nice thing" to say, but it should be pretty obvious that the Philippines is an artificial and inevitably temporary construct once you realize that it's still named after King Philip II of Spain.
Significant changes to the borders of the Philippines will be inevitable in the long term, assuming it will even continue to exist under its current name.
TBH, a not insignificant number of Filipinos wished the Philippines had embraced American statehood as Hawaii did, rather than independence. Now they risk becoming expendable cannon fodder.
