It is people like you who said they have the brain but NO GUT, why China was weak. Remember Song dynasty wonder if people like are interested in History at all read history instead reading all those stupid Phd book with no nothing to gain. So what good is all your Phd if you don't have a job?
The US practically throw a way the Beijing consensus by sending their ambassador ,De facto recoqnizing Taiwan as independent country. Selling ton and tons of weapon to Taiwan and all China can do is protesting
What strategy other than no GUT!
yeah all the talk is ueseless if the enemy know that you can only transport 1 division the most across the Taiwan strait. Say today Taiwan declare independence what can China do when transport ship can only ferry 2 division of Marine and 1 more army division ?
Calmness in all is always necessary when dealing with things like these.
While I admit that the US sending its ambassador there was a challenge to the China, it is still important to understand that Taiwan has still not declared independence. I mean defacto Taiwan is already a country.
The only difference is that it cant have proper diplomatic missions (US is trying to change this though) and that it hasn't properly declared independence. So for now China is ok. However I would say that China needs to impose costs on US when it tries to salami-slice China's red line on Taiwan.
The selling of weapons is nothing out of the normal. This has happened in the past as well, maybe the only difference is the scale of it but it still doesn't matter because their high-ticket items will be destroyed in the initial barrage.
I will note though, that China must pay attention if the US tries to sell to Taiwan asymmetric weapon systems.
And if Taiwan declares independence there are a lot of ways for China to respond. I am sure that the PLA has a couple of plans on their drawer. There are ways to punish it and to also capture I would say, so no need to be afraid that China would be incapable of taking it if something happened
