The Emperor never intended to take care of the Chinese people, only the People's Party. That is what sets a dictatorship, especially a communist dictatorship, apart from other kinds of leadership.
I've always personally understood that the CCP wanting to annex Taiwan was more based on the fact that those who fled there way back, did so in escaping the CCP and remain outside of their control. It's more of a personal stain on the CCP ego than anything else. It's also an issue for them if there's ever a revolt in China in the possibility of using Taiwan as a beacon against the CCP not being as great as they force their people to believe.
It used to be that, but now it's more of getting control of the Pacific shipping lines & the world's semiconductor industry. The stain thing is just a bonus.
@@robmyers8948 technically the US has been doing that for a while now since it seems China is also eyeing Japan, India, and the Philippines which also have had US military presence around those regions for a long time. In fact for a while during the 80s and 90s Taiwan was a huge source of US manufacturing for many items including toys. Which back then China had also been heavily disgruntled with Taiwan not being a part of China.
Not that important. More in US since China established in 1949. CIA started sponser those time even cults 75 years ago. UN and 180major countries agree Taiwan is part of China. All leaders before lai in 520 this year don’t mention this to maintain peace. After lai became leader of Taiwan ROC, he kept provoking unlike former leaders. If China do not show the muscle, all Chinese, UN and world leader will consider CCP idiot? Don’t listen to this idiot expert.
Freedom? What freedom, they are US puppets now and will be the battle ground for Americans war on China. Leaders are so dumb. I lived in Taiwan for a year, they have a great mix of culture, negotiate with China, they also don’t want war.
@@robmyers8948ate you trying to compare freedoms and election procedures between the US and China? What a clown move. You should deactivate , everyone knows a CCP bot when they see one.
PRC never had sovereignty over Taiwan since 1949, and prior to that, it was and still is the ROC government which has sovereignty over Taiwan. So, there is no reunification to speak of, only invasion.
I think the timeline acceleration comes from the looming economic pressure on China (manufacturing moving elsewhere) and their military growth reaching a capacity where they can pull off an invasion of Taiwan. I think it’s likely we’ll see a blockade later this summer or fall.
What's going to happen to the computer industry in Taiwan after a total destruction of the island. Remember their the main supplier of chips (memory and processors).
@@goosecouple Democracy lessons from Xi Jin Ping Thought! Interesting. I think goose is suffering from limited exposure because of the Great Internet Firewall.
The Emperor has some issues within the military. Is a war over Taiwan going to fix those issues, or just resolve them in some fashion? Maybe the Emperor just wants it resoved.
It seems to me xi doesn’t want to wait if Trump gets into the White House. If Trump wins the presidency, my prediction is xi will try to take Taiwan before January 20 (or whenever the transition occurs).
You said China has benefited from the economic development that occurred in Taiwan. How has it benefited? How is it able to benefit from an economy that is not a Chinese economy?
Don't doubt this guy has knowledge, but he has ties to defense industry. I'm sorry if I have to take anything he talks about anything that could make the defense industry money with a massive grain of salt.
Did you miss the part where he very specifically said that the US does NOT have to waste a trillion dollars to deter China from invading? Not to mention the Chinese people would literally be better off being run by the American defense industry than the CCP.
@@teacopem They are saying of course we knew that Russia was planning on invading Ukraine for the last decade, we just decided to let them do it because you should not get in your enemies way when they are making mistakes. Just like we are absolutely going to trick China into invading Taiwan for the same reasons.
im just curious why cant taiwan be invaded or bombed or occupied? what makes taiwan so special and any different from all the other countries US has invaded and bombed in the last 20,30 odd years i mean lets not go all the way back 80 years to the end of wwii.... why is it ok for iraq or afganistan or syria or yemen or libya or yemen or the recent fiasco in gaza or sudan or pakistan or lebanon or bosnia or somalia or kuwait (all countries were invaded and bombed after 1990).....killing about 4.5 million people and causing the suffering of hundreds of millions possibly even a billion..... why does USA care so much more about 20 million chinese in taiwan but not the 1.4 billion.... actually im curious what makes USA determine that hundreds of million of lives disposable and ok to sacrifice but not others?and dozens of countries ruined? it depends on whether it suits her foreign policy and global agenda or geopolitical goals? is it so bad if China just invades one country?when us has done so to so many countries in the last 20,30 years alone.....especially China isnt invading anyone else, just herself....China is invading China, after all both of them consider themselves CHina and calling taiwan the real china is like calling florida the real USA. really lol.
“you lot”? The only way this makes sense is if you meant to type Chinese communists. If it’s so bad in the West (re: US) why do Chinese elites stash their cash & send their kids to college there? And why did Xi make it hard for other elites to move their $$ out of China?
Only an armada of US F-22 and F-35 could save Taiwan . Nothing else. First of all the distance between mainland China and Taiwan is not that much. So the US and Taiwan would not have the leverage of fighting at a distance. Secondly, the way US is bogged down with being a world police force, it cannot use all it's naval capabilities to stop China. Sadly if the armada does come up then a lot of innocent Chinese live would be lost. Even in that scenario it's hard to think the US would win. If China mobilizes fully US would not win. But an alliance with India could mitigate the weight for US(Cause Pakistan won't get involved anyway). It would give them time to think. All in all, if China wants to take Taiwan, the ball is in China's corner.
Add in Japan to your thinking as they would be in the fight since they'd be severely impacted if Taiwan fell and China blocked the supply routes they use for goods from S.E. Asia and the Middle East. And the countries surrounding the South China Sea that could make life miserable by cutting off oil and food going to China. And don't forget the missile submarines lurking somewhere in the western Pacific. Big decision for Xi.
You forget that the d day landings had to have so much deception and cloak and dagger because if the German knew where the Allie’s would strike and stopped the d day landings the Allie’s would have to wait atleast a year to gather the resources to try again. Not to mention the seas around the channel are rough. Taiwan is atleast double that with possible landing points being extremely few and far between. The cost of taking Taiwan is in the millions of lives easy.
China can’t use all its naval capabilities. The modern PLA in action in 2016, Juba. S. Sudan. As UN Peace Keepers. Not exactly a shining example of Chinese military strength. More like showing the world how cowardly they are. In video games & propaganda movies..the PLA presents itself as full of unstoppable wolf warriors, IRL full of real meat & metal…Chinas wumao and keyboard warriors become tofu dreg dragons.

