No American intervention if Taiwan is invaded

Mr Lee Kuan Yew believes that in the event of Chinese military action being taken against Taiwan, the Americans would not intervene. He explains his rationale.

    People say Deng Xiaoping was the reason behind the rise of China. What People don’t realize is that it was actually Lee Kuan Yew that led Deng Xiaoping after visiting Singapore for China to open their special economic zones that ultimately led to the rise of the Chinese economy and China to open up to the world. In some sense, China found someone to lead them to prosperity... and it was Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore.

    Yes he was. But we are talking past tense here. Most of his predictions of the world events did not turn out to be true. The world events are what they are, not what they are supposed to be. Perhaps it would have been better for him if China expand its influences to his doorsteps.

Are you hurt the progress made under Lee from the 50s shows how nothing has changed in yours? Are you hurt this man is considered one of the greatest statesmen that ever lived while your politicians wags their tail to every corporate who offers them money and will shit on you after? Are you hurt this man has rightly predicted the future geopolitics of the world while your leaders don’t have the vision to look 5 years ahead after their own term?

Then I realized this is so different from Nation Building to truly build n harmonize the country towards growth. If LKY had been Malaysia, a country rich with resources, Malaysia would be the richest nation per Capita. There's no comparison between LKY n Dr M. History will make it even clearer that Dr M is really not worth LKY's hair.

    He is sharp. Taiwan is merely an arm away from the mainland, and such geographical distance can never be shortened or lengthened. China may be defeated by the US-led forces the first time, a second time, even a third time. But China will never amend its constitutional claim over Taiwan. Sooner or later, a fourth time will come when USA loses its interest and zeal, and decides to quit and let it be. The most powerful thing in the world is the will power, not to mention with a size like China.

    The idea that Deng opened the economy after visiting S'pore and the rest is history (i.e. economic growth) is not correct. After the collapse of the Cultural Revolution and Mao's death, Deng visited many countries (especially in 1978) to learn how to craft a new model. In the end, it was a bottom-up model based on marginal market adjustments, including the breaking up of communes, freeing of certain prices, small enterprises, and reform of SOEs. It was not successful; the high youth unemployment and inflation ended in the Tiananmen Square protests by students and disgruntled workers. Hence, from 1978-89, it was a false start, although it set the road to reform.

If t thousands of Americans are killed over this place, whose independence means nothing to them, there will be a political firestorm. Same goes for the South China sea. My son/daughter died for "freedom of navigation" on the other side of the world????? If casualties are such that the government tries to re-start the draft, there will be a rebellion. The US weakness is personnel, just like Israel. All the glittering tech means little if the stuff is under=staffed. Especially after the Afghan fiasco, and the upcoming withdrawal from Iraq, the American public is done with this kind of nonsense. As long as Taiwan produces most of the world's semiconductors, it is safe from invasion,. Once China fixes that, all bets are off.

    Americans fought in world war 2 in europe for what? To allow russia to control poland slovakia romania a good part of germany latvia etc. What was america doing in europe in world war one? So yes americans will fight for freedom of navigation and to keep Taiwan free.CHINA IS THE MOST DIABOLICAL NATION EVER!! 1 MILLION UIGUR MUSLIMS IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS.....ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF TIBET AND MONGOLIA, ....PEOPLE BY THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS PUT IN PRISON FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT AND WHEN KLLED THEIR BODY PARTS AND ORGANS SOLD. TAKING SEAS THAT DONT BELONG TO THEM LIKE IN PHILIPPINES AND A TOTAL ORWELLIAN POLICE STATE.....AND YOU SAY AMERICANS WONT FIGHT? WE MUST....IT WILL BE THE GREATEST AMERICAN TRIUMPH EVER TO DEFEAT THE CHINESE IMPERIALIST IN THE AIR LAND AND SEA.
