Will China envade Taiwan?

Do yourself a favor and turn of the news.

I do not think China will try to invade Taiwan until the US has setup a TSCM full fleged plant of semiconductors in the US. Then the US will choose some retard like Trump again who will not care about it and will just let it  invade Taiwan because whatever stupid reason. So no, not while NVIDIA is making billions in profit from the US and artificial intelligence requires graphics cards, there is no problem with that scenario.

Do you think China is employing the Art of War methods where they want to win the war without engaging, and this is by showing how powerful they are and how they are ready to engage?
It's like intimidating and sowing fears and letting their potential target be the first to engage. Taiwan is not likely to get provoked based on their actions; they are also ready to engage, and if the United States has a stake here and China is fully aware of this, then there will be a status quo, and it's more like becoming a waiting game for both sides.

China has a goal..take Taiwan back into the fold and control the future of AI. Semiconductors have become as important as oil. If China took Taiwan, it would be like giving them control of 90% of the world's oil supply. China would control the "NEW" world of networks. On August 1, 1941, the United States put an oil embargo on Japan and then froze Japanese assets. On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and the U.S. entered World War 2.

I'm sure the United States is fully aware of this and they will do everything just to stop this. If China were really very eager to do that, they would have done so now, but they are waiting to be triggered; they don't want to be the first one to take the first shot.
I don't think it will end in Taiwan; the West Philippine Sea has become a bigger issue, the Philippine government has been hounded by threats almost daily, and China has used all the bullying tactics on the Philippine fishermen and their navy ships, but the Philippines is not the kind of country that will start the war unless the full commitment of the US and countries around the region is guaranteed.
China has the button to start a war, but they are still considering the impact on their economy if many nations turn against them.

China does have that power now but they cannot be reckless for their sovereignty, the US deliberately approached countries in conflict with China to stop the Chinese invasion and put pressure on China so as not to get too big because countries like Vietnam, Taiwan and others have a strategic enough function to build strength especially when China needs a place for its increasing population, they are lacking space, and yes technological competition is getting tighter, seeing Vietnam getting better and better and supported by the US, China should not start an arms war with a country that has now strengthened its economy.

I just saw in the news today that tensions between Taiwan and China are rising, and it could even lead to war. I’m worried because the report said Taiwan is really close to my country (the Philippines), and we have a lot of OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) there. If war breaks out, it’s almost impossible for the Philippines not to get involved as we’d have to evacuate and protect our OFWs affected by the conflict. What do you think will happen?

Will China actually attack Taiwan? And if they do, how would this impact Taiwan’s economy and neighboring countries caught in the fallout?

A breakout of war will distabilize your region because both countries are major players in Southeast Asia. Job losses lead to poverty and increase in crime. Most people never believed that Russia would invade Ukraine. Most people thought that the presence of Russian army was a joke in the border towns was a joke until they began to attack Ukraine.

However, I do not see any sign of a major escalation between China and Taiwan. Nations have been rattled by US tariffs that they are focusing on their economy. China will not want to bear the huge cost of fighting wars. At least they have seen how Russia is struggling to curtail Ukraine; China will not want to go through the same problem.

I really hope that doesn’t happen because I don’t even know how our country would handle being dragged into a war. China is already an economic superpower, they don’t need to invade anyone. But who knows what they’re thinking? The more powerful a country becomes, the greedier it tends to get. That’s what worries me.

There is one factor that could make such a conflict inevitable in the future: China has never recognized Taiwan's independence or acknowledged a country called "Taiwan." They consider Taiwan a breakaway province and what they are doing is just annexing and unifying the country under the "One China" policy, they do not call it invasion.

That probably won't happen in the near future as they are busy fighting the US in the tariff war as well as focusing on building their economy to become the largest economy in the world (surpassing the US). Once that is achieved, they will turn around and annex Taiwan.

So it's all just the threat of what China is possibly doing. I'm thinking that China is all set on taking Taiwan anytime, or they just want Taiwan to do a compromise deal like admitting they are a province of China but have an independence like Hong Kong.
China's threat against Taiwan is like an archer aiming an arrow at the target; it's harder for the archer to aim it than to release the arrow, so if they cannot take it anymore or have seen an opportunity, they will attack Taiwan because it's costly to maintain those ships hovering near Taiwan for many months.

