China promises ‘heavy price’ for blocking reunification as US, Japan hold drills
China promises ‘heavy price’ for blocking reunification as US, Japan hold drills
Mainland Chinese mission in Tokyo issues the message after Japanese media report this year’s ‘Keen Edge’ exercise features mock Taiwan conflict with Beijing as ‘hypothetical enemy’.
How bout Xi just fuck off and focus on the 1.4 billion people already under his control?
WTF kind of brain worm is possessing all these people to waste so much effort, money, and lives to gain small pieces of land. Absolutely ridiculous state of affairs in 2024. We have enough problems to keep us busy already.
Because Taiwan is a very valuble small peice of land.
Microchip manufacturing facilities there are going to be important in the near future with the worlds increasing dependance on computing power & electronics manufacturing.If Taiwan was just another pocket of rural china then the CCP wouldnt give anywhere much of a shit... but they still probably wouldnt like it "getting away".
The CCP was obsessed with conquering the island long before the first fab was built there. They just didn't have the means to pull it off. They don't have those now either, but enough yes-men must have told Xi otherwise.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, a little more industry moves to Mexico or back into the USA.
China will pay whom?
China always be saying stuff like this. This isn't news worthy
Oh, bother!
Whatever, Xit-head. You keep on whining and we'll keep ignoring.
Given America is likely to vote Trump as the next president, and his extensive ties to China, you'll probably end up selling out the Taiwanese for a lucrative real estate deal for Dear Leader.
Those that like their treason served fresh from Trump's diaper would like that, no doubt.
It's a triple extra secret heavy price this time
Could someone please explain the difference between "(re)unification" and "illegal annection" to the Chinese?
It's colonial language. Basically "reunification" translates into "expanding the central kingdom" - because the CPC wants to expand the central kingdom, i.e China.
They'll pay a very heavy price. How far is the Taiwan strait? If you think D-day is bad you haven't seen anything yet. Many wouldn't even make it to the beach.
Having said that they do have excess males, they'll probably be better off to lose those. Because only the numpty bellends join the armed forces, the ones with more than 2 brain cells have some self preservation. Noone joins the armed forces if you have other prospects in China.
Many people will lose their only child. This cannot be good as many people will protest. However the government has one advantage over other countries.
China isn't as unified as propaganda leave you to believe. Noone gives a shit about anyone other than their immediate family members. You can see this when people get run over and noone helps. Or how they push and do everything to be first in line with no regard for anyone else.
Money is king in China thesedays. They will probably have no issue shaking down or worse their countrymen if they get a bonus or two, all they have to do is import people from the next province or two to do the dirty work.
Not saying it's a smart idea but just saying they could probably contain the blowback of the body bags coming home and lose the most unproductive of society in the process.
We'll see if Xi goes fuck it I wouldn't be around for the consequences when he gets older. He's 70 now, in a decade he will be 80. The average age in China is 78. He probably will beat that as he would have the best health care but beyond that it's not guaranteed. So not much to lose for him.
