Yes of course government officials with 0 training or physical fitness let Soldiers who have trained for decades do their job which they enlisted for
just want to point out that during WW2, the Japanese didn't launch the attack on Pearl Harbor from Taiwan. The Japanese carriers departed from Kuril Islands, now ruled by the Russians. The Japanese did launch the attack on the Philippines from Taiwan.
Yeah Hitokappu bay in kurile island
whatever
Haha
The attack code happens to be related to Taiwan.
apparently this guy just wanna talk whatever he wants:)
«It’s an unsinkable aircraft carrier»
Also known as… a regular Airfield?
Um, its about double the size of Wales Bro
Taiwan was not used to launch the Pearl Harbour attack, Japan launched the attack from the Kuril Islands in 1941.
Yes, but that would not fit the narrative of that military guy. He wants to portray Taiwan as an island where cruel dictatorships (then Japan, now China) start their attacks on innocent little puppies on a beach in Pearl Harbour. Therefore China must not ever get a hold on Taiwan (to attack Pearl Harbour).
th-cam.com/video/g1-g9j255z8/w-d-xo.html
Taiwan was a part of Japan.
at the same time, planes departed from Taiwan to attack US base in Clark ( Luzon, Philippine), Philippine was a US colony
America saved a lot of Chinese and Russian people during WWll.
Imagine adding land mass to those little islands.
That is what Republic of China ( Taiwan) leaders did before 1980s. They wanted to take back mainland China from CCP government after they were kicked out from mainland China to Taiwan island in 1949 during decade-long civil war.
Taiwan (=republic of china) will be the same fate as South Vietnam in the past. I am South Korean, interestingly, in South Korea, South Vietnam was called Free Vietnam and Taiwan was called Free China.
objective and professional analysis
This global economy seems to be working out great.
They expand it and make it more expensive so we won't own are body parts.
It was until someone started being belligerent, starting trade war CHINA and threatening to dissolve NATO. Talking about using nukes in conflicts. Almost like a middle school bully who knows not a damn thing about the subtle historic and military balances. "Trade war is easy". Genius, bigly genius.

He concludes: ‘I see no reason the balance is interrupted’ ….. right, he and all the other experts said exactly the same on Ukraine situation 10+ months ago.
That’s all they care. They don’t care about Taiwanese at all
Well said.
China is not USA or Russia..they dont go to war that easily..China is much more wise then USA and RUssia..how many wars and attacks in last 100 years were by USA and RUssia and how many by China..i thing for first 2 its hard to even count while China is 0
@@annan7728 totally agree. Taiwan belongs to China but not to CCP. When China is no longer ruled by CCP, Taiwan will automatically reunite with China.
@@annan7728 But Taiwan had it's own indigenous population. They should form a federation instead.
China should get out of Tibet though.

