For the “China” crowd: 1) If Taiwan is certainly part of China, then why is the word “reunification” used? 2) If Taiwan needs to be “reunified” with Taiwan, then why use the word “separatist”? 3) If “reunification” means the PRC controlling Taiwan, why? Taiwan has never been under the control of the PRC. 4) “One China policy” and “One China principle” are not the same thing. Taiwan’s lack of UN recognition doesn’t mean that countries view Taiwan as belonging to China, as all of the developed first world allows Taiwanese passport holders entry without visa requirement. 5) Yes, “China” appears in Taiwan’s official name “Republic of China.” That doesn’t mean that Taiwan should belong under PRC rule. 6) Taiwan once being part of the Qing dynasty means nothing. I suppose Austria belongs to Germany then since Austrians are ethnic Germans and that Austria was once part of Bavaria. How about parts of Poland too? 7) If China is so bothered by “outside forces” meddling in what it sees as an “internal affair,” then why does it ignore other countries’ sovereignty by spreading disinformation and committing transnational repression?

He has discounted the Japanese who have said they will help Taiwan defend itself from the PRC.. And, of course, the PRC has threatened to basically destroy Japan. So it ain't just the US and Taiwan vs the PRC anymore.

Tawanese soldier vs Chines conscript

Misinformation! Both UN and the US HAD RECOGNISED TAIWAN AS PART OF China!

China should always rethink before invading Taiwan, every little thing have their strength too

China start things with Taiwan and China needs to think about one thing, sustaining 1.4 billion ppl.

The day china goes for Taiwan..the same day n Korea goes for south korea.. usa can not save both ....

Russia thought it would be 11days war with Ukraine and then win, China is underestimating Taiwan. Guys, this will not easy.

The troops to defend Taiwan: USA = 2.080.000 Japan = 261.000 Taiwan = 169.000 Total: 2.510.000 = Troops

One World One Dream One Xi One Drone

It's not just Taiwan and America, It's Japan ,Australia , The Philippines, Vietnam, Possibly nato, and India.

Chine has millions of men who have no families of their own as there are no women for them, they could sustain for quite some time on several fronts, maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s a mess, for sure

GOD HELP TAIWAN...I SUPPORT TAIWAN...FROM PHILIPPINES

An interesting and absolutely important point is: North Korea! Nobody talks about Kim Sun Un. Does anyone think Kim will just sit back and wait to see what happens around him? He depends on China, forgotten the sanctions on his country? I can no longer listen to the absolutely stupid conclusions of the so-called “experts”. Kim is not the type of character who hesitates long before pressing the nuclear button. He will probably do this faster than any other warring party. And then God bless South Korea and Japan!! North Korea's active army is almost as large as the entire active US armed forces (Wikipedia List of countries by number of military and paramilitary personnel), not as well equipped as the US, but that doesn't mean anything, just look at what the US against the Taliban didn’t get in 20 years. And I haven't even mentioned the Russians. In a Taiwan crisis, the Europeans will first have to worry about their own security (that without enough ammunition?). Also all Taiwanese who do not want war should be included in the so-called war games. When the civilian population was polled to ask whether they preferred independence or China, the answer was clear: WE DON'T WANT WAR. And this answer came from most of the respondents. We don't know how they will behave in their own country. Nobody talks about a completely different and much more important power. For most countries, China is one of the largest, if not the largest, trading partner. Those countries who, for example, found empty shelves in supermarkets during the pandemic should remember this.

Great interview and interviewer 👍

It’s not invasion , it’s reunification. Taiwan is a province of China. USA should not interfere in China internal affair..

Its easier to find a baseball in the intire sky ...then to find one Virginia class nuclear sub in the ocean ..... not mentioning the B21s .. The B52s . .kept far away for the response

It would be next to impossible for China to even build up the size of fleet that would be needed to invade Taiwan. The U.S. Navy had 300 ships eleven of which were fleet aircraft carriers and 18 battleships when they assaulted Okinawa and that was 1944. China would need three times that to land personnel on Taiwan. They would have to commandeer every cargo ship in the country and it would take weeks and be very obvious. Not to mention the 100 miles of open ocean they would have to cross to get there and Taiwan will have hundreds of missiles and shells for everyone of them. I personally don't think China will invade but we'll see.

The war games run are available on the web for a better review of the actual details. It is not going to be simply the PRC vs. Taiwan/US.

🇨🇳🪖🤏🤏🤏

Stand for Taiwan ..

Neither of these geniuses brought up the computer chips.

