They have surrounded it with bases and continue expanding the area with more and more bases to protect their investment. What more do you expect them to do exactly? You are not making a serious argument here. On the other side you have China conducting bullshit exercises and theatrics and nobody buys that nonsense. Nobody thinks China is serious about Taiwan and deterrence on it's own borders. The US has so many ships spread out around the world and China has so many ships concentrated on it's coasts that it could easily blockade Taiwan and collapse it's economy within a week without firing a single shot, yet they refuse to do so willingly despite the risk of them looking like a joke. If China was to go the US border and start building bases right on the US coast, the US would obliterate these bases without giving it a second thought, that's why nobody even dares to attempt to do such a thing. That is the difference between the US deterrence and China's lack of it.

You can't compare China and the US. The US Whether we like them or not is still the world's sole Superpower with the most powerful and spread out military on the planet. So it's normal that they have military bases and strong presence all over China's neighbourhood. While China can't do the same to the US since the consequences will be more severe. Until the US LOSES its pre-eminent status China can only be on the defensive. We can't blame China for this, they have to focus on first reuniting their country first and foremost then dominating their own near shores/neighbourhood before even thinking of expanding their military presence overseas to challenge the US. That won't be easy since the US has a significant military presence IN China's neighborhood and has major allies surrounding Chinas in the first and second island chains.
It will take time for China to get rid of all this and be the sole dominant power in her own neighborhood.. This is not a one day thing.. So I think CCP is smart not to rush things and lose everything. Better be cautious and aware of her realities and plan accordingly.

How about the direct invasion they've been hyping since pretty much the chiang days? Redraw borders in China and make Taiwan not Chinese?

Bases are weak when there's nearly no one in them, and furthermore it is a joke because the bases are all on US occupied countries, where in theory US can get infinite bases, yet instead of at least Putin's play of building up a credible invasion force on the border, US dallies with adding 1 supply base a year, adding a single air defense battalion or something half hearted like that.

It shows they are afraid of escalating even when it's all in their own territory. Why not deploy a credible force to Korea, why not station comparable firepower to the ETC in Japan or Philippines? Instead we get sales of 1 himars brigade to Pinoy peasants and are supposed to buy this is a credible invasion force???

US is buying it so much they elected senile Biden to fix the economy that Trump ruined by confronting China. And when that also failed, they elected Trump again on the single issue voter issue of economics.

If Washington, the world's no2 economy and largest military power by numbers is buying it, why aren't you?

So China should announce the counteroffensive on twitter? I said we are in a similar position as Ukraine, not that we are led by the same dumb people.

The beauty of being on defense with an abundance of supplies is that you can counterattack at any moment and the other guy just has to anxiously sit around and wait for it.

No, US would do nothing. They have done nothing kinetic against China even as China openly endorses and sends Russians to kill them (including US spec ops, volunteers, consultants etc) on their own heartland of Europe. They won't even institute total sanctions, because this isn't affordable. What they will do is to complain on twitter, they will ban a random Chinese boomer official from visiting US, and if they're feeling extra tough, try to coerce a deal from a private actor like Tiktok or CK but instantly give up the moment CN govt regulators look into it.

You are doing too much copium to the point its almost embrassing to be honest. Lool. If we swapped the US military position in their neighborhood with that of China I'm 100% sure you won't t be saying the same thing and rightly so. Lol

I guess Trump was expecting China fly to DC to make a deal like in 2019 then make a propaganda spectacle out of it? Kinda funny that China didn't even bother to follow thru that time and the reversed happened. The deficit became even bigger for the next few years before the trade got rerouted.

It's hard for me to understand who is Trump trying to hurt? Americans or Chinese? Trump and Narvarro seem to be willing to burn the house down to get some payback on China.

No lmao why would I want China to have a smaller economy and worse tech than US?? And no 6th gen. In exchange for what, 10 carriers that are pushing 30 yrs old + an unauditable military budget?

American projection through the roof, overdosing on copium while saying other people are coping by just stating objective facts... If your position is so excellent, your dear leader wouldn't be fucking your whole economy to try and get out of it.

Keep collecting those red stocks while huffing your fent lil Bro looool
