china/taiwan news

[escobar]

Taiwan was left alone sofar because it is more advantageous for china to do that. Taiwan capital, entrepreunership help China industrialized in 80's and 90's Large swath of Chinese consumer economy export was built or pioneer by Taiwan. Latter on people who work on this plant strike on their own. It is a way of technical transfer

Case in point the semiconductor blockade right now China still lack of semiconductor engineer and she make the shortfall by hiring thousand of Taiwan engineer .But make no mistake Semiconductor is the last frontier of Chinese technological quest With that the usefullness of Taiwan as de facto independent entity will come to and end. LKY once said the same thing leave Taiwan alone because China benefit from it
But time move on. Once China master all the technology that will be the end of Taiwan and that day is getting close now. Ironically it the US policy of depriving China from high end technology will only hasten the day.

I'm talking about what happen after the conflict. How China is planning to manage the international reaction.
The inevitable sanctions that will follow

US is playing with fire by testing the limit of China's patient

Maybe but that does not matter for now. So mentioning this is like an admission of weakness. What matter now is what US-Taiwan cooperation China is not ready to accept. After all PRC gov care so much about the relation with US and is ready to do lot of thing to appease US.

This doesn't make any sense.

I thought China was a peace-loving country that pledged to seek peaceful unification with Taiwan and wouldn't attack first, unless Taiwan did a couple of clearly defined things, such as redrafting the constitution to change the ROC's status to that of an independent Taiwan, or making a formal declaration of Unilateral Independence. I've lost count of the number of times Chinese people have told me (even on this forum) that China is patient and will wait (another) 100 years if necessary.

Are you trying to tell me that all of the above is a lie, and China will invade for no reason other than it no longer has to import semiconductors?

One of the clearly defined thing that will trigger non-peaceful unification is Taiwan hosting foreign military forces, which is what's at risk here.

Another one is total loss of hope for peaceful reunification in the foreseeable future, which is also something we are starting to approach.

Nope but the the anti seccesionist law clearly spell out the justification for Taiwan invasion and you forget to mention one of the casus beli for invasion and that is China CANNOT wait forever or Taiwan Or if Taiwan make no attempt to reunify. Base on historic precedent there are only few cases of peaceful reunification So in most probably China just have to use force

You do know he's going to twist whatever he reads and whatever others have to say to suit his agenda. Right?

Restitution =/= Invade

Locking down the thread until people can learn not to post political garbage here. @Deinoncan you assist with the cleanup?

Something may be happening. Li Hong (of the “求和” thing with KMT) who have not been seen on air for a month is back on CCTV4 and talking about Taiwan. In her show was a video about PLA conducting amphibious assault exercise:

There seem to be an unusual atmosphere in China after Tsai Ing-Wen's speech at the ROC's National Day celebration. I don't think CPC is happy about what she said, to put it mildly.

Keep your eyes open about news regarding Taiwan, this could be it.

One of these days we'll be right, why not 2020.

Why would you ever be looking forward to such a dreadful turn of events?
