Let's be real though if china starts war with taiwan the US Gov either has to call its bluff, or attack. WW3 or Not because china will attack first obviously. America already said they are going to run out of money for ukraine by mid 2024 and artillery shells will stop being produced. US Gov had to hold off strikes in iran under the trump presidency in 2019 because the pentagon briefed trump that they would lose if they tried to instigate they didn't have the resources.

To my best knowledge beefing up military airfields on your own soil is not all that uncommon. I'd even call it common sense. I would be more worried if a nation would reinforce it's military assets abroad. Like, for instance, ehm...
In general, yes, you are probably right. But I would be more worried of a country that threatened another de-facto independent country for annexation using military multiple times.
It is different for a regular country vs being the "world police". Without a "big bro" maintaining order, every country is scared of their neighbor and will increase military spending. Increase military spending scares neighboring countries so these countries ALSO increase military spending. Then in order to feed the military (and not a lot of money put in the economy), the country has to use them. So war begins. US being extremely overpowered and will intervene if there are conflicts lets other countries feel safer to resolve things by negotiation, focusing on the economy, instead of pumping money into military. Putting military assets abroad is just another method of ensuring US has the ability to quickly help if things turn south in a place that is far away from US mainland.
I have to ask, what is wrong with upgrading your own Air Bases? Every country is strengthening its own defense capabilities. Why not ask yourself, why US’s military spending is more than the total of all countries combined?
So you didn't pay attention to the video. They are upgrading their defenses because they are preparing to invade Taiwan, which would most likely to have a huge global impact.

Look at the Island Hopping Campaign in WW2. The U.S basically had unlimited resources and could pound a tiny several mile wide island by sea and from the air for days on end. Despite this, the assault troops still suffered high casualties. If taking a small island defended by starved soldiers with antiquated equipment can inflict high losses on an experienced invasion force... Good luck to China who has no amphibious operation experience trying to invade a massive island that has had decades to prepare, filled with millions of people ready to defend their home and armed with modern military equipment.
The problem is Taiwan hasn’t prepared anything in the last decades, the military service is reduced to 4 months and only recently increased to 1 year. It’s got a long way to go. They are no where near ready. Remember the Ukrainians were fighting the Russians since 2013 not 2022 so they were had a long period of time to ramp up the combat readiness and I see that they are not doing so well at the moment.
@@feverbeaver8964 Taiwan has regional combat readiness forces on duty at all times, and combat management is also on duty at all times. I also participated in the combat readiness rotation. I also served in the Army for four years.