My guess there is another aspect not discussed in this video - China has proven itself to be very smart about their long term strategies. Therefore, unlike Russia, it probably acknowledges that war would destroy so much valuable assets, businesses and technological developments cultivated for decades in Taiwan. War would basically make that island useless from economical perspective, making in addition tens of millions hostile citizens living there.
i agree, always treat the enemy seriously or else
@Dord Dord There are only 23,000,000 people in Taiwan.
destroying taiwan means denying their chipsets to the west, in addition to finally ending chinese civil war. they'd do it.
@@peterroycroft6433 so tens of millions lol
@@peterroycroft6433 thanks for the figure,
Well said
Well explained .... 👍
Such news break my heart, political tension between countries in the past have overly been seen to escalate into sheer devastation. A case seen in the pre ukraine-Russia war period. May peace prevail
These are all provocations of well-known countries, now they are unleashing a military conflict in Serbia and Kosovo, there are shelling in Syria, Romania is being set up against Transnistria, China. In Ukraine, thousands of Russians have died in the Donbas for 8 years, no one shouted stop the genocide and freedom and independence of the Donbass, on the contrary, they supply weapons to Ukraine, show everyone and say that they are defending, but in fact they know perfectly well that they continue to use against civilians in Ukraine
Taiwan is never a country . not even America ever say Taiwan is independent.
Agreed... What are they fighting for?? Let people live in Peace. War for resources and money is a tell sign of a primitive civilization who is not wise enough to grow together in peace and harmony.
Taiwan is not a country, not like Ukraine. Today sb broke my country, tomorrow they will break a lot of countries around the world by their forces, and they want to control all of the world, not just cooperations. And China grows up quickly, but never invaded ours. We want a peaceful world and make a beautiful world under everyone’s study- hard, work-hard. Cooperation would bring us greater mutual benefit and win-win outcomes. No war, I hate the politicians fan the war
What the US wants is to create a local conflict between CHINA and Taiwan [as well as RUSSIA and Ukraine].
USA would not get involved in that war directly with CHINA.
Well, as we all know, the US cowardly only picks on small countries.
Now it is important to see CHINA's next move after Nancy Pelosi left Taiwan.
The best thing for Taiwan and CHINA is to unite as a single CHINA and thus united grow together.
The only thing the USA wants is to DIVIDE and WEAKEN by creating conflicts between nations.
Now that Nancy Pelosi is gone, Taiwan is left with the problem and uncertainty of how CHINA is going to react against Taiwan.
Just read from PTT
Air-Vice Marshall Bell puts out a lot of relevant information.
That is a massive framed poster of Taiwan behind Sean Bell. Love to know where they bought it. I tried Amazon but the biggest they do is only 24X36.
@TheGyre haha yeah I was joking. :)
@TheGyre it’s neither it’s the new iPhone standing behind them
@TheGyre whoosh
😂 😂
There is a whole US Fleet nearby in the region swanning around . I think its the Reagan Carrier Fleet
Common sense, once missiles are fired
3-10 minutes landing on target. Tell me which defence can react in 3 minutes
So Taiwan should conduct a first-strike?
Any security force can make sweeping changes when ever they like
This little guy is just reading Taiwan's Wikipedia page!
Little boy Jinping huffs and puffs about the visit .... then does nothing.
Economic embargo ? Who else will do te polluting industry,, especially informatics and energy storrage ?
Has anyone noticed how the guest had everything prepared? He had his notes prepared, yet didn't read straight from paper, he explained everything clearly and interestingly. He managed to do it in short time with no meandering around different topics and explained what is the most important as quickly as possible sketching a vivid yet understandable picture in front of the viewer. Respect!

Numbers don’t mean quality
Hey! These guys do love war, they are analyzing it more like a football match
The Cross Channel distance traversed in Operation Overlord was nearly 100 miles, not 20 miles.
So much of a analyst.
True
3:10 about the 20 miles in WW2. The attack was on Omaha Beach which is located around 100 Miles away from Englands South coast. They did not attack Calais where the distance would only be 20 Miles, but might not be that important for a journalist to do his work correctly.
Airborne went first on D day dropped behind lines to cut of communications etc. Also Germany didn't have many of their top units on the coast in Normandy Taiwan will have it's China facing coastline ready for sure.
Taiwanco 🇹🇼 need us asap from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Free Hawaii!
It would be extremely hard to get equipment 100+ miles across the strait. It would probably be a barrage of missiles and a huge air attack
Even harder for US which is 1000's of miles away!
@@alanr2609 yeah but we have bases pretty close
@@Kuckerkarlson but your base only have small number off troop and equdiment, china has a whole warehouse of it
@@alanr2609 not really, the US planes wouldn't be shot down as they approached the island. The Chinese would have a less friendly greeting as they approached.
Plus china fail to build anything that works 100 percent so take atleast 30-40 percent of their equipment away for failures plus with us and their tech I can see china struggling not saying they will fail the ball is in their court effectively however it will be a challenge look at ukraine as an example aswell if the people don’t want it to happen they will stand and make sure it doesn’t
If we want the tension to stop we need to stop asking questions like this.
It’s going to be hard supporting two wars at the same time
Everyone owes it to themselves to watch The Day Today's "War" episode just to see how parody has become the actual news.

Yeah, considerably less than half that distance, at the most ridiculously longest measure.
So far, I have yet to see any analysis on our news channels of this length and depth. We have to look to media overseas to find analysis of events that directly affect us here in the United States.
That's where I go for the global News. They use common sense and not the Donkey vs Elephant approach.
It's the same anti Chinese propaganda with more words, Taiwan is Chinese territory we have no business in

