While it would be a tempting time for China to do it --- they do know that if it escalated into conflict, a "win" would be defined as both China and America being drained beyond recognition and that's perhaps not their endgame.


IN the end.....China will take Taiwan the way you always take a country: THRU THEIR LIBERALS AND NOBLES.

The academics, Big Business folk....will be bought or lulled into allowing a de facto Chinese takeover.

No different than here in America: It's the Liberals and Club 401K'ers who were fine with giving away sovereignty, and want to give away even more.

If you want to take over a country, do it thru their Liberals. Their Snobs. Their Sellouts.



And also do it by pitting one tribe against another. European Empires did that to ancient civilizations with great success. Now, as America stops being a country, and is visibly becoming tribal, we already see foreign powers using one tribe over the other.

Yes, you people and your "democracy!" is heading downward, it will never ever improve. Hope you can level off at best.
