you

Wow its Ku!!!!!

This video’s incorrect in many ways, just in the first 3 minutes! like saying Taiwan “self-declared Republic of China”, and “declared succession”, both of which are factually incorrect. Mistake #1: The Republic of China (ROC) was declared on mainland China in 1911 by the Kuomintang regime when it overthrew the Qing Dynasty. The connection of Taiwan to ROC is due to World War II when the Allies including ROC won over Japan, and made Japan give up Taiwan, which it legitimately received through the 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki when Japan won a war against Qing China. In 1945, when Taiwan was “returned” or “retrocessed” to the then “China” (meaning the ROC), the legitimacy of this action in international law is still disputed, and is a basis of the supporters of “Taiwan Independence”, disputed because the ROC unilaterally declared that the previous Treaty of Shimonoseki was to be void because Qing China signed it under force. However, you know you cannot cancel a treaty or contract just because you said you were “forced”. When you lose a war you were made to give up something. It’s like losing a bet. Then you had to pay up. You don’t say, 50 years later, you have another situation when you win over the other person on a totally different issue, then declare, without checking with the other person, the thing you lost and signed over to him, and just say oh it’s mine again, right? Number 2 mistake: “declared succession “. First of all “succession” is a wrong word. The correct vocabulary is “secession”. Taiwan NEVER declared secession from “China”, either the ROC or the PRC (People’s Republic of China, the one people now think of as *China”). The fact is that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) declared the establishment of PRC on mainland China in Oct. 1949, which in itself is the secession of mainland China from the ROC, which at the time included mainland and Taiwan. So it is the CCP who seceded mainland China from ROC, so mainland China are the actual “rebel provinces”, rather than Taiwan, and the CCP are the rebels who started the revolution that broke apart what they now claim as the “holy and inseparable territory of China” which must be kept whole, when they’re the one who held the knife so to speak… 😂

50 Reasons Why China always wants to Invade Taiwan. Breaking up China is good for the world. TO divide China (PRC) into 5 or more countries, human societies can become peaceful and happy. More and more Chinese who live in Democratic Countries Comprehend the opinion and support it. The Communist Party of China is the biggest trouble maker on the earth. IF China is divided into 5 or more countries, the new governments need good laws to hold the population, which makes the human right of the Chinese go up.

@@jonasbarbury4013 Do you have any knowledge of history between China and Japan? If Japan dares to harm China once again, what do you think will happen? You guys have no basic understanding of countries that you "don't like". Russia has been repeated invaded by the west since Rome time. You still believe that the pressure from the west will bend the Russian? Similarly, if west think Japan can be a good enemy of China because of its industry, please, think again.

There is no stalemate....there are 2 million Taiwanese, some entire three generation families living in mainland China. Your choice of word is ludicrous.

those Chinese were traitors, and deserved to be shot. China will reclaim Taiwan in due time. It's an inevitability. Mostly likely via economic means, if not that military invasion. Taiwan is not of core strategic interest to the states. It is however a national interest for 1.4 billion Chinese. Even those who live over seas outside of china. There is no stopping china on this. When faced with existential threats, populations will suffer greatly to endure an outcome of eventual victory. Taiwan is one of those for the Chinese. Hence china has demonstrated Enormous patience when it came to reunification. China waited 100 years for the Hong Kong treaty to expire before taking over. it "honored" colonial unfair treaties that were signed before the CCP even was a thing. Hong Kong was ceded for 150 years. Taiwan has only been 70 years. so there is plenty of time.

I second what you say. Some young taiwanese were conscripted into the Japanese military during the war. Because of this , some couldn't return to their own country after the war because they had fought for the then enemy. A very complicated situation where families were torn apart simply because the men did their duty.

Thank you so much🥺!

I think it’s the opposite. China’s economy will fall apart when the demographic crisis hits. When this happens, it will be impossible for China to support a war. They can’t even heat their homes without Australian coal. They can’t afford to go to war when their economy is on the way down.

Bullshit lmao

@@Zei33 Agreed. Unless the top brass of the CCP are a bunch of lunatics, they wont support any kind of military campaign against Taiwan. Even US got sick of dumping their money in the Mideast eventually, and they were fighting guerilla fighters.

ITT: Assuming the CCP aren't lunatics, not knowing that internal struggles promote war as a way to vent discontent by uniting the people against a common external enemy, and not knowing that China's economy will collapse, sinking the global economy.

Yes. China is very patient and will play the long game. It is not in China’s interests to invade Taiwan at this stage. By delaying an attack it increases its military strength and perhaps as you say hopes international resistance will waiver. Already the west has fallen into the trap of believing its own propaganda that all the countries in the area will pile in against China believing that China is hated by everyone. The west doesn’t understand the Asian mind. The disputes over the islands for instance have been going on for decades. Singapore, Sth Korea, Indonesia, Pakistan, Phillipines have China as their main trading partner that doesn’t sound like hatred. Sth Korea and Singapore have already said they wont go to war against China. If Sth Korea were to go against China and Nth Korea came in with China, sth Korea runs the risk of being wiped out by its northern nuclear armed neighbour and how long would it take to disable Singapore?

那就开sha戒好了

That’s the problem, communist countries have no problem killing innocent people when it comes to war, if US killed a bunch of innocent people during a war with China then alot of people in the US and all over the world would be angry, but if China did the same they would most likely they won’t get the same backlash, that is why going to war with even NK is risky because Kim will easily kill innocent lives by bombing cities like Seoul

Wow that's awesome I must say

Especially when you look at the map again and again, why does this has something to do with the US? Where the FK is US? Why are people okay with the US military expansion, which stretched all the way across the pacific ocean, but not okay with China expending its defence line in front of China's gates?

