  • Tiawan is the last bastion of democracy as China no foreign influence there, home grown democracy. Its chinese people who fought for democracy and for the last 80 or so years the communist party has been trying to snuff that flame.

    Geopolitically the Taiwan strait is an extremely valuable water way. If one were to idk want to go to war with china having a convenient island and waterway like that under your control is a very powerful position.

    Tiawan has fortified all beaches that could be invaded and an invasion fleet takes 3 hours from mainland to those beaches. Taiwan has to hold out until the allies (pretty much every country that doesnt like to be bullied by chinese policies) can reach them and provide support.

    Diplomatically no one has ties with taiwan because that would cause instant war if that was the case. So most countries have an under the table relationship with tiawan because they are just as important of a country to have relations as china. At least taiwan wont try to steal your tech.

    It's in the free worlds best intrest to keep taiwan from china.

    In fact I think war planners around the world are thankful china wants to play the invasion card. That gives us defenders a better position for who's the good guy game. The aggressive state or the countries wanting to keep a sovereign nation it's right to independence from a country that's been practically chanting of its genocide and conquest.

    With a war like that we could bend china into an even weaker state before it can gets its navy up to a real threat level. Knock it down a few pegs on the superpower status. Plus probably take down its south china sea holdings.

    • I agreee with all that. I dont see war with china likely at all because it would destroy both economies. The US manufactures there and China uses the US to stay afloat also. The USA has built China into the superpower it is. We just need to show strength here like China is doing. I dont like how the US politicians seem to be walking around with their tail between their legs when it comes to Taiwan. Should put troops on the ground and say Taiwan has invited us there to ensure sovereignty. China is not gonna invade Taiwan with US troops there. They look after their interests too much to do that.
      Did you hear the interview by Chinas ambassador with Australia?