In the future, Taiwan will likely lose air superiority simply by relying mostly on conventional fighters and other aircraft. That is why it is very important for Taiwan to focus more on layered ground-based air defense systems for a prolonged air denial. Plus when it comes to the ROC navy, it would be better to focus on submerged platforms (standard diesel-electric submarines, midget submarines, and UUVs, naval mines) and mobile land-based anti-ship missile systems.
china already has dominating air superiority over roc, as well as navel superiority. No amount of grounded based air defenses can survive. China has long range radiation homing missiles fired from J16, stealth J20, H6 bombers, by land from rocket launchers, and from sea by 052D, 055 destroyers. One of the exercises J16 pilots trains for is taking out ground based radars and SAMs using low altitude approach with radiation homing weapons. And US could move their entire military to taiwan and it still won't save it. taiwan is just too close, too enclosed in China's entire A2D and multi-domain capabilities. If J16 can't deliver that anti-radiation weapon, maybe h6 can deliver it from 400km away, or maybe 300km ranged land based GPS and radiation guided rockets can, or maybe submarines with cruise missiles can, maybe destroyers can, maybe j20 on low altitude high speed run can. Maybe drones, stealth UAVs can. China has so many options that can accomplish the task with really high probability of survival. Its a war of attrition for taiwan and it will lose.
@@russli-lv2yc It is truly indeed that China has the upper hand in many ways but as long as Taiwan's defense strategy focuses on porcupine and asymmetric strategy, it can deter and repel enemy aggressive actions, and the enemy may suffer heavy losses. Always remember that no admiral in nation's navy will dare to conduct amphibious operations unless the area of operation is cleared. For example, Taiwan may choose to develop and acquire a few diesel electric submarines, dozens of midget submarines, dozens UUVs, land-based anti-ship missiles, thousands of aerial-kamikaze drones, thousands of naval mines and landmines, thousands of ATGMs and MANPADs, few hundred of mobile artilleries (Howitzers, Mortars, MLRS), thousands of decoys and etc. Simply most of the mentioned platforms are affordable for Taiwan's Economy and not that expensive except for the standard diesel-electric submarines.
@@Hamlet137475Ukraine is an example not to trust the west, if you weren't aware the West is pressuring Zelensky for an unconditional surrender to Russia
Isn't that something the US does all the time? We are always upgrading military infrastructure, weapons systems etc. I expect China to arm up simply because of the horrific treatment it has received from Britain and the US. It wasn't long ago that Britain was addicting China to opium by force. US stood by and didn't say a thing. Karma does happen and now we have asked China to restrict sending fentanyl making materials to the Cartel. It wasn't until China was under Mao Tse Tung that it became strong enough to ward off the Brits. That was when Taiwan was taken away from China illegaly. Not that the US is very good at complying with International law. Perhaps if the USA was not beligerant, China would not have to arm itself such. Like Israel, China has the right to defend itself. The real threat to the US is the US itself. 20 years ago I learned that China has around 700k students in universities all over the world, the US has around 70k, Mexico has 65K. I'm sure this has not changed. China is playing the long game. It's taken our government around 20 years to figure this out. Better make our colleges and universities free because the 'no college' philosophy championed by Republicans will cede our lead. Our response of course is to be beligerent, Claim that China has stolen our technology, this considering that US Corporations moved manufacturing (our jobs) to China, we somehow blame China for that. Last year China led the world in patents awarded. I'm sure we're stealing Chinese technology. The PAX Americana has been challenged. No one, no country can edict truth. China has raised hundreds of millions of its citizens out of poverty. Can that be said about the US? The writing is on the wall.
You make great points, but you forget something. It has never been just the US, it has been the US and its allies. Another thing you must understand is that we're moving into a deglobalization world. Which mean 2 things for China, one is their cheap consumer products for the rest of the world economy will cease to exist, cause there is no more demand, and 2, their demographics, the famous one child policy, will finally start to become a huge problem. So even though they have a short window where the numbers add up to their favor, what has risen can fall again. Those millions out of poverty, can go back into poverty.

Kevin Rudd (former AU PM) put it best when estimating China's timeline for Taiwan. 1. China would need to first insulate itself sufficiently from the damage of the global financial system (sanctions). This would include securing energy, food, and other commodities in RMB. Since Rudd first said this, we have seen them making strides in doing this with unilateral trade deals with Brazil, African countries, Arab nations, and more. 2. China would need to build up it's military to the point that they point that they are sure they would win. They are working towards both of these goals but they have a long way to go and will need many years if it is to be achieved. Will they attack Taiwan? - That is probably the goal. Is it a sure bet and will it be soon? - Probably not
Those trade deals are useless when sanctions comes in..Ships travelling to China will be blocked..unless China secure those routes , this requires China to have multiple ship bases in other countries ... i dont think that will happen anytime soon.. in my opinion ..In terms of Energy and food they can secure it from Russia and near by neigbours...it need to increase the army to 4 times its current size
All of China's preparations will not change the cold hard facts that China imports most of its food, oil/gas and coal/steel and needs to export to survive. All of the major shipping lanes are patrolled by the US Navy, oil from the gulf needs to get past the US Navy stationed there, then through the Straits of Malacca. A complete embargo would cause massive famine and economic collapse, not a good place to be for the CPC. There is nothing to be gained for China by turning Taiwan into a wasteland where most of its educated population would flee. That said, all one has to look at is Russia to see what delusional and paranoid dictatorships can stumble into.
Which country DONT want to shelter their assets in a harden shelf ? Not exactly brain surgery .. preparation or not ? Never mind enhancing its survival of any assets ?

