Putin - Biden talk, the lesson for China.
Putin demands guarantee that NATO stops eastwards expansion and no deployment of offensive weapons on Russia's border, or else.
Biden says if Russia invades Ukraine, the West will put unbearable economic sanctions on it.
not even threat of response in force! this is US's response to an invasion at NATO's doorsteps.
back to the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, the US wants to change its ambiguous policy, it wants to use force explicitly.
lesson for China: act forcefully, and more forcefully in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.

And back it up with nuclear parity.
But what's going to happen to the winter Olympic games? sarcasm..
I am of the opinion sometimes that Chinese leadership are in a way more measured, half-hearted in some ways in terms of pushing the issue of Taiwan in a much firmer fashion. It can't, won't, or hesitates to point out that America is as of this moment sent its spy plane close to China's periphery trying to observe the current PLA naval exercise.
No mention whatsoever, that sometimes I feel and think that China relishes being put in a defensive when it comes to defending herself even when China is most obviously correct but because it doesn't want to shake the confidence of the market and the economy it practically looks like it staples it's lips. Which leads me to think sometimes that China is so afraid to cause economic hardships for her people leading to a possible revolt from the masses that making such overt war like pronouncements are often best avoided. Which has a negative effect against China in the public perception and almost telegraphing to it's arch nemesis, the U.S. it's eternal weakness. In my idiotic opinion, the Chinese leadership is more interested in making money and getting rich than protecting the integrity, sanctity of what the previous generations of CPC leadership fought and died for. I see them acting more like the Song and the later day Qing when it comes to placating the interests of the moneyed interests compared to the national interests of the country and it's historical legacy. If China was under a democratic system such idiotic maneuverings by these Americans will not be tolerated and war would have probably and most likely happened already. And the government would not be this dilettante or cowardly in the face of ongoing America insults and onslaught.
These are some of the things that my mind think from time to time when reading news like the ones above. I am obviously waay off base in everything I said but I must admit that my desire to see China shut the American traps supercedes my ability of trying to look at the current geopolitical tug of war on a more emotional lense.

Re the S-400, is it true that all the S-400s in existence are linked, meaning that if an S-400 encounters a Us F-35 or F-22, it'll transmit that info to all other S-400s around the world?
China could have data re Indian Rafales due to having russian S-400s of its own...and what about flying J-20s near those S-400s?
Lmao they be like 'Better Dead than Red', then proclaim themselves to be 'Victims of Communism'