If Xi and his Communist China troops really want to take Taiwan, a small island with only 23 millions population, and a territory it NEVER controlled weven one day since the communist PROC was established, while the nation of Taiwan-ROC (Republic of China) had been in existence since 1912, then let your forces come across the Taiwan Strait and see who will prevail. Taiwan-ROC never challenged Communist China but instead helped its economy to grow out of dire poververty after their disastrous first 40 years of ruling China and calamity. Now after making money with helps from Western nations including Taiwan, China wants to take over this island nation in order to take on the U.S. to be the new superpower. But China has nothing to show the world that they are both benevolent and has a political and governance system that can help the world's economy. They support periahs such as North Korea and post-Soviet Russia under another dictator Putin. These 3 nations, along with mullah-ruled Iran (which just lost its infamous President Raisi nicknamed 'Butcher') are the curse of our earth. People of Taiwan will not tolerate a vicious bandit type of neighbor like Communist China. People of Taiwan will not stand down and surrender their hard earned liberty and freedom of being a democratic nation and being part of the 'freed' world. Tyranny and aggressors must be dealt with with conviction and determination so that the tragedy of Staling, Mao, Hitler and potentially of Xi and Putin are NOT continued well into the 21st century. We the people of Taiwan till do our part and we hope the rest of peace and freedom loving nations will not risking their own people's future to would be, future aggressors on history's stages.

EVERYTHING IS TOO LATE NOW. WOULD HAVE DONE BEFORE AT LEAST TWO DECADES AGO. NO WAY POSSIBLE NOW.

The US has forgotten what would China do if China thinks its territory is under risk. Korean war is forgotten already. China would make the Americans painful enough that never think about intruding China territory in this century.

The Japanese Yonaguni military base is less than 70 milies from Taiwan. The radars there would be very useful to the Americans.

"the United States would fight to preserve taiwanese autonomy, not independence" 01:48 The devil is in the details.

Taiwan and China two country, one strait, no war

In this age of abundance of precision missiles and drones, anyone who thinks Chinese troop and supply ships would not get sunk before they reach the halfway mark of the Taiwan Straits is free to live in a fantasy world. 😩

Reminds me, i watched this guys war game right here on KZfaq, you can watch it to. He is here.

The Chinese talks with Japan and South Korea is just to tell them to stay out of the conflict.

No one talks about war without mentioning the US. Is this the US livelihood?

just ask the president of Ukraine... we stand with you...

I just wish more of the general public was aware of these things. Thats who will be affected the most regardless of where they are from or what side they are on.

If Your Neighbours Is Quarrelling,Will you walk over & side with Your Neighbour Wife or Children,will you put your Nose into their family Personal affair & Mind your own Family,in which it's falling apart as you speak..This Is Exactly what US have been doing.. Interferencing in other Home Affairs..Just get your Nose away,& poke at your own backyard, it's crumbling from within,self destruction..

No matter what you think Taiwan belongs to china

Oh wow what a great presentation😅

Did you envision that once US attack China mainland , China will attack US mainland directly rather than bases in Japan , Korea.

How do you of your USA defend Taiwan? by how?

It's US and Japan need Taiwan's protection and supports!

I have a theory why the US (& Japan) do not want Taiwan to declare independence. At the moment the Taiwan Strait has open waters allowing freedom of navigation. If Taiwan were to declare independence, then the PRC and Taiwan's Exclusive Economic Zones would overlap therefore the Taiwan Straight would no longer have open waters. Just a thought.

Educate yourself first. Taiwan is a province name of China. In constitutions of PRC and ROC, they claim both Chinese Mainland and Taiwan as their territory.

Just as Hitler and Napoleon could not invade England, nor will China be able to conquer Taiwan despite the inbalance of military might.

Ukraine is doing a "good job" with all the support promised and delivered.

It will be the Normandy of the 21st century.

One Belt One Road One Country One Virus

Ask him about the American homeland being attacked?

When did chinas north western borders expand further west?

Don't go to War against US ,NATO and the Democratic Nation's Be love Peace, freedom, liberty and Democracy God Bless the Democratic World 🗺

It will be huge failure for chinese

Autonomy / Independence Talk about mincing words! Yeah, Taiwan has been defacto independent for over half a century already.

Never give up Taiwan and Photos

So my question is if one of the state of us comes to say they want to separate from united States and china comes to support them will it sound well witj the us?

PLA’s biggest regret would be when it decides to go to war over Taiwan. No matter how much it has done to upgrade its military, China could not compete with America. It can try, but it will surely regret later.

Best defense is a strong offense.

2 years time? Rumour has it is happening in June next month!

How Taiwan And US Will Defend Against China's Attacks | The War Zone I think the question should be the other way around. How will tsina invade Taiwan with the US defending Taiwan. tsina has a very big problem they cannot solve, the US Navy and Air Force.