The US is fully aware and know that Taiwan will be taken and it is only a matter of time. It may happen suddenly and by surprise and difficult decisions will be made that will impact not only the lives of people in the countries directly involved but around the whole globe. God willing it does not happen but then again the dragon may not be doing the will of God. It is now the setting for the perfect storm that will bring about global war so let us hope it can be somehow prevented.

I choose to believe not.

[Shova]

The downfall of west was predicted and even though there are efforts to rejuvenate the western world, they are so divided that they'd rather destroy themselves rather then come together for a solution. With the western world already placing sanctions and heavy tariffs on China, it could be considered a good time for them to proceed with the planned invasion. But China is a long term planner and could look for more advantageous position or ways to take Taiwan.

[aioc]

I choose to believe not.

I hope no one among the generals of China managing the fleet posting against Taiwan will bet yes and trigger an assault so he wins the bet  , but seriously, China may be posing a threat, but they still cast fear in that region. The Taiwanese and foreign workers are already used to it.
But we never know if China will suddenly change their approach and attack Taiwan; we really can't tell until it happens, and countries should be prepared for any eventuality.

[coolcoinz]

For china it's a business matter and the CCP will simply compare pros and cons. Right now there's more cons because Taiwan is ready to go all in and die defending its freedom, so they'd get an empty shell, ruined by bombs and possibly nuclear fallout. There's not much to gain from this but pride. China still has some better targets and things to do with the army.

For instance, it doesn't need to test the army because if it did it could help Russia in Ukraine, but there's too many cons to that decision. Therefore I doubt they will attack, unless they see a weakness, an opening, or are pushed against the wall by some events.

Even if they are not planning to attack, they will still be relentless in their threat just to make Taiwan aware that they are ready to occupy Taiwan when the right time comes. I don't think they will retreat or pause their military activity. They have so much pride because they have been targeting Taiwan for decades and they have the capability now.

... I doubt they will attack, unless they see a weakness, an opening, or are pushed against the wall by some events.

The event that China is waiting to happen is for Taiwan to fire the first shot so they will have the reason to attack and justify their action, the same thing that China wants the Philippine government to do in their rift in the West Philippine Sea.

i doubt they will win it this way to be honest taiwan does not seem to be that intimidated even if most people believe china is a lot stronger in all aspects than taiwan therefore giving them better chances at winning at a war against taiwan but i also believe taowam can fight and they will not just go down without one so it may come down to an actual war and not end with mental tactics

China has a doctrine called Total Competition.Total Competition has one goal..to make China the world’s #1 economic superpower…by any means necessary.










This is Nvidia’s latest AI chip.



.......made in Taiwan.



Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, and Nvidia…AKA “The Magnificent Seven”…Rely on TSMC and other Taiwanese firms to supply chips for everything from AI to laptops to cars…Those seven firms make up one-third of the value of the entire S&P 500.


Now what do you think is going to happen to this big chart when China invades taiwan? Well TPTB will ensure the S&P 500 gets a "reset" for a start.

The world is fully aware of what China wants to achieve and their intention toward Taiwan is very evident, but something bigger that the world should be aware of is the West Philippine Sea, which China is spending a lot of money and resources to control. This is the mineral reserves and potential oil reserves, to the point that they are willing to go for an attack.

Just recently the Philippine military briefed the press about underwater drone found by fishermen from 2022 to 2024

The drones were discovered between 2022 and 2024 in locations "important strategically in the defence and the security not only of the country but for international maritime navigation", Philippine military officials told reporters at a briefing on Tuesday.

Their data collection served purposes "beyond navigation", according to Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad, who said the information could be used for "underwater warfare", detecting threats and testing weaponry below the surface.

These are two serious problems that neighboring countries should focus on. They need to support the Philippines to stop the Chinese interference in the Philippine Sea.


Captured underwater drone sent messages to China: Philippine military

These are two serious problems that neighboring countries should focus on. They need to support the Philippines to stop the Chinese interference in the Philippine Sea.

But can they really take that risk?
China once said that whoever interferes will get burned, and that’s a serious threat.
Let’s be real, China has powerful weapons that could easily defeat a small country. We definitely don’t want that kind of conflict.

That’s why we take a diplomatic approach, since there are many Filipino-Chinese in our country, and any tension could affect them too.
We simply can’t afford to go into a losing battle ..
