U.S. fears China attack on Taiwan

An invasion of Taiwan would force the U.S. to decide whether to go to war with China to defend an implicit ally.

The Biden administration has concluded that China "is flirting with the idea of seizing control of Taiwan as President Xi Jinping becomes more willing to take risks to boost his legacy," the Financial Times reports.
Why it matters: An invasion of Taiwan, the self-governed island claimed by Beijing, would force the U.S. to decide whether to go to war with China to defend an implicit ally.

• The recent conclusion by the Biden administration is based on Chinese behavior during the past two months a senior U.S. official told FT.
• After a show of force by Chinese bombers off Taiwan just after President Biden took office, the State Department said: "We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan."

Adm. John Aquilino, nominee to head U.S. forces in the Pacific, warned the Senate Armed Services Committee this week that the threat to Taiwan "is much closer to us than most think," CNN reported.

• China views taking control of Taiwan as "their No. 1 priority," Aquilino said.

Adm. Philip Davidson, current head of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, testified earlier this month that the Chinese military is building up offensive capability, making the threat to Taiwan "manifest during this decade — in fact, in the next six years."

Kashmir, Crimea, Taiwan, Karabakh etc etc.

I think world order is now changing where powers can now go back to old ways of war and annexation. Before West always maintained it's own idea of "order".

 

[Whizzack]

Seems like it's the that US that is more worried of such possibility rather than Taiwan itself...

 

[bshifter]

These US Admirals have been saying this all along "we are sheeeeting in our pants". The RAND corporation has already revealed that all simulations fighting China in the SCS or the Taiwan scenario the US always lose.

Do folks ever wonder why USA did not retaliated against Japan immediately after its sneak attack on Pearl Harbout?

Why did USA only choose to participate in last moment in 1945 after Japan has almost lost most of its battles inside China or when it was almost over?

The A-bombs were never needed as Japan had already voiced its intengion to surrender to Stalin Russia.
So in fact USA had committed warcrimes in targeting civilian population.
it was genocidal act by USA.

But in the case of Taiwan, it will be all over before USA can even blink its eye.

A US expeditionary forces to rescue Taiwan?

Dream on.

In stoking war in the region, the objective of USA was not a direct confrontation with China where she can never win today.

USA has other objectives but for China, its mission will be completed with the reunification of Taiwan.

Now you just discovered why TSMC is targetted by USA.

Forcing them to build a plant in Texas is step one.

Americans failed in their history. What do theh knlw about Asian histories? That is why they are miscalculating one after another.

TSMC was in fact started by industrialists who came to Taiwan with General Chiang KS from Shanghai, China.

There are many pro-China and anti-USA protests in Taiwan but why are they never reported in the West.

Just like the recent lunar rock collecting mission by China, it was the greatest event in 50 years but Western News Media hardly reported it.

Be smart when reading news nowadays.

Is some dark evil force at work in the world today?

US only wants to increase military presence in South China sea, we know how it all works, i doubt China has any plans to invade Taiwan in near future.

Yep. We are definitely entering a very multi polar and chaotic world. Will be a scary ride.

Especially the part where the Quad will start the amphibious invasion of China, I just hope that the Quad neutralize China nuclear football first.

American public won't tolerate millions of American service men and women dying on Chinese mainland. Not even Japan was able to take Chinese mainland in the 1930s and 1940s.

Wow you have so many facts wrong...
Without US support western europe would be in Germans control and it was US that defeated Japan while other allied forces in the region barely held up against Japs.... but yes, US should have not dropped A bombs... i guess it was nothing but a declaration to the world that US is the new world's daddy.

That is a US and a hollywood version.

Can't blame your generation. You grew up being feed with fake news.

The real accounts will shocked many of you.

So how many US soldiers were engaged and killed inside China, the main battle ground?

 

[CAPRICORN-88]

Naturally China would perfers a peaceful solution to eventual reunification.

If USA did not interfere with China civil war back in 1949 by sending their Aircraft Carrier fleet to block the Red Peasant Army Fr crossing to Taiwan in the Strait of Taiwan, Taiwanese Chinese would be very patriotic Chinese citizens just like folks in Hainan Island today.

China today will never allowed Taiwan to be used a launchpad against the mainland by USA.

But is US soldiers prepared to die for the old men in Washington?
Seriously I think NOT.

i knew many people in Taiwan including the military are not and so there may be coup d'etat staged by the military against Tsai Wen Ling DPP government if or when it happens. Who knows?

America will pay dearly for its actions.

WWII was not just fought in main land China. It was fought in europe africa and Pacific and Asia.... air land and sea.
The only reason why china was able to defeat Japan was because Japan had to pitch its main resource against US in the Pacific. US defeated japan in air land and sea.... China mostly fought against japs on land and had US not interviend in Asia and Pacific then China would not be able to defeat Japs....

 

[CAPRICORN-88]

USA is already beginning to feel the heat.

China has accelerated the process right after the Alaska encounter. Now they fully understand US stance in their relationship.

Is it coincidental that Russia's FM Sergei Lavrov suddenly flew to Beijing to meet China's FM Wang Yi immediately after Alaska Meeting? China agreeding to sign a 25 year economic deals with Iran.

i won't reveal what I think it is or let the cat out of the bag based on my own analysis but very soon all of us will know about it.

That is why Biden is sending Antony Blinkens flurrying all over places and started attacking China. Don't you think USA is suddenly acting rather wierd nowadays.

This is the reaction of a man who is panicking. Many black swans will be appearing soon at US doorsteps all of a sudden.

And the best thing is: China has never intended to fire even a bullet to win this one.
