"China sits off the coast of Taiwan".......? Erhm, okay. It's not how most people would put it though. BTW, read The Joint Declaration of the 1970s. The US recognises Taiwan as an island province of China in the same way China recognises Hawaii as an island state of the US.
Chinese provinces along Russian boarder have been losing population for decades. It is nearly impossible to get young people to move to Northern provinces. China wouldn’t find enough people to occupy Siberia even if Russian invited them in
I looked up the number of Chinese who live in Russia, one calculation says it's about 30'000 which is ridiculously low, another one says 200'000-400'000. Even with the larger estimate it's pretty far to worry about China expansion))) Russia's population is about 145 million people.
I think the idea of the Chinese taking Siberia is wishful thinking of the west to try and drive a wedge. Especially the US since they have a history of being invited in and taking over the place - ask Texas, half the western states and Hawaii...
The core reason Taiwan can't ever build a viable military is because there are too many people on the island that disagree with its core mission. Democracy manifests in odd ways. Incidentally, something similar happened in Armenia a couple years back. They called the Russians to defend them to which the Russians replied with something along the lines of well you aren't defending this place yourself you can't expect us to go first. I'm paraphrasing very roughly here, but the situation is similar enough.
The Taiwanese have never been independent. They are completely dependent on the United States right now. The entire world including the United States state department recognizes Taiwan as part of China. Also I disagree with the old notion that the Chinese are gonna invade siberia and take it from the Russians. This is nonsense they have no intention of doing this, they don't like the climate And there are not enough opportunities there for such a vast population so let's get these notions out of our heads.
China has been openly hegemonic in the East and South China Seas. However, for some reason, it has repeatedly stated that it hopes that Ukraine will be resolved peacefully in accordance with the UN Charter and international humanitarian law. It seems that China does not want to clash with the West over a distant issue. That is why it seems to be irritated by North Korea's reckless behavior.
It about the money, that why Uncle Sam try to be only the so-called super power but hey Rome was also a super power in their time period. Where are they today. What destroyed it. Thanks for uploads. Have a good day
Look at the history of Citigroup and Taiwan. They came in right after the war and they just closed up their retail shop and left a couple years ago. If all wars are banker’s wars, then as far as Taiwan is concerned, they’ve already surrendered.
Taiwanese people as majority does not want to be ruled by the CCP. Taiwan has built very extensive defenses against china. Noting GDP to defense spending does not reflect that they do not value being free. Taiwanese are not warlike such as Israel. There factors that you cant just disregard. Your argument that they dont want to spend because they just dont want to is very misguided. Taiwan focused more on economic policy so that it can defend itself better nor are they just sitting there. It is hard to change generations of policy focused on economics from self interests to just the sluggish nature if any organization. And by rights the Taiwanese govt is older than the CCP the claims of the CCP against taiwan are all bogus. And you have to consider that a lot of its politicians are actually relying on the US and Japan. Japan for instance has already committed to defend Taiwan. It is also hard for taiwan to buy arms due to its status. It is in the interest of the US to make sure Taiwan stays free for all sorts of varied reasons.
The realignment is now baked in. China is now the largest trading partner for 2/3 of the world. 30yrs ago, the United States occupied the position China occupies. Of the five largest banks in the world, 3 are Chinese including the top 2 and 5/10.
Trump needs to do a reverse version Nixon's visit to China. Nixon visited the PRC to break up the USSR/PRC alliance because then the USSR was a much more serious threat than the PRC. Now the USSR has gone Russia is a less serious threat than the PRC. So Trump needs to visit Moscow and announce a bunch of agreements. This would create fear in the mind of the Chinese leadership that Russia might do them what they did to the USSR. I.e. side with the US in foreign policy. This would dissuade them from attacking Taiwan. I've actually met Russians who mentioned the fear that China may one day seize Siberia. You're right Taiwan needs to double its defence budget.
