Hopefully China will learn from Russia's mistakes in Ukraine. Invading Taiwan is a fool's errand, China would never win such a war, even if Taiwan were to fight alone.

The 1st New World Order was the dutch hegemony! The 2nd New World Order was the Great Britain empire! The of course we are living in 3rd New World Order of the Great USA! But like it or not, US empire is coming to an end! And US can blame itself for it! It's self inflicting disaster of their own making!
I mean, who was the dumbass who admitted China into WTO! Which saw China rising so rapidly that in less that 30 years, China turn into superpower! US shift it's jobs to China! Shift it's innovations to China! Thinking China will turn into another democrazy nation like US!
Now we are entering into 4th New World Order! And with vision of well planned 100 years ahead, how can you stop CCP from dominating the world! Unless of course something happen within CCP itself, that's totally different story!
All telltale sign are clear as the sun! US overspended on global interfering! US debts are in 30 trillions! They can't pay and they won't pay! The only thing they can do is escape the responsiblity by creating WW3!
No doubt WW3 will happen! And this round, it's over Taiwan! I mean, come on! You really think US cares about Taiwan! US is more than happy see totally destruction of Taiwan as long as US emerge victorious in WW3 with China!

With the US dollar hegemony, the US can just print money to pay back its debt. Even China is so confident in the US economy, thay they put trillions of dollars of chinese tax payers money in buying US government debt.

As for Taiwan, it's the country supplying the advance microchips that's used in US military. To let China takeover Taiwan is to let the CCP have the power to essentially cripple the US military. Everyone knows how kiasu the americans are with their security, so they would never let the China win a war against Taiwan.

China needs at least 20 years of peaceful economic development and advancement in military whereby their GDP and militarily will exceed that of USA & allies.

China will not use military on Taiwan except when Taiwan declares independent or develop nuclear bombs.

The US is basically bankrupt but since they want to keep US economy and share market, to avoid bubble, they need to harvest US$ money back to US mainland by increasing interest rate. The US knows pure financial strategy not enough to motivate money flow back to US, so they play Ukraine and Taiwan cards.

The US now begins to harvest India and make India to borrow money from IMF and so that they able to control India FINANCIALLY & POLITICALLY. India is best bet to make trouble with China

Taiwan president already said there's no need to declare independence, because Taiwan is already independent. If you know your history, you'd know that that the PRC has never had jurisdiction over Taiwan.

Do US or UN recognised Taiwan as sovereign state?
You can read the below three US- China Communiques for the answer.

THE THREE U.S.-CHINA COMMUNIQUEs:



SHANGHAI, 1972

“THE U.S. SIDE DECLARED: THE U.S. ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL CHINESE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TAIWAN STRAIT MAINTAIN THERE IS BUT ONE CHINA AND THAT TAIWAN IS A PART OF CHINA. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DOES NOT CHALLENGE THIS POSITION. IT REAFFIRMS ITS INTEREST IN A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT OF THE TAIWAN QUESTION BY THE CHINESE THEMSELVES. WITH THIS PROSPECT IN MIND, IT AFFIRMS THE ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE OF THE WITHDRAWAL OF ALL U.S. FORCES AND MILITARY INSTALLATIONS FROM TAIWAN….”



ON ESTABLISHING DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS, JANUARY 1, 1979

BOTH COUNTRIES AGREE THAT “NEITHER SHOULD SEEK HEGEMONY IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION OR IN ANY OTHER REGION OF THE WORLD AND EACH IS OPPOSED TO EFFORTS BY ANY OTHER COUNTRY OR GROUP OF COUNTRIES TO ESTABLISH SUCH HEGEMONY . . . .THE GOVERNMENT OF THE USA ACKNOWLEDGES THE CHINESE POSITION THAT THERE IS BUT ONE CHINA AND TAIWAN IS PART OF CHINA.”



COMMUNIQUE OF AUGUST 17, 1982

“THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ATTACHES GREAT IMPORTANCE TO ITS RELATIONS WITH CHINA, AND REITERATES THAT IT HAS NO INTENTION OF INFRINGING ON CHINESE SOVEREIGNTY AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY, OR INTERFERING IN CHINA’S INTERNAL AFFAIRS, OR PURSUING A POLICY OF ‘TWO CHINAS’ OR ‘ONE CHINA, ONE TAIWAN.’ . . . THE U.S. GOVERNMENT STATES THAT IT DOES NOT SEEK TO CARRY OUT A LONG-TERM POLICY OF ARMS SALES TO TAIWAN, THAT ITS ARMS SALES TO TAIWAN WILL NOT EXCEED, EITHER IN QUALITATIVE OR IN QUANTITATIVE TERMS, THE LEVEL OF THOSE SUPPLIES IN RECENT YEARS . . . , AND THAT IT INTENDS TO REDUCE GRADUALLY ITS SALES OF AMRS TO TAIWAN, LEADING OVER A PERIOD OF TIME TO A FINAL RESOLUTION.”

Sslee, seems like you are not aware of the term "strategic ambiguity" in relation to the US/UN one China policy. Even CCP mouth piece, Global Times, once angrily mentioned that the US/UN one china policy was intentionally filled with holes to make sure that China's legal claim over Taiwan is not solid.

XD. Of all the evidence you could give, you chose to give an "opinion piece" from a chinese language teacher to support your argument ahhahaha.

Look at the EIU democracy index lah, Taiwan is ranked 8th most democratic country in the world where civil liberties and fundamental political freedoms are not only respected but also reinforced by a political culture conducive to the thriving of democratic principles. Canada also lose oh, ranked 12 only in 2021.

If Taiwanese do not like Tsai, they can always vote her out. So how can you call dictatorship lmao.

Look at the PRC lah, they read your personal text messages. Post something on weibo criticizing the government, kena censor. With zero covid strategy, they chained and lock people's door without permission to prevent people from going out. That lah dictatorship.

For you to talk about suppressing dissent and point finger at one of the most democratic country in the world (Taiwan), but conveniently ignore the communist autocracy that is the PRC, malu lah other ethnic chinese. No common sense at all
