Can you give a short summary of what they are saying?
And on another note, why does the studio seems to be airing a kids show with all these contrasting colours..
Too many topics to cover fully, but one thing that particularly struck me was one of the guests was saying it didn't matter how many carriers the US send to the straits, they'll all be sunk.
I remember only a few years ago, we were debating on this very forum the combat effectiveness of China's ASBM. At the time, all the pro-US posters were claiming the DF-21 was untested, and there were many ways for carriers to evade the missiles.
Fast forward to 2021. China's carrier killing capability is now taken for granted. It's no longer a question of if the US would intervene, it's not even a question of whether the US can win, it's simply a fact that the US is no longer capable of defending Taiwan from the Mainland.
As the commentator put it, everything is ready for armed reunification. The only thing Beijing is waiting for is an opportunity. DPP just needs to make one wrong move, and it will be all over for them.
I am reminded of the last time Taiwan was "forcefully reunified", that is under Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty. Taiwan was then held by the Zheng family, a remnant of the Ming Dynasty. A succession struggle resulted in the second son of Zheng Jin killing his older brother the prince heir to gain the throne. This resulted in a divided island as most of the common people supported the prince heir.
The Qing fleet, under the command of Admiral Shi Lang, defeated the Taiwan fleet in battle. The newly crowned King quickly surrendered to the Qing, and thus ended Ming's last remaining bastion.
