I doubt Taiwan was ever even a possibility. By CCPs own estimates, it would take upwards of 1.5 million troops on the ground to do Taiwan. That's not counting armored vehicles and other heavy weapons such as artillery.
CCP has no where near that haul capacity. And using the ports to offload standard cargo ships is a non starter because it is well known that Taiwan defense plan calls for destruction of their own ports to prevent that from happening if the situation goes hot.
CCP talks shit. But in reality doesn't have the means to do shit.
Hope you are correct here. I think that China will go through a phase change soon due to financial issues, but I hope it affects as few people as possible and doesn't end in conflict.
I do suspect it will end in conflict, but it will be mostly contained internally in power faction against power faction.
CCP never really stopped the "Warlord Era". It just changed the name and dressed it up in suits.
I also suspect we've been seeing the beginning phase of this internal war(s) with all the lock down bullshit going on. That has all the smell of power blocks assaulting the economic/financial infrastructre(s) of competing power blocks, and a whole lot of people have been dying in the process. Many of them permanenly sealed up in their homes to starve to death.
Yes, I read it exactly as you do. Ruthless power blocks in China competing for supremacy. Regional power blocks such as Shanghai I imagine. It's hard to see accurately what's going on from here though.
CCP == Chinas Deep State? Mao/CCP installed with help from our CIA and....
Q shared suggestive photos about Western involvement in Maos rise to power.
Makes sense.
My paternal grandfather was a civilian in China when Japan attacked the US. The only evacuation plan the state department had was to evacuate all the women and children by boat and the men had to go to Mao's people for safe keeping.
Grandad spent a few months under the care of Maoists then escaped and made it out via what became the Burma Road once it was completed.
During and immediately after WW2, our efforts in China were disguised as helping fight the Commies, while doing exactly what we recently did in Afghanistan. Leaving behind massive vehicle, fuel, weapons, supply and ammo dumps in places the Commies could easily access.
