I wonder who caused that regime to come to power. Could it have been… The US? 😱

A lot of Americans really want China to go to war with Taiwan.

I think you’re misunderstanding. If China were to invade, it would be over quickly. I’m not saying that China wouldn’t have losses in the process, I’m just saying it wouldn’t take long due to the fact that the island is roughly the size of Maryland. To add to that, I doubt the US would actually get involved and would instead just try to sell weapons to Taiwan, just like Ukraine.

That being said, invasion aside, like as a completely separate course of action, I believe they’d be more likely to take the long term path of embargo. They wouldn’t be bombarding the island, just preventing supplies from coming in or out. They can do this outside of the range of Taiwan’s defenses and Taiwan is incapable of sustaining itself for very long. The war would likely end within a year, the US would probably make a lot of threats, but ultimately wouldn’t sacrifice the US economy for a war with China.

Now, this is really the most important part. It is well within China’s best interest to not invade Taiwan. They have a symbiotic relationship and the whole situation is just posturing between the US and China and has nothing to do with Taiwan at all.

I literally just responded to another comment saying that I don’t believe China would ever invade Taiwan and it’s just US propaganda intended on selling weapons through fear mongering.

No it isn’t. They could carpet bomb the whole island in a week. They don’t even need to step foot on Taiwan to conquer it. Their Navy and Air Force is more than enough. But they’d be more likely to just blockade the country and starve everyone.

That being said, I don’t actually believe China will invade Taiwan. There’s no real incentive. I don’t doubt that they’re expanding their military, but I believe it’s entirely US propaganda intended on selling weapons through fear mongering.

Taiwan is a 13,976 sq mile Island. Yemen is a 214,287 sq mile desert. Ukraine is 233,062 sq miles. It’s not a fair comparison. China could take Taiwan very quickly because it’s a tiny little island. They’re more likely to simply embargo the island though and turn it into the next Cuba.

I work in Florida for Raytheon and most of my coworkers likely have a photo of either Reagan or Trump above their fireplace. I don’t get to talk politics very often. My mom knows , but the rest of my family doesn’t. I get into yelling matches with my mom over politics all the time.

Communism

Xinjiang is not an open air prison populated mostly by children. It’s not being bombed on a daily basis by a superior military force. It’s mostly populated by farmers that are living a normal farmer life. There isn’t actual genocide happening. People aren’t dying in masses. Pretty much not even close to the same living conditions in Gaza

They’re not though

Yeah, but I support the people and their struggle to not live in an open air prison and am against the genocide being committed so rich settlers can have beach front property in Gaza.

If you lived in an open air prison, you’d listen to whatever radical bullshit you were told that gives you the strength to fight and the hope to escape.

Boring

Oh, no one follows that, silly. In the US people get wrongly convicted regularly. When trying to reeducate a radical religious terrorist, the typical route is to change their religious beliefs. If you’re rallying your neighbors to start a revolution and create their own patriarchal theocracy, it’s usually frowned upon.

Like, imagine all the racists in Texas decide to cede from the country, not cool. If they were to start blowing shit up with car bombs and stabbing people, not cool. Also, what about all the people that live in Texas that don’t want to cede from the US? Not cool.

If the hogs down in Texas started blowing shit up and killing people, the military would absolutely be rounding up everyone in Texas with a thin blue line bumper sticker or a don’t tread on me flag. The prisons would be overflowing with people. This is Xinjiang. Do with this as you like

Lazy argument. Get real.

What’s the same? Government sets laws. People break laws. People go to jail for breaking laws. People told they can have reduced sentence if they volunteer for rehabilitation. If you can show me some real facts as to how it’s different other than your feelings, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. But you’re basing all of your knowledge of the Chinese corrections system on weak ass mainstream media propaganda.

Every terrorist is someone’s freedom fighter. Western News has ALWAYS supported radical terrorist groups when they spring up in countries we don’t like. This isn’t rocket science. If there was genocide in Xinjiang it would be hard to contain. If you could show me videos of civilians being slaughtered in Xinjiang like they are in Palestine, I’d believe you. Until I see the footage though, it’s all bullshit. Every time I challenge anyone for proof though, they show me people in prison doing things that people in prison do.

That’s a dumb comment. I absolutely support Palestinians

That’s an American law. You can’t hold Chinese criminals to American laws. I can play this game too. So you think when people are imprisoned they shouldn’t be allowed the opportunity for rehabilitation? Just prison forever, huh?