I think he brushed over some key details but yeah good enough.
Lots of key points not mentioned
What like China having the biggest navy ? Total garbage
Excuse me , can China defend Taiwan after US plan to create an Independent country out of Taiwan .... Since 1949 Taiwan has done rather well under China ... Concentrate on the Ukrainian mess pls
His analysis is rubbish. Prof.Michael Clarke is way more more incisive and and expansive.
This guy is just vague while rehashing the same nonsense from the past 50 years and nothing from a different part of the world that has nothing to with that part of the world. The fact this mediocre man was an Air Vice Marshal only highlights the sorry state of the British military. Hopefully, M-I6 and GCHQ are way more reliable than this clown. He's better off drinking a pint and being quiet.
no reason to break the peace
I don't think so
Anti ship missiles are very effective. Missile defense system not nearly so much.
Wow the guy is so smart, articulate, and to the point. Well done!
I hope this comment is one that falls under sarcasm! If not then humans really can reach levels of stupidity never before seen...
He is a fool !!!
@@Richardparent879 it’s probably not stupidly but rather confirmation bias. They have been brainwashed to believe that sanctions against Russia was effective and that China would be afraid of it. All they need to do really is to read analysis from say S E Asian countries, and will understand how useless those Russian sanctions were .
I don't know much about Taiwan's airforce but is it accurate to describe its fleet as "old" or is that just a distinction between 4th and 5th gen jets?
F16 aircraft are cutting edge with China having nothing that could even compete.
F16 is a very very old plane, builded in the late 60. How can it be a 4g plane. A lot of countries like even Pakistan is scrapping it for another model, the US is doing some refurbishing and quickly selling it to Taiwan. No another countries are buying such plane anymore for their air Force.
@@issactian3143 First flight 1974, constantly upgraded. Still eagerly sought by many countries.
@H L Don't forget those are russian systems, made in china. Top notch! /s

Taiwan is about the size of Wales but considerably more useful.
actually bigger than wales
Sometimes I think the world has gone mad since february 2022.
We've gone mad since the towers fell
Wars and conflicts in ancient times were much more brutal.. Especially in the times when Ghenghis Khan ruled, he burned down a Chinese city after isolating it, it became so bad the chinese back than had to resort to cannibalism to survive... according to witnesses who visited the place after the mongols were done told us.. that the floor was sticky of human fat..so brutal.. But yeah times nowadays seems worsening after a long time of improvement.
Let's clap for the analyser, this Time he has nailed it!!!!!
He failed on the Ukraine map..LOL!

he did? he said China had the biggest navy in the world... has he ever heard of America? WOW

For a time, yes.
He calls it sabre rattling but Chinese incursions are getting more frequent and with more impunity, with economic growth has also come huge defence spending.
Its not sabre rattling those manoeuvres were planned months ago no country can just do something like that off the cuff
The US always seems to be in the middle of every conflict
The US is the only global superpower and the primary defender of the current world order built around international laws... ofcourse they are involved in most conflicts, they are making sure that world order doesn't collapse or get replaced by a new world order dominated by China or Russia or any number of other bad actors out there. I'm not saying the US is doing it for the good of the world, let's face it, they are as corrupt and greedy as anyone else, but I'd rather live under their world order than under the oppressive regimes they often counter.
It's all rooted in history.
The US has come out of WW2 being the most technologically developed country in the world, with the biggest economy, very specifically with the biggest industry, also with the biggest and most powerful military, and relatively undamaged. Any other country of significance in international politics was completely thrashed, after WW2. As a consequence, the US naturally became the political leader of the Western world, who, after having defeated Hitler, found itself threatened by soviet Russia.
Russia went bankrupt, the European Western democracies, former empires, were rebuilt, but the US remained the most powerful country in the West. Militarily, it still is years ahead of any other country - after having been devastated by two world wars, European countries are reluctant to the point of irationality to wage war, and therefore, stupidly, don't sufficiently thoroughly prepare for it.
Western democracies plus the few developed countries in East Asia (China not being one of them) represent more than half, almost three quarters of the earth's whole economy and military might, despite having a proportionally rather small population. Those countries have an acute interest to see international politics governed by strong international institutions, and the rule of law. Such a world order lets them remain dominant - it fosters economic cooperation and international trade, and, with their developed economies, they can stay ahead of other, less developed countries.
Less developed countries feel left out. Rather than walking the long and tedious way of social and economic development, to the point where they become equally developed as Western countries, they wish for a quick overturn of the situation, where the West is no longer dominant in international relations. That's of course stupid, but politics is rarely rational.
Few of the less developed countries can really do something about it - but many continuously try. Which makes a certain degree of policing, via peace keeping missions, unavoidable. The US, being the biggest military power in the West, is involved most often, and therefore also gets most of the retaliatory acts of terror. Which starts a devil's circle: the US gets involved in more ample offensive operations, some short, like the invasion of Panama, others long, like the intervention in Afghanistan, all of which leads to even more acts of terror against the US.
This forces the US to keep a stronger military and a more widespread military presence on the globe than any other country. And also leads to the US being involved in most conflicts all over the globe.
@@a0flj0 more like being powerful made them tempted to fight or harass anyone because of the confidence that they got. Hence the long list of conflicts
Who else will stop the dictators in Russia and China from enslaving their neighbors?

