Taiwan doesn’t want China to invade, so they buy weapons from the US and other countries, and also have developed domestic missiles to strike at Chinese cities in case of invasion.
Don’t know what to tell you.
If anything Ukraine has hardened the Taiwanese stance, and showed them what an ounce of prevention is worth. I expect the next order of weapons to be even larger, because nobody actually wants another Ukraine.
If you think Taiwan has any chance of doing anything in a war scenario you are out high with copium in the stratosphere and you are becoming delirious, it would be one of the shortest wars of all time. Simply proposing this scenario is a clear indication of how deep rooted the industrial military complex propaganda of the US has invaded people in the first world. Hope the collapse of your empire doesn’t hurt too much on your privileged ego.
Taiwan has at least 1 anti ship missile for every Chinese vessel and 1 anti air missile for every Chinese aircraft, and this just from US-supplied weaponry(I encourage you to read the Wikipedia article above). Taiwan also has hundreds of domestic missiles that can hit as far as Wuhan, and at least 50(and more coming) that can hit Beijing.
You say Taiwan can’t do anything in a war, but this certainly seems like a lot of something. Propaganda or no, things tend to explode when you shoot missiles at them.
That said, certainly China would eventually succeed in invading Taiwan(barring foreign intervention), however China knows the cost of invasion and is not willing to pay it, so Taiwan keeps buying more weapons to ensure the price remains high for China.
Were it not the case, China would have invaded by now.
So instead China is doing slow diplomacy and hoping sentiment in the Taiwanese govt and people trend towards unification.
There was recently a “scholar” who said that sacrificing 10% of the population for the war to unify Taiwan is nothing in the grand scheme of things, and with a bit of education, all the younger generation would agree to fight. News report
You can imagine how well this went behind the Great Firewall lol.
Keep in mind that China has no freedom of speech. You cannot criticize the government nor say anything that would put them in a bad light if it goes public to the west. That’s why the #GreatTranslationMovement was so successful when it first started. So with a person this high profile being able to speak his mind freely, means he likely has some kind of backing by the government, which means they support his stance.
Wow what a wild take. I wonder if that guy took into account the additional losses from potential Indian or Vietnamese advances. Probably others that would like to take some “disputed” land back.
We’ll just wait and see what happens in the next election in Taiwan won’t we. DPP isn’t exactly popular last I checked, and once US loses its puppet regime then the whole gig is up.

Were you born yesterday or something? DPP and KMT alternate the presidency like musical chairs, similar to the republicans vs democrats in the US. At least people in Taiwan can vote lol. That’s more than I can say about their angry neighbour. Sorry to be thriving I guess, I hope one day you’ll get the help you need and finally get over the fact that most Taiwanese people prefer freedom ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Being able to choose between two parties that represent the same group of people is not freedom, is just theatrics so that incredulous people like you can whine when people decide they don’t want to do things as white western people told them to.
I like how you refer to the fact most Taiwanese people want to either retain the current situation or gain further independence as a “gig”. Strong tankie vibes.
I like you pretend to speak for Taiwanese people without having a clue about internal politics of Taiwan and the effect of influence US there via things like NED. 🤡
I’m just telling you what polls of the Taiwanese population are indicating, however you don’t seem at all interested in that, because you’d rather send in the tanks.
The polls of the Taiwanese population are indicating that US backed DPP is crashing while KMT that wants to repatriate is polling high, however you don’t seem at all interested in that, because you’re a shill for the empire.
Check again, genius. Also, here’s a poll stating that the majority of Taiwanese are against the “one China two policy” and are in favor of the status quo, meaning that KMT approval doesn’t necessarily mean supporting repatriating.
I’m sure that Taiwanese people all want to be under CCP’s rule instead, right? After imperialist Japanese colonisation, KMT dictatorship, and the fight for democracy, surely the majority would want to give that all up in exchange for dictatorship. That makes so much sense!
KMT started dialog officially repatriating in 2014 when US decided to run the sunflower movement that put DPP in place. DPP is currently crashing in the polls, and everybody expects KMT to get back in power at which point dialog will restart. KMT politicians have already flown to the mainland ahead of that. If you think people in Taiwan are stupid enough to let the west turn Taiwan into another Ukraine, then what else is there to tell you.
Meanwhile, not sure what this dictatorship you’re yapping about is. Given that you don’t even know what political system China has, your opinions on the subject of Taiwan can be safely discarded.
Lol. I guess being Taiwanese and reading first hand news and social media posts straight from China makes me less educated than you on the subject. There are multipleYouTubechannels by Chinese people who had fled from China talking about their experiences with life under the CCP. Few also even have Chinese police force pressure their families back home to threaten them to come back to China. So I am very well aware of what China is and what they impose on their people. Safe to say that your opinion on Chinese politics can be disregarded.
And I don’t even know where you got your poll data, cause KMT isn’t even looking remotely good in the polls. This is a news site generally regarded as having a more Chinese bias, and even they were reporting that the DPP is winning in polls, not to mention it’s also KMT’s SECOND time nominating a mayor who is still in term to run for presidency. The last one lost against DPP and had his mayor title recalled by vote mind you. This time around it’s Ko who is in better position to compete with the DPP. You know who also got invited and flew to China? Ko’s team. So you saying everyone expects KMT to have a comeback is just talking out of your ass.
Turn Taiwan into another Ukraine as if it’s the fault of the US that Russia invaded them (and by extension would be the fault of the US if China invaded Taiwan)? What a strange position to have…
It’s pretty incredible to see that grown ass adults can’t understand the root causes that created the conditions for the war in Ukraine. It’s not like countless western academics and politicians have warned for decades that NATO expansion east would eventually lead to a war or anything.
Just part of the dance. We’ll sell Taiwan another couple billion dollars of weaponry on schedule as always.
Of course, Americans would love to turn Taiwan into another Ukraine, but I doubt you’ll get your ghoulish wish in the end.

You are so wise.
I see you haven’t been following recent developments in politics in Taiwan. I recommend catching up.
I like how you refer to the fact most Taiwanese people want to either retain the current situation or gain further independence as a “gig”. Strong tankie vibes.
I mean, just go look at everyone of his posts, comments, and profile pic. Definite tankie

Also, I don’t understand why you would call the US an empire, while also shilling for the actual emperor who is now serving his third term, which btw was originally against their own constitution.
