I know what their official policy is and I hold it in as much esteem as their official Israel policy (cowardly, delusional and pathetic)

I'm not sure how every single fucking American politician (in both parties) and military spokesmen say on repeat "we are preparing for a war with China in 10 years" and you just don't get it. WW3 is coming. This trade war is part 1, the economic decoupling. Part 2 is using Taiwan as a launching pad for an actual kinetic proxy war. The only smart play is to proactive and remove the Taiwan card from the imperialists hand.

I don't think they will because all signs point to them being overly cautious and craven, but they should if they fully realized the reality that WW3 with America is coming either way. Instead, they'll make the same mistake as Iran and let their allies get picked off one-by-one and sit on their hands afraid to act as they are surrounded and isolated.

Russia and DPRK truly seems to be the only countries that get it. Who have the political will and foresight to act preemptively and not reactively.

WW3 is coming before your fabled "voluntary reunification" which has 0% chance of happening currently

Yes America will provoke WW3 with China within the next few decades due to its internal contradictions and need for war to destroy fixed capital. Every single American politician and general has been saying it loud and clear. Taiwan will be their foothold, and China will be at a strategic disadvantage if they don't seize it before hostilities escalate fully. It's the difference between WW3 battles taking place in the Pacific or on the Chinese coasts.

At the first opportunity China must seize Taiwan by force. Otherwise they are dooming probably millions to death from a longer and more drawn out war closer to the mainland. Just like Putin seizing Crimea by force in 2014 was the correct move, and the current Ukraine war would be much larger if he had not done that - and failing to take the Donbas in 2014 proved a costly mistake.

America is going to push the situation and arm them directly with missiles, jets, anti-air systems, etc. before they ever decide to all do an about face on decades of policy and randomly stop being sinophobic reactionary compradors for some reason. If they ever do decide to swap to China their chip infrastructure will be destroyed and bombed by the US. Taiwan will never join China until it is forced to, and it will start a war and be a Ukrainian-like proxy in a much shorter time frame.

This is a situation where the Chinese official policy is delusional and naive. On many foreign policy issues they have their heads in the sand.

Yeah that's not gonna happen.

Only way out is political violence. But it needs to be organized and disciplined

I bet this study is exaggerating and funded by rightwing groups to scaremonger, numbers seem too high to me tbh. I remember one rightwing poll was saying like 26% of Americans were communists lmao

Wait for what? They can bide their time, but the point of biding your time is that you make a move at the opportune moment. They need to actually seize Taiwan at some point

If the US strikes Iran then China should seize Taiwan immediately

It's win-win for them and Iran. Iran gets a distraction allowing reprieve, and China takes back the imperialist foothold into their own de facto control

sad. Don't get in helicopters folks unless it's a life-or-death situation