Your assumption does demonstrate your ignorance. Did you take into consideration that China is controlled by the CCP who is directly an enemy of the ROC that controls Taiwan. Did you take into consideration that the CCP took the mainland of China from the ROC who were the rightful rulers of China? No you did not, you just have ignorance.

This is probably the PLA upgrading their hardware to keep up their military after what happened to the "2nd Strongest Army in the World"
@@Akash-uq8wgyou have a good point. I don’t have a clear answer for that. I can tell you the department of defense and state department are doing everything possible to prepare Taiwan for war.
Who on earth is going to invade China? China is the one threatening Taiwan and building up fake islands to try and claim waters from many other countries, China is the one that removed the rights of people in Hong Kong.
Pretty much. USA and its empire have military bases all around the world. But don't dare China upgrade its own military bases on their own soil because it's immediately evil and a threat.
China has a history of 5,000 years of military struggle and has accumulated rich combat experience. Since the founding of New China, it has never lost a foreign war, including the Korean War between 1vs17 countries. For the first time in history, the United States was forced to sign an armistice agreement. They cited The proud First Division of the Army was completely wiped out, and MacArthur's promise to return before Christmas was in vain; in fact, China has never actively invaded other countries or interfered in other countries' internal affairs, and the United States has never fought against a country of equal strength. A total war (including the Korean War, because at that time the People's Republic of China had just been founded one year ago and its equipment was 50 years behind the times. It relied entirely on perseverance, faith and excellent physical fitness to win), and the United States has hardly stopped for a few years since its founding. Through foreign wars, because this is their source of obtaining and plundering resources, and it is also an important way to divert domestic conflicts. This is typical hegemonism. He will never understand the idea of a "community with a shared future for mankind" proposed by China!
Could you please tell us how is the development of the America Air Base on the most southern island of Japan situated close to China shore lines next time. Thank you.
contently leaving out that china literally claims part of japan belongs to them and that china has openly threatened to bomb them if they try to resist
Over what period of time did China upgrade these bases? Is that a direct relation to the total amount of money china is spending on military as a whole? The USA bumps up military 5% a year or more. China bumps up their military spending 20-30 percent per year. If this was over 10 years, installing more runway space is literally only to be expected. The rational take is not explained here. WSJ could be ignoring the rational take on purpose to basically prepare you for the USA's 5th ongoing war. Im counting Syria, Ukraine, Israel, and soon to pop off, Venezuela. So taiwan would be number 5
What we really learned was a tiny fraction of China's drone industry is apparently enough to carry the war for both NATO and Russia, can wipe out entire armies, and just China's dual-use exports to Iran is enough to sustain drone production that depleted European AD inventory. In other words, what you should have learned is industry is what matters, and China IS human industry.
I suspect they will use a different strategy... I suspect they won't have to send a single soldier over. I think they will find a way to deliver insane numbers of missiles cheaply/economically day after day until either Taiwan surrenders or no one is left. China will probably bet on Taiwan not being able to keep up with air defense (which is expensive).
I want to see the Chinese version of this video about the US. What do our news footage videos look like over there? Or do they just use youtube videos?
TH-cam is not even legal in China, just like most of Google apps, Facebook, etc.; you have to use a VPN to bypass the Chinese ban to these Western media. Instead, people in China watch what's approved and controled by the Chinese government, so people in China only get information that is favorable to the Chinese government.
In terms of military news, China basically uses footage released by US/western media, for example, US-Thailand Military Drill co-op. China also reports US technology like nVidia graphic cards, Boston Dynamics robots. Well, we also watch videos about homeless, drug misuse, gunshots in some US cities and some mass media influencers would show us police car chasing and street girls (sex workers maybe) in USA. They (Chinese) either live in USA or upload TH-cam videos to Chinese media platforms.
There are still drug uses in China. Just the government has been clamping down this crime and carrying out anti-drug education for many years. Most often gangsters and some entertainers use drug.@@camt8804

I doubt Japan, Korea or Philippines will join in formally. At best maybe provide some intel/supplies to the Americans, at worst probably just telling the Americans to fight their own war without involving them.