Xi should take care of the chinese people and forget about the free country of Taiwan

The Emperor never intended to take care of the Chinese people, only the People's Party. That is what sets a dictatorship, especially a communist dictatorship, apart from other kinds of leadership.
American idiot experts always pretend they understand Taiwan strait after studying some Chinese pronouciation.
Idiots!

They are just now realizing they have 1500 years of shame behind them, not 100...

PRC never had sovereignty over Taiwan since 1949, and prior to that, it was and still is the ROC government which has sovereignty over Taiwan. So, there is no reunification to speak of, only invasion.
It's only "reunification" if people agree with the mainland party.
Prior to that it was Japanese. Prior to that it was the Qing.
Let's all further help the Chinese out by reducing any Made-in-China purchases whenever humanly possible.
Xinny the Pooh wants to be the one to seize Taiwan.
He set himself "president for life" to do so.
To him it'll be sweeter than a Smackerel of honey😂
Merci!
Maybe he should worry about his own people uprising because of conditions
Remember Taiwan is an independent country!
Go👇
Question is if China is ready to face the NATO and allies with their greenhorns.
Wait, I thought NATO was the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Why's NATO expanding to the pacific?
Following in the footsteps of 1930s Germany.
I think the timeline acceleration comes from the looming economic pressure on China (manufacturing moving elsewhere) and their military growth reaching a capacity where they can pull off an invasion of Taiwan.
I think it’s likely we’ll see a blockade later this summer or fall.
This is it.
Better be too early than too late, there is wisdom in that.
What's going to happen to the computer industry in Taiwan after a total destruction of the island. Remember their the main supplier of chips (memory and processors).
The Taiwanese semiconductor companies are prepared to destroy their factories in case of defeat iirc
We suffer a 5 year "Dark Age" while a complete set of chip foundries are replicated elsewhere in the West.
I think we should move this industry to Okinawa. We can not allow China to get this technology. Moving is better than destroying.
The very high end and very low end chips will be hard to get. Medium chips are fine as the USA makes those.
Out of promises... no choice when he kept on saying the invasion plan. Winnie the pooh loses its honey
What happened to Hong Kong now?
Can someone cite me a source to where he says he wants to end the status quo between the mainland and TW?
I would also like to end the status quo
"Thanks to democracy, the Majority chose to stay in China with Mao; and the Minority fled to Taiwan with Chiang."
Half a billion rural peasants, had as much choice, as their farm animals.

There is no historical justification to china’s claim over Tibet, Taiwan, uyghurstan, and mongolia
Other country should deal with their own business and stop meddling in our country's business.
Taiwan is good country
🐼
….and where is Xi now?
The Emperor has some issues within the military. Is a war over Taiwan going to fix those issues, or just resolve them in some fashion? Maybe the Emperor just wants it resoved.
What is the Irate Gamer doing as a political analyst now?
CCP can't bare to see free Chinese citizens with free elections and a voice and a happy life !
It seems to me xi doesn’t want to wait if Trump gets into the White House. If Trump wins the presidency, my prediction is xi will try to take Taiwan before January 20 (or whenever the transition occurs).
Ttl < 12 months for Xi.
You said China has benefited from the economic development that occurred in Taiwan. How has it benefited? How is it able to benefit from an economy that is not a Chinese economy?
Ur asking how a country can benefit when a neighboring country has a healthy economy?
Don't doubt this guy has knowledge, but he has ties to defense industry. I'm sorry if I have to take anything he talks about anything that could make the defense industry money with a massive grain of salt.