Having lived in Xiamen for 14 years and 64 + often visits to Kinmen Taiwan (prior Covid visa not renewed!) and reguarly WeChat contact on both sides of the Straits with the 'man in the street'......I like to listen to these "Qualified Experts" on western news channels - most maybe without not knowing where Taiwan is ....or even visited there, but appear very informative to us silent majority lapping up their media news!
Wow that was amazingly wrong..
China won't do anything
I want to be wrong on this matter but I don’t think I am. They’re taking Taiwan.
“Spare only the island.”

Could Taiwan break the blockade should be the question. China doesn’t actually need to attack, just maintain the blockade and cut off supplies to the island to destroy its economy
Alone, Taiwan may not be in a good position, but with America's fleet, it would bring back Taiwan's sovereignty back on the playing field.
blockade works 2 ways and from an economy of scale~ the cost to Beijing, if the blockade is extended, will be far greater on Beijing itself than the loss on Taiwan's side; hence even Beijing declare the exercise to be 3 days while their military is kind of exposing their capability to every other military watching this from afar.
There are also gaps between the 6 blockade points so it's unlikely any foreign cargo ship will be shot down since the cost of the region's export will also skyrocket, cease or face a reduction in which the volume that'll affect Beijing's port kind of far exceeds the total trade of Taiwan's.
So this temporary and not complete blockade seems to be designed for Beijing's internal media than being a message sent outwardly.
@@ShosinMelotic good joke, America lost war in Vietnam and Vietnam is 15 times smaller than China. Did u know Beijing is half size of Taiwan ?
No way can china impose a blockade unless they are willing to attack American ships.Then it's game over for china.
@@ShosinMelotic That, my friend, will definitely be the start of WWIII. I could almost smell the nuclear particles dancing in the air.
Short answer: 'No'
they are no pushovers
We all know how much science & technology have changed our physical world for the better since the industrial revolution, but human instinct remains the same for thousands of years. African villagers fight and kill each other because of water and pasture; advanced countries build nuclear warheads to annihilate other human beings by the millions for very similar reason - domination and control of resources . We learned how to put a man on the moon, but sadly we haven’t learned how to share available resources in a peaceful manner and help each other. We’re still primitive tribes at heart.
A repetitive but true saying.
This was surprisingly good for something coming out of Sky News. I thought It'd be all rah-rah Taiwan, but they have a sober view of things.
Agreed
Yeah, much better quality than DW, I’d rather think Germany is the colony of America.
Wow
Where are the briefings about Ukraine?
The challenge is having the military aid arrive in time.
Well China has to first start invading
There are already carrier battlegroups within striking range.
Right, the nearer the carrier get to Taiwan, it a much easier target for the DF21, that why all the other carrier are at least keeping at least in Guam or Hawaii.
crossing an ocean ain't easy for China either

"It's not recognized universally as an independent state" and if say; Russia was supporting the independence of a breakaway region Sky News would say "Taiwan is overwhelmingly recognized as part of China"
What Sky news said is factual though. No real country recognizes Taiwan as a fully-fledged independent sovereign State and none have full diplomatic relations with Taiwan or embassy's there. All countries (with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 and the Vatican) observe the 'one China' policy agreement with China established in 1979 with US and the Taiwan Relations Act. Most of the West recognizes the independent democratically elected government of Taiwan as a separate governing entity to mainland China, but that's a separate thing to recognizing Taiwan itself as an independent sovereign State separate from China. Taiwan is basically an overseas territory of China, in the same way Gibraltar is to UK.. Gibraltar feels like a separate country to UK with its own elected government and economy, but it's still a British overseas crown territory and not a separate sovereign State. Hong Kong too has a very similar status to Taiwan with China. It's own democratically elected government (with representatives present for the Chinese Communist government) but it's still a territory of China today, after being a British overseas colonial territory for 100 years until 1999. China made a commitment to observe the autonmous democratically elected government of Hong Kong and human rights in 1997 prior to the British formal handover in 1999 and has for the most part kept its word, but as China's economic and military power grows (which is projected and expected to exceed the US by 2030), it won't take long before China takes full direct government control I expect of both Kong Hong and Taiwan eventually.
@@paullangton-rogers2390 my point is clearly the double standards in language when reporting on similar issues and that language is distinctly different when applying it to other countries e.g. China "dominates" whilst the US simply "controls".
Politics aside, the definition of an independent nation is that it has definable territorial lines and its own government controlling that territory. If Taiwan shows that, then it is indeed a separate country from China. China should have acted sooner to provide "guidance" to any wayward states to ensure they remained under Chinese recognition. It is too late now.
@@mutanthybrid3466 "it has definable territorial lines and its own government controlling that territory"
With that basis you'd support the breakaway territories of Eastern Ukraine then ?
China should be barred from UN and all should boycott China products
I keep hearing how NATO will respond. NATO is a defence coalition which neither of these two countries mentioned are apart of. Taiwan has had a half century + to gain support and friends in Asia where are they now?
All Asian countries, including Japan, recognizes Taiwan as part of China so they are not getting involve in China's internal affairs.