Let's be real though if china starts war with taiwan the US Gov either has to call its bluff, or attack. WW3 or Not because china will attack first obviously. America already said they are going to run out of money for ukraine by mid 2024 and artillery shells will stop being produced. US Gov had to hold off strikes in iran under the trump presidency in 2019 because the pentagon briefed trump that they would lose if they tried to instigate they didn't have the resources.

To my best knowledge beefing up military airfields on your own soil is not all that uncommon. I'd even call it common sense. I would be more worried if a nation would reinforce it's military assets abroad. Like, for instance, ehm...
In general, yes, you are probably right.
But I would be more worried of a country that threatened another de-facto independent country for annexation using military multiple times.
It is different for a regular country vs being the "world police".
Without a "big bro" maintaining order, every country is scared of their neighbor and will increase military spending. Increase military spending scares neighboring countries so these countries ALSO increase military spending. Then in order to feed the military (and not a lot of money put in the economy), the country has to use them. So war begins.
US being extremely overpowered and will intervene if there are conflicts lets other countries feel safer to resolve things by negotiation, focusing on the economy, instead of pumping money into military. Putting military assets abroad is just another method of ensuring US has the ability to quickly help if things turn south in a place that is far away from US mainland.

What happened WSJ you were publishing how innovative China is a post or two ago.
Look at the Island Hopping Campaign in WW2. The U.S basically had unlimited resources and could pound a tiny several mile wide island by sea and from the air for days on end. Despite this, the assault troops still suffered high casualties.
If taking a small island defended by starved soldiers with antiquated equipment can inflict high losses on an experienced invasion force... Good luck to China who has no amphibious operation experience trying to invade a massive island that has had decades to prepare, filled with millions of people ready to defend their home and armed with modern military equipment.
Don't compare past WITH the present
The problem is Taiwan hasn’t prepared anything in the last decades, the military service is reduced to 4 months and only recently increased to 1 year. It’s got a long way to go. They are no where near ready. Remember the Ukrainians were fighting the Russians since 2013 not 2022 so they were had a long period of time to ramp up the combat readiness and I see that they are not doing so well at the moment.

