US military will defend Taiwan - the White House responded with a 'Yes'. I believe Binden also said 'Yes'. So now the question is - will China double down and show some balls? Or will China simply blink? I guess you could say it's all up to Xi Jinping now. With this said the US should send more weapons to the island - some heavy-duty top of the line equipment.

Heavy duty equipment won't be as effective as a deterrent as asymmetric warfare equipment which Taiwan is woefully under-equipped with.Originally posted by My Wife Hates CIV View Post -
Hasn't the US always been saying they would defend Taiwan, like for years now.. The whole Ukrainian thing suddenly made them remember this?Comment

I don't think China will invade Taiwan. Too disruptive to their economy. They like making money it seems to me.Comment

Why invade something you already own?There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

Taiwan’s government says that the Republic of China, the island’s formal name, is a sovereign country and that no matter what China says it can not change that fact.Originally posted by Uncle Sparky View Post

As you know, Taiwan has 2 main political parties: one pro China, one pro-American. As you know these parties have less love for each other than the Dems & GOP, with actual fistfights on the floor of their legislature. I'm sure you also know much of the economy of Taiwan is owned by Chinese companies.
China owns a great deal of the Taiwanese economy and the pro-China party usually has about half the seats. So, obviously 'own' was the wrong word: I should have said, 'Why attack what you already control'.

but china will do nothing - at least not in the next couple of years. it would be a major move on chinas part to try and take the island. you will see the buildup happen months before. at least months before. the threats will continue - thats all the leadership in china has to do - for now.MYWIFEHATESCIV
