Of course no one said because of sovereignty, but it actually the truth. Not all company in China are state owned. TW company has some privilege in China. moreover, mainland government limit these fishmen where and when to go fishing, there will be a fine if they not obey this. But they still do this and don't care about the punishment.
The mainland-taiwan relationship is very complex, actually some bosses or workers from taiwan work in mainland are spies. Although I don't want to admit it but it is the truth. I don't think mainland government will make it public before unifying.
That's all good. But I am afraid you need to provide some evidences to support your earlier claim that fishermen arrested are employed by Taiwan. Otherwise I would just disregard it as misinfo.

I'm not going to make an EROEI joke, I'm just going to point out the silliness of your position as clearly and straightforwardly as I can. If America wanted to start a war, it would just prepare itself and attack. It wouldn't be trying to bait China, it wouldn't be talking out of both sides of its mouth, it wouldn't have one branch of its failure of a government try to put out the fire started by another branch.

It would just do it.
If things don't get "hot" between US and China in August of 2022, I will forfeit my forum membership....
I'm calling it now... this whole thing is an elaborate fifth generation information warfare psyops to make folks like yourself thinking there is nothing more to it when in fact there is and everyone is distracted into believing its US politician disfunction...

In a month from now the world as we knew it to be will be unrecognizaable

You sorta proved the point of the accelerationists, it benefits America the most to take the total war to China's doorsteps as soon as possible, and this infact is what I surmise is the true intent of the US with the Pelosi trip in August....

America cannot afford to wait until China has 6 carriers and figured out homegrown EUV or sub 5nm IC fab or whatever....

US was never going to give up its hegemony without a kinetic full scale fight.

I just dont understand why people always think its "someday in the future"... I mean it had to happen, and August 2022 is as good a date as any
Well, it seems that the United States will win anyway.
They either used force to destroy the enemy completely, or forced their opponents to retreat and become the second Khrushchev.

As long as they can successfully prove once again that "the United States can protect everyone", they can successfully destroy all the diplomatic efforts of CPC without firing a shot.

So what else is Pelosi afraid of? Don't care about those bravado interceptions, rest assured and boldly slap Xi in the face.

Is that so bad, really? I mean I've seen you get slapped in the face here repeatedly. Very often, actually. Yet you persist in posting here, completely undeterred. I assure you that Xi is far more persistent than you are.

Of course I'm being ironic.
Pelosi added a "tentative" to her itinerary, and it seems that she is ready to retreat.
When all the people who supported her visit plan belonged to the Republican Party, things became very ridiculous.

It is hard for these politicians to make such great self sacrifice,only the most ambitious political gamblers dare to do so.

It didn't look like you were being ironic. It looked like you were very sincere in your belief that the US had won a splendid victory, re-established its credibility and unassailability. It was all but invincible in your telling, and dishing out humiliations at will to China.

You even implied that Pelosi had somehow turned Xi into Khrushchev, despite the fact that Khrushchev has about as much relevance to Chinese governance as Tutankhamen.

I don't want to carry out personal attacks, but your previous reply seems to show the view that China's industry will be destroyed by the blockade and bombing of the United States and then fall into failure.

Considering that the United States has deployed a large number of valuable military assets on the most dangerous front, it is worth considering whether the strike effect you envisaged can be achieved, and this kind of thing seems to should be discussed in another topic.

Even NK's nukes are enough to deter an American invasion, so this is simply not true.
Then you misunderstand the situation completely. The DPRK is safe from America not just because it has a handful of nuclear weapons but because it's worthless. America losing one city to snuff out North Korea is not an exchange worth making. North Korea is not worth destroying, China is. If an American president had the option of annihilating China forever and losing three or four major cities in a meagre retaliatory attack, what makes you think he wouldn't take that opportunity? That's an excellent exchange in the US's favour.

For a Chinese leader to not understand this and persist with minimal deterrence is monstrous negligence. The statement that China is worth defending should not be controversial.

I think strategically this few weeks can be a good opportunity to practise mass mobilization for 100k + troops and multiple ships and planes at beach close to taiwan, as a deterrent as well as practise for potential invaison. Other time if china dares mobilize so many troops close to taiwan, will be scrutinized heavily by international media. This time China can do it legitimately as a deterrent to Pelosi visit + USN presence.