Superb analysis
Except the part where this new threat is also the WSJ's fault for supporting China"s rise.
You guys have no idea what a hardened airbase looks like. Look at Kusan, it's a freaking beast.
My grandpa always told me that we build our military to defend ourselves instead of trying to reach another country (like the US).
In the future, Taiwan will likely lose air superiority simply by relying mostly on conventional fighters and other aircraft. That is why it is very important for Taiwan to focus more on layered ground-based air defense systems for a prolonged air denial. Plus when it comes to the ROC navy, it would be better to focus on submerged platforms (standard diesel-electric submarines, midget submarines, and UUVs, naval mines) and mobile land-based anti-ship missile systems.
china already has dominating air superiority over roc, as well as navel superiority. No amount of grounded based air defenses can survive. China has long range radiation homing missiles fired from J16, stealth J20, H6 bombers, by land from rocket launchers, and from sea by 052D, 055 destroyers. One of the exercises J16 pilots trains for is taking out ground based radars and SAMs using low altitude approach with radiation homing weapons. And US could move their entire military to taiwan and it still won't save it. taiwan is just too close, too enclosed in China's entire A2D and multi-domain capabilities. If J16 can't deliver that anti-radiation weapon, maybe h6 can deliver it from 400km away, or maybe 300km ranged land based GPS and radiation guided rockets can, or maybe submarines with cruise missiles can, maybe destroyers can, maybe j20 on low altitude high speed run can. Maybe drones, stealth UAVs can. China has so many options that can accomplish the task with really high probability of survival. Its a war of attrition for taiwan and it will lose.
@@russli-lv2yc
It is truly indeed that China has the upper hand in many ways but as long as Taiwan's defense strategy focuses on porcupine and asymmetric strategy, it can deter and repel enemy aggressive actions, and the enemy may suffer heavy losses. Always remember that no admiral in nation's navy will dare to conduct amphibious operations unless the area of operation is cleared.
For example, Taiwan may choose to develop and acquire a few diesel electric submarines, dozens of midget submarines, dozens UUVs, land-based anti-ship missiles, thousands of aerial-kamikaze drones, thousands of naval mines and landmines, thousands of ATGMs and MANPADs, few hundred of mobile artilleries (Howitzers, Mortars, MLRS), thousands of decoys and etc. Simply most of the mentioned platforms are affordable for Taiwan's Economy and not that expensive except for the standard diesel-electric submarines.
Sorry, that political oriented country doesn't have a future. Their industries are in decline. Taiwan seriously lacks infrastructure
ukraine showed you don't need large surface vessels anymore for a navy. taiwan should do the same as you say
@@Hamlet137475Ukraine is an example not to trust the west, if you weren't aware the West is pressuring Zelensky for an unconditional surrender to Russia
Isn't that something the US does all the time? We are always upgrading military infrastructure, weapons systems etc. I expect China to arm up simply because of the horrific treatment it has received from Britain and the US. It wasn't long ago that Britain was addicting China to opium by force. US stood by and didn't say a thing. Karma does happen and now we have asked China to restrict sending fentanyl making materials to the Cartel. It wasn't until China was under Mao Tse Tung that it became strong enough to ward off the Brits. That was when Taiwan was taken away from China illegaly. Not that the US is very good at complying with International law. Perhaps if the USA was not beligerant, China would not have to arm itself such. Like Israel, China has the right to defend itself.
The real threat to the US is the US itself. 20 years ago I learned that China has around 700k students in universities all over the world, the US has around 70k, Mexico has 65K. I'm sure this has not changed. China is playing the long game. It's taken our government around 20 years to figure this out. Better make our colleges and universities free because the 'no college' philosophy championed by Republicans will cede our lead. Our response of course is to be beligerent, Claim that China has stolen our technology, this considering that US Corporations moved manufacturing (our jobs) to China, we somehow blame China for that. Last year China led the world in patents awarded. I'm sure we're stealing Chinese technology.
The PAX Americana has been challenged. No one, no country can edict truth. China has raised hundreds of millions of its citizens out of poverty. Can that be said about the US? The writing is on the wall.
You make great points, but you forget something. It has never been just the US, it has been the US and its allies.
Another thing you must understand is that we're moving into a deglobalization world. Which mean 2 things for China, one is their cheap consumer products for the rest of the world economy will cease to exist, cause there is no more demand, and 2, their demographics, the famous one child policy, will finally start to become a huge problem. So even though they have a short window where the numbers add up to their favor, what has risen can fall again. Those millions out of poverty, can go back into poverty.

Informative thanks
Kevin Rudd (former AU PM) put it best when estimating China's timeline for Taiwan.
1. China would need to first insulate itself sufficiently from the damage of the global financial system (sanctions). This would include securing energy, food, and other commodities in RMB. Since Rudd first said this, we have seen them making strides in doing this with unilateral trade deals with Brazil, African countries, Arab nations, and more.
2. China would need to build up it's military to the point that they point that they are sure they would win.
They are working towards both of these goals but they have a long way to go and will need many years if it is to be achieved. Will they attack Taiwan? - That is probably the goal. Is it a sure bet and will it be soon? - Probably not
Those trade deals are useless when sanctions comes in..Ships travelling to China will be blocked..unless China secure those routes , this requires China to have multiple ship bases in other countries ... i dont think that will happen anytime soon.. in my opinion ..In terms of Energy and food they can secure it from Russia and near by neigbours...it need to increase the army to 4 times its current size

US is hoping that China will wipe out the chips factories in Taiwan after those companies already invest in US.
All of China's preparations will not change the cold hard facts that China imports most of its food, oil/gas and coal/steel and needs to export to survive. All of the major shipping lanes are patrolled by the US Navy, oil from the gulf needs to get past the US Navy stationed there, then through the Straits of Malacca. A complete embargo would cause massive famine and economic collapse, not a good place to be for the CPC. There is nothing to be gained for China by turning Taiwan into a wasteland where most of its educated population would flee. That said, all one has to look at is Russia to see what delusional and paranoid dictatorships can stumble into.

