Date: May 13th, 2024 9:37 AM Author: Cruel-hearted mahogany parlour pocket flask A land invasion of Taiwan would be difficult. Mountainous terrain and armed to the teeth. China would have to absorb WW2 Pacific/D-Day/Sicily style casualties, unless they blockade and/or bomb it to hell. That would cause massive international condemnation, which China would like to avoid since they like to portray themselves as peaceful, non-imperialist etc. Though maybe they’ve reached the point where they don’t care about international disapproval, in which case goodbye Taiwan.

Date: May 13th, 2024 2:01 PM Author: heady know-it-all set The fact that China hasn't even bothered seizing these islands on some pretext in the past 60 years, imo, indicates that their odds of invading Taiwan itself are a lot lower than estimated by war hawks.

the entire "dynamic" is pretend kabuki theater that enriches the politicians, militaries, and weapons manufacturers associated with all parties involved |