When the allies attacked both Sicily and Normandy in WW2, they did so after ensuring that their aerial and naval preponderance was massive. They dominated in the sky with thousands of planes and over the seas with thousands of ships. Both Germany's and Italy's efforts in those armaments had been practically reduced to nothing. Seaborne invasions could then take place. This is a chess game in which China suffers from many disadvantages especially if Taiwan were to take its own self-defence seriously enough to train its population to fight in its own island state's defence. China cannot start to reduce any single armament that Taiwan possesses unless it engages in open warfare, whether it calls it by some absurd name as Putin has done or another or nothing at all. The moment that that happens, China will find itself assaulted by Japan, the USA, Australia, probably the rest of NATO and possibly India. So China has to concentrate all its Taiwan invasion force on a narrow front, which concentration will give itself away right on for China's enemies have their eyes on her from space, so that a military buildup would be spied, same as Putin's was and would give defence ample time. But China would have to look out and defend other areas of its shoreline. Moreover, a massive amount of its economy and its people are easily reachable by her enemies' airpower and China itself could be subject to a seaborne invasion given the massive force projection of aircraft carriers and their powerful air wings. Right on, China will lose trading with all its enemies and its economy will stutter both in reduced income from sales as well as in raw materials required for production, from which it will be starved. China would be infiltrated and disaffected nationalities and creeds within her would be urged to rebel and secede fromt the majority Han population. The invasion force itself would easily need 5 hours to cross during which time it would be pummelled by surface ships, submarines and airforces with the Taiwanese reinforced by others ready to give any remaining landing forces the firing welcome of their life. China needs to weigh this extremely risky operation against the very present possibilities that it might lose, might lose big and all its government might find itself attacked internally, because the myth of its unbeatability would have vanished. If I were China I would continue to grow and live in peace, prospering with each passing year. Rest assured that America would resist China over Taiwan. The best reasoning for saying that is that America would much better prefer to wage war on China from Taiwan and Japan, having whole populations and their territories and materials and military power behind her back than let China win and consolidate leaving America open to even more attacks from China and having to defend from her Hawaiian shoreline. Russia will not move to help China militarily as the European side of NATO will put Russia in checkmate, North Korea neither as South Korea will chew it up and spit it out. Pakistan neither, as India will use the aggravation as an excuse to invade either Pakistan or China or both. I see China as in a very weak military situation, which is reflective of its weak international political position. America/Europe/Taiwan/South Korea/India are very populous, very rich and very technologically advanced nations, not to mention The Philippines as a base (population 110,000,000) and Australia is technologically on a parity with the USA/Europe and though having a small population, has a territory that is very minerally rich and bigger than the size of India. China is already noticing that with just some military hardware aid to Ukraine, Russia has lost around 50,000 troops and 100,000 wounded fighting an average army that it attacked from across the border without having had to cross any sea. Imagine what will happen to China when it is not only hit by western military hardware but the West starts fighting there with its own soldiers/sailors and pilots. Chinese had for many years a single child policy. There will be millions of ageing Chinese families with their single boy lost. And it will not finish there, for wars have their own devil driving them. China will be invaded and be defeated same as Hitler was and same as Japan was defeated. There will be a military presence and China will be politically re-educated into a democracy, as there is a chance that Russia will if Putin would be stupid enough to touch Nato territory.

@@emanuelgaldes3515 what a load of speculative rubbish. Are you a military expert, or just some one who thinks he knows it all? It appears your expert knowledge wasn’t used in Afghanistan.

​@@Rovingdog628my friend, China has a lot of ships indeed. However most of these ships aren't blue water capable, meaning they can't reach anywhere close to the US coast(some can, most can't). And by blockade, I doubt the OP was referring to a naval blockade in the WW2 ship sense(though nuke subs could do that no problem) but in more of a air and missile threat blockade(I:e putting aircraft with aire to sea missiles, or using military bases in the area with land to sea missiles) stop shipping. All of this for a blockade of energy, which has one of the longest supply routes that would be very easy to disrupt far from China's border.

And, it should be noted that most of the Chinese ports are located in a concentrated area in the Southeast. Also, theses ports are surrounded by guns pointing at them from Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, India, the Philippines and Australia - the latter which patrols the area in US supplied nuclear subs. Those ports could not operate if all those who fear China turn against them in a war.

China is very much fine risking millions in military lives.

Yeah, it would be a catastrophic war on all sides. Brutal, deadly on a huge scale, and costly. And if the US, Japan and others tried to defend Taiwan, that would add even more to the cost in lives lost and economic damage. And of course, in the latter event, it would be difficult to continue to conduct trade with a country (i.e., China) that would have to be moved from 'strategic competitor' to 'enemy'.

Internal stability is pretty much it's #1 priority. Even in authoritarian regimes like the CCP, power still lies within the people and their ability to keep the people happy and content with their ordinary lives. A major crisis or loss of lives will probably cause a response depending on how good CCP media can cover it up, but death tolls in millions as well as economic impacts will show.

A very strong inhibitor is the fact that they are all Han Chinese people with relatives on both sides. They all ultimately share the same culture and ancestry and no one wants to kill one another.

The US hasn't won a war since WW1. Russia defeated Natzi Germany on the eastern front...and the list of surrenders by the US from Korea and Vietnam to Afghanistan speaks volumes. NATO is currently losing to Russia....and if you combine Russia and China's militaries....you get well over 6 million soldiers. The US has no allies beyond NATO.
