Beijing is prepared to take military action to prevent any attempt to separate Taiwan from the mainland, Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe has said.
According to Reuters and other news agencies, Wei also said on Thursday: “The Taiwan issue is related to China’s sovereignty and touches upon China’s core interests … on this issue, it is extremely dangerous to challenge China’s bottom line.”
That line would be if Taiwan, now known officially as the Republic of China, declared itself as the Republic of Taiwan.
Beijing’s relations with Taipei have been particularly strained since the island’s president, Tsai Ing-wen of the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, came to power in 2016.
Wei’s warning came three days after the United States sent two warships through the Taiwan Strait, the latest of gestures made by Washington in support of Taiwan, a democracy with an elected legislature and government.
Wei also touched on the situation in the South China Sea, where China’s claims are disputed by several neighboring countries. Wei said China opposes displays of strength and “provocations” from countries outside the region under the “pretense” of protecting freedom of flight and navigation.
The US routinely sends warships and military aircraft to the South China Sea to protect what it calls freedom of navigation in international waters.
If China were to try to take over Taiwan, it is likely, according to some sinologists, to be in 2021, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Communist Party of China.

***Chinese Ladies***

Hehe!
Yashy, you know what we call Chinese Ladies that goes for BIG BIG GUN? For your information, we call them Agent 0069xxxs’. Plenty them around. Too bad you don’t have quality agents in your world as we do. Sad. You’ll simply just have to put up with that dried up prune or that massive over-fertilized oversized yam or sweet potato, whichever it is you are stuck with.

As the reality of life under Chinese Government becomes more and more frightening, opposition to secession in Taiwan will dwindle away. If outside powers intervene, it will be at the bequest of the legitimate government of Taiwan. The most prominent thing to keep in mind. It will be a coalition of the few, of the willing attempting, to help a small peaceful nation enjoy liberty for just a little bit longer. The first thing covered in Sun Tzu’s Art of War is the importance of walking the moral high ground, something China seemingly abandoned awhile ago. Next will come the haters that will throw mud and muck at the United States as no beacon of liberty nor enlightenment. We are not perfect. A long time ago a high bar was set. And time and time again we have failed to meet our own standards. But some of us, well we never stop trying to hit that high mark. I should point out that I am free to say so, and acknowledge those who take issue with us. Their criticisms show us where we need to improve ourselves. Also, China’s manufacturing is crap. I havent found anything really, made in China, that wasnt junk. Further, you’ll find that the United States has a really under appreciated asset. Fortunate or not we have a surplus of veterans. Lots and lots of them. Experienced at fighting wars, winning these wars. Real wars with complex battlefronts, not border skirmishes. Long wars. I hope that Taiwan can keep their freedom, and no blood is shed in the process. Pray for peace.

Jason Jean creepy ? sums up the PLA and Xi’s social credit system.
They didnt disagree, because they didnt want to let him know that we know how small your weapons are, and that China will be crushed, after all we have the Japs on our side and they certainly know how to crush China.

Jason Jean The Communists lie to you. In 2003 Libya allowed the UN to inspect their facilities and monitor anything that could ‘potentially’ make WMD. That is not the same as having nucs.
No state has developed nucs and then given them up, it’s like giving up the knowledge of making the wheel, once you do it you’d have to have a lobotomy to not be able to do it again.
A lobotomy, or join the CCP. Same thing.

Yashad Rizvi Libya did actually have nukes. The U.S. convinced them to give them up and then invaded them a few years later. Seriously, look it up. This is the main reason given why North Korea doesn’t want to give up their nukes.

Yashad Rizvi the creepy thing was when a former PLA general said that it would take China three days to conquer Taiwan completely and no international experts disagreed with him.
