I'm very concerned for all you Taiwanese. I can't believe that the CCP is so blinkered as to think you all want to live under CCP rule. But it's as if they have their eyes shut and their ears stopped up. It's time for Western business to look elsewhere to manufacture everyday goods and to stop feeding the Chinese economy. Like Ukraine we will stand with you, but you will end up paying an awful price for the CCP's belligerence.

Sure hope so

I really appreciate your video, which brings attention to this important topic. As an ex-Taiwanese special force operator, I will fight to my last breath to protect our democratic ways of life and my children. Please remember that we're not just some "remote island". If we fall, the first island chain breaks, and Taiwan strait becomes Chinese controlled. From the east coast of Taiwan, China will then be able to send its nuclear submarines to the Pacific without the US knowing it, and the whole west coast of the US will be under the fire range of their submarines. Japan and Korea may also have to bow to China because most of their energy supplies and trades go through the Taiwan strait. US influences will be significantly weakened, and most likely the US dollar will collapse as a result. If you think carefully, we are more like a gatekeeper of the free world.

The minute the second largest military in the world knows that China's has a large number of its soldiers in the middle of the ocean, what do you think is going to happen? The Indians are going to sit in a corner rubbing themselves? No, they're going to invade China. The Indian Navy will send its navy into to the Indian ocean to halt all oil and gas, and food shipments going to China from the Middle East, and beyond. India doesn't care about the situation between Russia and NATO, but China getting carved up like a cake is non-negotiable. China also has an aging population, and the one-child policy means that there's a lot of men with no children coming from them (they don't have enough women to reproduce with to keep the population over one billion). The Chinese population going to be declining sharply. Whether they invade Taiwan (or assist in Ukraine - a long, long distance from China) or not, the fun times for the Chinese are yet to start.

9:40 is deeply incorrect. PRC is not intending to resume its territory to the height of Qing dynasty. The height of Qing dynasty included many current countries in central Asia like Kazakstan, as well as Mongolia, the outer Manchuria, which is now part of Russia. It's constitution claimed the territorial are is 960 million square kilometers. On the countrary, the ROC (Taiwan) constitution still includes Mongolia, which is 1142 million square kilometers.

Why is the CCP so worried about their "one china bs" when they lost part of Manchuria to Russia? Why don't they start with invading Russia first to get that back?

The only way to keep the One China international policy is: the PCCh is a terrorist organization and should be removed of power in mainland China, then the Kuo Ming Tang is the ONLY democratic political organization in China. Civil organization as Far Lung Gong must be considered under persecution. Also Tibet and Uighur people deserve their own country back, independent and recognized by the International Community and the United Nations Organization.

I have one question: what international law does the PRC break if they engage in war with Taiwan? I mean , the USA broke the principal of independence and sovereignty of UN members by invading Iraq and operating a regime change ; The Russian federation broke the first two principals and also the principal of territorial integrity by invading and annexing Ukraine ; But the People's republic of china , what principle would they violet? Taiwan is officially recognized by only a handful of country , they don't have a seat at the UN , and the vast majority of UN members recognize the PRC , lead by the communist government in Beijing as the "true china" and that Taiwan is only a part of its territory . So what would make china wrong to do that?

Finally a better balance overview on what happens. Because it talks about history.

Man just can't seem to get it together, peace is a beautiful thing.

Excellent piece, however I caught the segment when a PCR representative said that they will become as strong as the United States in the near future while spending less than half on the military each year. interesting

very good summation of the issues - balanced and objective

Suddenly, after the marriage vows are exchanged, one half decides that they do not want to have children. Where's the room to compromise?

If we want NO MORE WAR, why do we still have militaries? In order to have NO MORE WAR, you need to get rid of those existing militaries.

I got my degree in history a few years ago. A course that I had to take is current world history. A big part of that course was U.S. Sino relations. I think we studied them for a month. U.S. China relations are too complicated and nuanced to talk about in a 50 minute video and a KZread comment. If you have a month we will discuss them. I am disabled and have a lot of time on my hands. This video talks about China invading Taiwan as a given inevitability. It may, but it is not a given. China's military is about as corrupt as Russia's. In peacetime this corruption does not really matter. When you go to war it does. Russia has not done well in Ukraine. A lot of this can be chalked up to the corruption which China has a big problem with. Xi has to be thinking about this. To invade Taiwan it will take around a half million troops. China only has the military sealift capacity for about 25,000 troops. Let us say that China can get those half million troops there. It then has to supply those half million troops. Taiwan has a monsoon season that lasts about five of six months in the Spring and about five of six months in the Fall. If Taiwan does not fall within that one month, China has half a million troops in Taiwan that it can't supply. If China invades Taiwan, Japan and Australia will undoubtedly get involved too. Taiwan is only about 60 miles from the southern islands of Japan and Taiwan is critical to Japan strategically. Australia seas China as a giant threat in that region. India and Vietnam both hate China. They might take advantage of a weakened China. To top this off Taiwan might object to being invaded and put up a fight. China might invade Taiwan, but these are all things Xi is probably thinking about.

Ultimately, China's best bet for taking out Taiwan is isolating it. However, that would mean that the main war for Taiwan shall not take place in the Amoy Strait, but in the US House of Representatives. If America will come to Taiwan's defence, then Beijing will simply seek to find ways to lobby, pressure or manipulate American voters into ditching Taiwan. However, the probability of China using Taiwan, to distract the public can't be discounted either. And then there's the question if they will be pushed so deep into a corner that they feel they have no choice but to invade at any cost.

Your assessment is right. Landing troops in Taiwan is not easy nor establishing supplies. Plus single parents in China wont like to see their own child dying because of Xi's ego.

26:00 over the years China keeps on saying that they are weak and should not be afraid of, It's the first time they said that they are Strong. This implies that they are almost ready for military action.

Still here

I love how the Chinese say people in China want reunification, but don't care about the desires of the province they want to reunify with. All dictatorships are the same kill and take what you want regardless of moral and ethical lines.

Of course it cares, but understand the influence of Taiwan current regime, anything related to China is a bad word, anybody who related himself with China is bullied at all level starting from kindergarten. the Chinese soldier who fought ww2 are constantly bullied because they still consider themselves as Chinese. These is no ground for any kind of communication of setup. China fought ww2, just to free its people from colonism and imperialism, and now, those people were taught China as enemy ever since they were born. It is rather sad than ignorance. of course we care.
