They can take Taiwan, they just can't *have* Taiwan.
Taking Taiwan would mean an annihilation of everything that makes it valuable. Their tech infrastructure would be turned to rubble, their skilled professionals would flee the moment they get the chance, 100,000's of civilians would die
China can't have Taiwan as it is now, the war would ruin it. The only reason they would invade would be to keep Taiwan from leaving the Chinese sphere. Like an insane BPD girlfriend killing her ex-boyfriend. >"If I can't have him, no one can"
They only tried one half assed attempt and would have succeeded if Kennedy had any balls. And they’re still occupying a part of Cuba (guantamino bay). Also I don’t see the Taiwanese desperately trying to escape to mainland China.
Its generally accepted that the US WILL back Taiwan. It's not a bait, it's already a de facto thing that China is accounting for. That's exactly why they haven't tried taking Taiwan yet.
>That's exactly why they haven't tried taking Taiwan yet.
Nope. The reason is the US haven't officially recognized Taiwan as a country yet. China want the US to be the initiator of the war.
Also, China is building a tons of large surface combatant instead of landing ships; those are not for Taiwan. China will only attack Taiwan if US is on the table.
>China only wants Taiwan if it can go to war with the US
What kind of cope even is this? All China has to do if it wants a war is take Taiwan. That's it. Just go ahead and reach for it.
Why don't the US take Cuba?
Seriously, the moment US acknowledge Taiwan as a country, the War will start.
Taiwan is a bait for the US.
Because nobody wants all those Cubans voting. Taking clay has connotations for the US that are non-existent in an authoritarian state, namely the people there get to vote.

what did he mean by this
>MacArthur reportedly told Truman that he was confident of early success in the North Korean offensive, and that he no longer feared Chinese intervention. >Just 10 days later, the Chinese army, which had been secretly massing at the border, made its first attack on the allies. In the days that followed, the allies' headquarters received intelligence that Chinese forces were hidden in the North Korean mountains, but this was disregarded. >The Chinese troops withdrew, and the allies interpreted these initial skirmishes as simply defensive. Undeterred, General MacArthur ordered a bold offensive on 24 November to push right up to the Yalu River, which marked the border between North Korea and north-east China. >He optimistically hoped this would finish the war and allow the troops "home by Christmas". But it was instead to mark yet another turning point in the conflict. The next day, about 180,000 Chinese "volunteers" attacked. >A shocked MacArthur told Washington: "We face an entirely new war." >He ordered a long and humiliating retreat - performed in sub-zero temperatures - which took the troops below the 38th parallel by the end of December. >As Chinese troops unleashed a renewed offensive, the allies were forced to withdraw south of Seoul in January 1951. Here, in the relatively open terrain of South Korea, the UN troops were better able to defend themselves. After a few more months of fighting, the front eventually stabilised in the area of the 38th parallel.
The world's first military superpower gets humiliated by chinks in Korea who had no tanks, Air Force nor Artillery (only light infantry):
https://www.bbc.com/news/10162993
But we slaughtered the chinks and pushed them back with ease, despite the fact that China shared a land border with Korea and had numerical superiority. The only reason we stopped is because the President was afraid of MacArthur’s popularity. The bugs got beat handily, no matter how desperately you turd world era and fifth columnists squeal
>pushed back with ease >spent years trying to just get back to the 38th Parallel.
Pick one. Macarthur was a princess you got thousands of men killed for his hubris.
Lol, it took a couple months to reach the 38th, and then the third, fourth, and fricking fifth offensives mounted by CHINA NUMBA WON were crushed. 1 million screaming bugs getting slaughtered continually.
>be china >back north korean invasion of south korea >massive human wave attacks >die in massive numbers >fail to assist north korea in taking the south despite overwhelming manpower advantage >south korea gains land at the end of the war and north korea loses land

>philippines is the poorest and has the weakest militaries in asia
china just flat out tramples them >america shoots down an aliexpress chink balloon
china does nothing except seethe
if you're a poor country like the philippines, you may as well find a way to acquire nukes
The chinese navy, especially its militarized fishing navy, is the greatest scourge on this planet's oceans since the nazi uboats. My hot take: sink every chinese warship and fishing vessel that leaves chinese waters until they agree to stop. If they do it again, continue.
Nuclear superpowers can do what they please. Cope and seethe nukelets
>claims to be superpower
>cant take taiwan
what did he mean by this
Taiwan's growing fifth column will swing the tide soon
just 336 more hours!
Suuure.
And I'm certain provocations like this will make the "one china" section more popular.
The election in 2024 is gonna go great for them
What about Afghanistan?
afghanistan was taken in a couple of months

>"If I can't have him, no one can"
They couldn't even take a tiny island that's just off their coast. They're not taking Taiwan.

Cuba isn't part of the US.

What do you mean they can't take Taiwan?
What is Taiwan called? The Republic of China.
Who inhabits Taiwan? The Chinese.
The Chinese have already taken Taiwan.

Hapanda why do you talk about only one battle and not the mass slaughter of chinks that happened afterwards?

lasers shouldnt even be used in war, let alone peace time.
How do you protect yourself from this?
Removing China from the map
Sink it.
Launch torpedoes and sink the frickers
Philippine government has been bought out by China so they are emboldened to pull stunts like these.
If you're a sailor/semen and you see your politicians in bed with China why bother doing your job?
America should send in Filipino-American assets to take over the Philippine government.
>watch the video
>it looks like a shitty Amazon green laser pointer
It's literally nothing

>china does nothing except seethe
China sanctioned Raytheon and LockMart
Oh nooooooooooo now they won't have access to glowBlack person toys they never had access to anyways!
Those companies can't make airplane and missiles without Chinese parts and equipments
You wish that was true.
>Verification not required.
You're going to have to try harder than that
are you moronic? It's literally in the news.
i'm so tired of chinks and their 9 dash line bullshit
that's literally a laser pointer.
