While Biden is pining for the fjords, there will never be a better time for China to take Taiwan. If they are ever going to do it, the window of oppurtunity is now and up until January when Trump is back in the White house.
But how will it affect the world?
My perception is that China (the CCP) is significantly more evil (forced organ harvesting, maximum surveillance and censorship, etc) than Russia is under Putin -- who is a thug, but a thug who acts as though he actually cares about the Russian people, much as with Muammar Gaddafi and Libya.
So I'm less sanguine about China invading and taking over Taiwan than I am about Russia fighting to get rid of active assaults (bio- and otherwise) from Ukraine and possibly annexing the Russian-population areas there.
I have lived in China, and like any nation it is evident that there are competing faction,s , no different than the US. My research leads me to believe that Xi is working from within to fundamentally alter China. Like Putin he has changed the lives of countless millions. I believe both Xi and Putin need our support not SANCTIONS or even criticism unless the WEST removes the many planks from its own eyes.
Interesting. I hope you're right.
I belive that too, I really haven’t a clue wether Taiwan should belong to China or not though.