@@orangeairsoft7292 agree
extremely rare in western media. Don't tell me China/Russian media is full of freedom of speech and sunshine
Lol, calling china the biggest navy is a balanced interpretation? Sure it has the most ships, but not in terms in total tonnage
@@smonyboy when it is bigger in tonnage we will start talking about quality over quantity I suppose. The point is that we're trading with them and helping with all their technology and they're ploughing money into weapons. There's no real doubt as to the intentions of their government - at some point they will feel comfortable about doing damage. It will take a huge combined effort to restrain them. On the whole we have engaged with them a lot but they're still undemocratic and therefore very dangerous.
Imagine the Chinese did the same with Cuba. Their foreign minister end up in Havana, they sell military hardware to the Cuban, sail their aircraft carrier in the Caribbean and draw up an air defence zone around Cuba which partially encroach into Florida
Its quite possible that it will happen. China preparing much more steps than just drills around Taiwan and much increased military presence in Latin America is logical choice. I wouldnt be surprised if China together with Russia announced in next weeks establishing naval/air base for example in Nicaragua, or Venezuela or Cuba.
It's more like Alaska, Texas or some other breakaway region of the US. Cuba has full international recognition as an independent state, Taiwan is recognized by 180 of 193 UN member states as being part of China.

yes and I'm Welsh and Wales regularly gets called a country but it's just a slip of the tongue.
Taiwan is indeed a de facto country, just like south korea.

Zelenzky was exposed for faking battlegrounds so that’s why it went quiet in UK anyway, he even removed his wee army jumper after he was exposed 😂
@@KG-ig1ll nice lies
I'm so over the term sabre rattling. 🤢🤮
“War is young men dying and old men talking” by Franklin D. Roosevelt:
I'm ok with a "one China" outcome, as long as it's Taiwan!
they said the same with the sanctions on russia but the entire world has suffered and putin is laughing at us all
Because we're stupid.
The wording is so important and this weren’t it 😵💫🤐
did he just say country?
now he is in trouble
I could see China doing it for national pride sake. They are dealing with alot of social unrest from lockdowns and an economic crisis so they could spin this to rally national pride to combat that unrest. As mentioned though, the potential economic backlash might further their economoic situation.
Exactly... Nancy just started a war just like kamala Harris visit started war in Ukraine..
Currently there's huge political crisis in China with real estate firms which is huge for its economy(Chinese can only buy houses and invest in real estate, as rest of the business are fully funded/owned by states) has been falling across the country one after the other...
So it's obviously makes sense for them to start this war as excuse..
No no this would spike even more unrest. If Taiwan would be the agressor it would be another case
Awkwardly, the uk economy is far worse than the Chinese one, lol
@@Gionimo Not sure, more than 3/4 of Russians still support the russian invasion of Ukraine as of June per the Atlantic Council. Also support generally rises for leaders during war time even in the western world. Given the CCP has even higher propoganda controls over their own citizens I could see it bolstering national pride despite hurting them economically.
That is the gambit of President Xi
Gotta update his info on Taiwan’s armed forces. He’s a bit outdated.
If there is only peace, how will 'defense contractors' survive?
I'll answer this ,, uh no!
Oopsie someone seems to be forgetting that Japan has recently stated unequivocally that it will go to war to defend Taiwan.
Which is extremely rare assertiveness for Japan. US is involved whether they like it or not.
Taiwan was the planned base for the invasion by the U.S. and Britain of Japan during WWII because of ports, etc. Japan knows this and realizes China could use Taiwan for the same purpose, hence Japan's intention to help Taiwan. The history between China and Japan has never been friendly.
japan had to mind own business not american one
Japan is a clown
@Ivan Itchzikok they would not be destroyed, China is not the US
@@omotolaoyeniyi631 yes, PRC is much worse than USA because chinese cant supervise their government, while americans can supervise their government, so PRC has no qualms to do evil.