I’m a USA navy mom and I’m scared for my son

The UN,The US, Britain,Japan,Germany, France, Australia and their allies quickly defended the Allies of Taiwan and the Philippines against the "threat of expansion and invasion of the CCP zombies"🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇦🇺🇯🇵!(!(!(;!(&(!

They need the WEST to show up

This guy talks war like most people talk weather.

Japan and philippines will defend taiwan

the answer is simple: in YT

My condolences to 🇹🇼 family my friend..

Taiwan is an island, more than 70% of its GDP comes from trading which heavily relies on mainland China as more than 40% of its exportation is to the mainland, and yet the Taiwanese government has forbidden importing up to 2500 products from the mainland. In the ten years from 2014 to 2023 alone, Taiwan Province has a trade surplus of US$1.26 trillion from mainland China. Since TSMC was banned from dealing with Huawei, Taiwan has almost nothing to offer to the mainland, so it is not that mainland China relies on Taiwan. It is the great China (mainland China) that has been supporting small Taiwan. Taiwan is part of China, it doesn't do well without China.

Taiwan is still very strong if she can invest in compulsory Military training for all it's citizens once they attain 18 years and also investing heavily by increasing number of Military Personal, Military technology and Military infrastructure.

Peace 🕊️✌🏾 for the one God One word

People in the world must stop war please they try many different things please stop ✋️ war stop fighting please 😊

taiwan formerly formosa, 3000 BC where austronesian lives there was originaly not part of china.

I would like to know what will USA do if China is supplying weapons to Hawaii and will send army to fight against US for their independence. On the other hand, declaring that Hawaii is part of USA sovereignty.

What is d point for all these war 😢, killing innocent civilians for ego sake 😢😢😢

Taiwan will defend against China by looking towards the US. The US will defend against China by sending Taiwan weapons. Taiwan will then look at China and then proceed to raise the white flag.

We will help Taiwan 🇹🇼 Defense

The real problem are forces expanding their military might around the world...

🇹🇼🤝🇺🇸 🥾🇨🇳

O so many ways to stop an avoid .but you make the rules you have to do what U got to do .

China really need to be taught a lesson

The Taiwan issue has absolutely nothing to do with the United States. This is equivalent to California wanting to become independent, but the United States does not agree, and then China sends troops to help California become independent. Don’t you Americans feel dirty?

America should stop the Bull crap and get out of Taiwan b4 it's too late 😮

Taiwan has the technology to acquire nuclear weapons on its own regardless of what china or america thinks. If taiwan had a way of taking out the three gorge dam , china would think twice about any adventures they have in mind for taiwan i

No discussion of TSMC?

Taiwan is being surrounded just at this very moment!

The West may miscalculate on the issue of Moscow's use of tactical nuclear weapons (TNW), wrote Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council.

I am a Chinese born and live in Hong Kong. What I would say is that reuniting Taiwan is the common will of all Chinese people. You Americans and some westerners like to interfere other people's home affairs. I dare you to try to do so if for some reasons we Chinese have to resort to military action in order to achieve unification. We are not Iraq, Yemen etc.

Dream on if you think Taiwan is safe until 2027.

Taiwan is a province of China as 181 of the 193 countries recognize！🎉🎉🎉

Taiwan operate independently is akin to a child being independent but still remains in a family! Get it!

Taiwan people are happy because America is going to bring home less poverty in Taiwan and crimes in there countries 😮😮😮😢

Not believe it's Chinese territory. What US business in China's internal affairs.

What is the role of Un, has decided that Taiwan is part of China and one China policy was adopted. Why is it now that people have to die for something that has been resolved by UN. Strangely UN is silent now. As peoples of the world we have to appreciate and value life and respect UN resolutions and the territorial integrity of other countries regardless of their size.

Wait and see who will be the best of them but as long as possible avoid war make peace withier your in chna side or taiwan us side

Hindi bago ang gawain ng mga ganid ang predection . Tandaan ninyo ito kapag nagsimula sila ng labis na lumusob kayo ng buong lakas sa ibabaw ng batong ito.

US has opened too many war fronts. Especially when Israeli-Palestinian war can be easily resolved, but US does not want to.

Don't take any risk against china

This comes down to economics, and whom controls the computer chip industry!

Does Tiawan have any missiles with a range of 750 miles to take out the Three Gorges Dam?

This girl need to go in the front line and then come back and talk tough on fighting.

The lamest war game in the history of games 😂😂😂😂😂

What about Palestine gaza

Trump we/ I need you !! With trump we will not go to war
