Why US will lose a war with China over Taiwan island - Global Times
The thing that got my attention from that article was this:
QuoteBut the Chinese are different. China's history of the whole-of-society commitment to core national security priorities is legendary. The rebellions and unrests in the 19th century cost millions of Chinese lives. Twentieth century Chinese civil war losses ranged between 5 and 8 million, and 360,000 Chinese died in Korea, while routing and humiliating US and UN forces. In each case, the dynasties emerged stronger.
When they're talking about they can "easily" accept losses of millions of their own people, which is what they are saying, I think we should stand up and take notice.
I think the Chinese Communist Party is the biggest threat to the world now since Hitler.
If they sent countless warships close to Taiwan, how would the West respond and for how long would they be able to keep that response alive? It could become hugely expensive for us and deplete our resources in terms of tackling problems elsewhere in the world.
Depends what the warships are doing, doesn't it? If they start shooting at each other, all bets are off.