China has a history of 5,000 years of military struggle and has accumulated rich combat experience. Since the founding of New China, it has never lost a foreign war, including the Korean War between 1vs17 countries. For the first time in history, the United States was forced to sign an armistice agreement. They cited The proud First Division of the Army was completely wiped out, and MacArthur's promise to return before Christmas was in vain; in fact, China has never actively invaded other countries or interfered in other countries' internal affairs, and the United States has never fought against a country of equal strength. A total war (including the Korean War, because at that time the People's Republic of China had just been founded one year ago and its equipment was 50 years behind the times. It relied entirely on perseverance, faith and excellent physical fitness to win), and the United States has hardly stopped for a few years since its founding. Through foreign wars, because this is their source of obtaining and plundering resources, and it is also an important way to divert domestic conflicts. This is typical hegemonism. He will never understand the idea of a "community with a shared future for mankind" proposed by China!

@@donbusuThe thing is that Taiwan is not a “island neighbour”, it’s a part of China. This fact is recognised by the UN and indeed by the US Government!
Well, it doesn't seem like very good camouflage does it?
*giggling with HIMARS*

@@spider6660let’s see how you like it under Chinese control
China doesn’t have to be concerned about war with Taiwan . Preparations are being upgraded and ready only if the US wants a direct war and should not be provoking Taiwan like it did on Ukraine .
China has every right to defend itself.
I agree with that, except when self-defense is used as an excuse to invade and annex neighboring people who want nothing to do with the invaders.
@@victuz So you condemn Israeli actions in Gaza?
Why are you worrying about China.
Please. It is called INVASION of Taiwan, not WAR with Taiwan.
You can't invade your own country.
@@ALeon-od3wu ? China is a country! even though it's hated by the world and stolen by fake communist party, the official name is People's Republic of China. Get your facts straight!
Have you seen the Chinese build-up? Thats not just to fight Taiwan. That's like bringing a shotgun to an ant hill. Every country that can is building up and moving troops
The West and east have been in a cold war for decades. Hacking into each other's government, military, and corporate networks. Hacking into critical infrastructure. Meddling in each other's politics. Influencing each other's populations and movements within them. It's just been escalating more and more in recent years. Western democracies and eastern fascist regimes can not coexist and have never intended to. Things are going to have to be settled at some point.
I don't think that can withstand againsts bunker busting weapons.
"Expert": "... with these hardened shelters they can survive our preemptive strikes..."
Me: "HOW THEY DARE!!!")))
We will see😂😂😂😅
Don't forget that Winnie the Pooch is gonna take Taiwan by all means.
I wonder how they’ll defend the three gorges dam?
They would use nukes to strike back if the dam were attacked. The dam is not a military asset.
😂
Are those Christians in ROC and U$ military going to destroy the 3 Gorges Dam ?
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 They won't do it. That's suicidal.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 probably call in the Israelis or the Ukrainians to be fair. China will be too busy feeding a starving army and population to notice.
Just using air defences lol
Here you go! Western spying on China caught red handed. But they are very angry when somebody looking at their backyard😅. To be fair North Korea has a right to put spy satellite into space.
As long as they don't start a war or help are enemies
@@billtinkham3318 Even they put a thousand satellite they have no match with the US. Kim is just trolling the US.
😂 Can you not get prepared when there’re so many jackals at your doorsteps, waiting to start another proxy war ?
1.5 billion people trying to conquer an island smaller than hawaii. Smh.
Taiwan is China, China is Taiwan!

I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 175K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again
@@BonnieSetliff Hi , please who is the expert assisting you and how do I reach out to them?
The broker I'm in touch with is Christy Val D'souza is an. I came across her in a Bloomberg interview and got in touch with her. You can use something else. For me, her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on
@@VictoireBoldwyn
@@BonnieSetliff Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up online and I would say she really does have an impressive background on investing
Please, read everything about Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger.
Taiwan has regional combat readiness forces on duty at all times, and combat management is also on duty at all times.
I also participated in the combat readiness rotation.
I also served in the Army for four years.
cool.
like the army major, lieutenant colonel, and 8 other soldiers that were indicted last week for working for PRC, leaking military secrets, and pledging allegiance to the CPC 😂😂
So? All nations have that…
we dont care
Thank you for your service to our country! God bless Taiwan.
good
Those jet fights appears to be J7 or J8, ru kidding me. The 2nd gen fighter going to fight today's war?😂

