Helicopters, drones, and metals they won't be able to use at Taiwan.
Why do you want to end the world so badly?
Plan for the worst, hope for the best
You can't claim to be hoping for the best when you're the one making provocations.
Hopefully the United States doesn’t continue to escalate tensions in regards to the island.
Russia's military strength has been degrading since the war began. How long do you wait with your ally losing strength? Sure, you could prop him up but then that's a drain on your economy. If you postpone indefinitely, the situation may change to be even more unfavorable.
Generally speaking, China benefits from stalling for as long as possible. The power of the imperial core is waning, so if China can navigate things such that the US -- due to its own economic dependency on imperialism -- crumbles to a much lower stature without the US launching nukes, then its influence in the world will become a shadow of what it was and reunification without firing a shot may be viable.
I was just talking about this today. China is leading towards a multi-polar world very effectively, but the US is the only nation to have used nukes in history. Really puts things in stark relief.
Plus the leadership in DC are senile psychopaths who have at best a loose grasp on world affairs. And that's just the Democrats. The GOP are increasingly all fascists completely divorced from reality. Real "Sick old man" hours, except unlike the Ottomans DC has enough nukes to flash-fry the planet if the wrong corpse-lich has a stroke at the right time.
Because their plan for reunification is peaceful, which a military invasion would make more difficult.
Not sure that makes it any better. Oppressing a country vs. helping oppress a country.
Politically it's better. Ukraine has 16 countries that committed over a billion Euros. We're not how many countries would back Taiwan.
I mean over a billion Euros is technically correct, the actual number however is more like 150 to 200 billion Euros
Sorry, I meant over a billion Euros each. The US is at over €70 billion alone.
Of our hard-earned money, those degenerate warmongers (I'm looking at you, Urszula)!
the difference is in Taiwan's case america would be directly involved and have already committed to this, it is likely Japan would also and some other countries are likely to contribute to. china wouldn't have a hope
In every simulation, China wipes the floor with the US in a conventional war against the mainland. You can look it up if you like.
already have, and every simulation says the opposite. dunno what nonsense you been looking at
edit: oh, lemmygrad. nevermind
Let's hope we never have to find out who's right.
on this I agree. lot of death on all sides garunteed. noone wants this
Absolutely.
It:s a shame because supplying that gear to Ukraine would have helped China's reputation on the international stage and bolstered trade. It would have not been well received by the Kremlin but a losing army can't invade anyone else.
They are, though?
People are going on AliExpress and buying stuff. This is neither new nor illegal. Chinese companies live in a capitalist market just like everyone else.

China and Russia are working together to overthrow the relatively democratic, rules-based US-Euro hegemony. That's why they announced their super duper special forever friendship shortly before Putin started his latest genocidal land grab.
Oh no! Not the DJI Mavic Pro! Whatever will they do without
*4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera *Dual Tele Cameras *Cine Only Tri-Camera Apple ProRes Support
Here's hoping. How do you think they will solve their naval border disputes with neighboring countries?