You've met Russians that fear China may one day seize Siberia. In that case, I'll go on record so that you now know of at least one Canadian that fears the USA might one day seize Canada. Is that rational? Who cares. It's plausible.
@@user-qf6yt3id3w dissuade them from attacking their own territory and keeping their country together? So you believe in the sovereignty of Ukraine but not the sovereignty of China?
@@jeffhedrich3551 Taiwan has never been ruled by the PRC and has been de facto independent of it since 1949. Polls my the Mainland Affairs Council show an overwhelming majority of Taiwanese do not want to ruled by Beijing. Of course sovereignty is limited to what you can defend and Taiwan should do more to defend itself. As far as Ukraine goes I'm basically pro partition where the bits that are pro Russian go to Russia and the rest stays in Ukraine. Which is hardly an endorsement of Ukrainian sovereignty. I don't believe China's sovereignty extends to Taiwan.
As usual I agree with most of your takes but the Taiwan rant is flawed in so many ways! 1. It should never be independent, it was agreed between the US and China Taiwan is part of China back in the 1970's 2. It is STILL independent only because of US militarism, colonialism and most of all protection! And it will remain this way just because of US protection, just like Israel! Do you really believe that a country with a population half that of Ukraine, and a territory of under 36k sq km (18k sq miles) has any chance of self defense against a country 4 times the population of the US and the military industrial capacity of China? Russia has less population advantage than China, industrial capacity not near the chinese yet it took 50+ NATO countries with their industries and all kind of help to NOT defeat but only slow Russian advance! China has not yet taken Taiwan only because China risks an open war against the US! You talk about self defense and i get it, it's mandatory to have it. But when you look at the map and the concentration of taiwaneese urban areas/population/industry you will notice it takes like a third of the island! It's dense therefore easier to target critical infrastructure! China doesn't need land troops as long as it is capable of conducting massive air strikes. How should the taiwanese prepare temselves? Buy obsolete patriot systems? We saw the in action in Ukraine even in the capital Kiev! Israeli famous Iron dom was totally destroyed by Iran, imagine the impact of a Chinese strike with thousands of drones! Don't kid yourself, small countries are 'independent' only because they are subdued to a great political power, play their masters appointed role and "protected" for that! It's been this way for thousands of years, if you think modern reality is somewhat different you're delusional as a woke democrat! And i know you are far from those dems
Well, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were temporarily allied in 1939, the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939.It allowed Germany to attack Poland without having to worry about a Soviet attack against them, and inaugurated World War II. But, I stress it was "temporary", since Nazi Germany never intended to carry on with that alliance, it was just a ploy, and so they attacked the Soviet Union in 1941. Yes, you're right, IF Germany had Remained allied with the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany MOST DEFINITELY would have won WWII. Germany could have attacked British and French colonies in the Middle East from 1940-42, forced Saudi Arabia and Iran into their orbit, and obtained their needed oil from there.
Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the USSR was not an alliance. USSR have not guarantied Poland by any means. It was a non aggression pact and nothing more.
@@MrRatlud I didn't really mean it was a full "alliance", it was a "pact", you're right. And I agree with you 100%, poor choice of words on my part. Thanks for the heads up. Nazi Germany was just using the USSR, tricking them, so that they could later wipe them out after they knocked out France. But the little mustache man and his Nazis failed to count on the resilience of the Russian people to fight for their homeland. The Russians are a very brave people.
5:33 Is that all? You don't seem to understand much about alliance. It's everything about entanglement. 8:32 You try to catch me in a wave of anxiety when there's been nothing done aside from perception management. I doubt there's a Ukrainian still alive that still believes in the whimsical notion of Nation State by border. 9:05 It's not a new aggravation. It's the same one, that in 30 years you're likely to still believe.
Taiwan and Ukraine are separate items. The packaging of them together never made sense to me. I would sacrifice Ukraine, protect Taiwan. Taiwan is a critical long time ally, a valuable asset, whereas Ukraine was always a liability and a Deepstate money laundering den.
One correction, they are not our adversaries, we are their adversaries.