@ iañtheseviow3013: u know things!! Well done, from eastern Europe!!
Penny Wong would love this
Are you planning a follow-up to this video called 'how the US surrounded China with dozens of military bases'?
It's the East Asia/South East Asian countries asking for the US military base to stay. They need the US military base so China won't threaten them.
@@OceanTree oh - for sure! without any coercion and manipulations by the CIA and/or Department of State...
the people of East/South Asia just cried for help and the Big Brother - the USA listened and in its benevolence and selflessness gave them the gift of its military bases 🤣😅
How many wars has China started since WW2?
How many wars (including proxy ones, like the one in Ukraine) has the US standard/instigated since WW2?
@@onemanmob6756 The truth hurts, huh? EA and SEA start to see China as the biggest threat and the US as the wall to protect them from the Chinese aggression.

Long live the free and democratic country of Taiwan 🇹🇼
Taiwan doesn't want to be part of China... It is impossible since they claim to be the real China.
@@saltapozo Taiwan does not want to be part of China. Maybe if China wasn't a communist authoritarian dictatorship then Taiwan might want to be part of China. Taiwan loves it's freedom and the people identify as Taiwanese. They don't call themselves Chinese :)
It's Chinese.
@@pickeledminister317 Yes Chinese is the main language in the country of Taiwan :)
@@rickdaltonOG i am not Chinese nor tiawanise. can you explain what benefits does tiawan have over china, being democratic state? in my understanding democracy is just a tool to control nations through culprits. Where these colonial powers can buy people to manipulate majority peoples opinions.
Thank you 🙏 I wonder 💭 which one is real
All that to launch more balloons 😂
USA have hundreds of military bases surrounding China.
And it’s a problem if China upgrades its military installations?
Totally agreed with you .
If China upgrades its military installation in Tibet, no one will care. You seem to ignore the fact that China has stated aims of taking over Taiwan. You are ignorantly making false comparisons.
At this pace we STILL HAVE ABOUT 7 YRS....... WE MUST START PREPARING TAIWAN
😂😂😂
Who is “We”?
we? who? why?
Indian think they are the chess player, actually they are merely a chess piece just like Taiwan. You better just focus on preparing yourself instead of worrying about Taiwan.
@@lchen28 Well said?
So horrifying...
WSJ: looks at China, how dare they built airports in their own country.
What is wrong or illegitimate for China to upgrade their militiary capability within their territory and not in a foreign base? .... as if China has no right to defend her interests.
Nothing wrong at all, they can spend their funds any way they choose. Did someone say it’s wrong?
@@russell3038 It's because the way the title of the video is worded makes people think China is about to attack anytime now.
China is not preparing war only for Taiwan but for the whole Southeast Asia and the Pacific. China is daydraming for a world dominance and hegemony which we Filipinos fo not want.
Please provide a single piece of evidence (not opinion) supporting your claim.
没有中国人想要菲律宾这块烂地的统治权
The hardened war plane storage makes sense. The US or a proxy would only be able to shoot missiles from long distances or kamikaze drones, but no bunker busters dropped from bombers. As the Ukraine war shows, anti air is so sophisticated that the age of the bomber is over.
I am not knowledgeable about military advancements man. Please explain. Do you mean the B-12 is obsolete? Carriers? Can you expand?
Not.
Now show England's and the US's upgrades.....that'll be interesting.
Don't forget Japan and the Philippines have said they will defend Taiwan. The ROK also won't have any choice but to join.
he said she said..............what next?
lol no Koreans are not gonna join your civil war.
@@잡았다요놈-y9w : They won't have any choice unless they want to be Chinese citizens which they overwhelmingly do not. The Sth Koreans will fight China.
@@잡았다요놈-y9w : BTW. Did you know there are American bases in ROK ? So China will attack those as they are the closest to the PRC.
And China can afford all these upgrades and projects thanks to US and EU consumers buying their cheap products.
Imagine thinking China is still selling cheap products. You are living in the past
This ain't 1950,granpa!
You mean investors not consumers. Consumers don’t have a choice of what location its made from. ESPECIALLY when it’s impossible to compete financially.
