My friend Iran attacked American base and nothing happened, Russia and China are untouchable, if they are not let America be the first to strike and see wonderful things, they will teach America a big lesson.

Masterito:
Saying US will do nothing makes you a clown. China will never invade Taiwan without US approval else China will see real war. All these statements and show of force by the Chinese na noise. The fact US military aircraft just landed in Taiwan and China did nothing but issue warning should educate you properly.

CooKeed:


Nothing happened? Really?

CooKeed:


Worshipping America is one thing. Talking facts is an entirely different thing.

World powers come and go. There was the time of the British, the Romans, the French etc. Right now it is the time of the US. We have to admit that the US is by far the greatest military power at this present time. And it looks like they will be for a long, long time.

If you're referring to the recent attack earlier this month, then I'd say we have to wait and see. Thankfully, no lives were lost it that attack, I believe.

But I will remind you that when Iran attacked the US embassy in Baghdad in December 2019 the US killed Iran's military general. Not just a random general, but someone who is considered a right hand man to their ruler. And then Iran mistakenly shut down an Ukrainian passenger plane.

Oh yes..That reputational damage is what is still holding China back. And at this point i believe China does not care. China has offered the one-country two systems but Taiwan has refused it. A formal move towards independence is what China won't accept. China has signaled that.

You believe U.S. would go to war against China over Taiwan? When Taiwan sealed a mutual defence treaty with U.S in 1954 America gave the country conditions. Kinmen and Matsu Islands were not part of the defence provision so China was able to shell them at will during the 2nd Taiwan strait crisis, America told Chiang Kai Shek it won't come to Taiwan defence if it was Taiwan that attacked China first. There was a time Chian Kai-Shek was urging America to help him take China back but U.S. refused all because it was avoiding a military entanglement with China. Not that U.S feared China but it believed a war with China over Taiwan does not worth it and China was not even a military power then.

Taiwanese leaders are not even sure if U.S. would come to their rescue. And I believe China is not ready to invade now all these military drills and threat are attempt to coerce Taiwan into accepting the one-country two systems.

Exactly bro. The world was actually sleeping when the US was working over night to create this web of strategies. Even the US mainland is far away from China or Russia's reach. Not every their so called hypersonic missile can hit any target of American soil owing to the distance. Sometimes I laugh when some ignorant folks on nairaland bring up their wack analysis of how China and Russia will decimate the West.

USA, The Sleeping Giant aka Nomerica is on its way down. The Present leadership of America is there to pilot the Fall and Destruction of Babylon the Great. America today has turned its back on GOD and GOD has turned His back on Her.

The Countries I pity are the Countries looking to America to Help them. They will be Dissapponted. The US will not be able to help itself talkless of others.

How did America make China that fought off the chains Of the Western bloc that Africa is in currently what she is?

America is capitalist.

China is capitalist.

Government is abstract; the people are the manifestations of the government. For the companies to start exploring and investing in China, the American government gave a go ahead order. It's not just a decision made individually. Some companies in the earlier times even enjoyed incentives for such investment.

America gained from it, China developed from it. It could be argued that China made more out of it, which ain't bad.

So as I said earlier, America opened up China.

Sprumbaba:


Yes, in 2024. Over your dead body.

dermmy:
The western hypocritical nations that have violated international laws and annexed lands that don't belong to them before and after the age of international law are now acting as saints. America agreed that Taiwan and China is one country under the Shanghai Communique that U.S. president Richard Nixon signed with China during his visit to the country in 1972.

China has every right to take Taiwan but i would just advice Xi JinPing to forget this irredentist ambition and move on.

We don't pray for war, we want peace to reign in the world, we love UK but China and Russia are invincible as of now

RedEnergy:
China hypersonic missiles range is under 3,000km maximum currently. Distance from China to USA is over 11,000km. China can never hit USA mainland soil with any missile from China, unless they deploy it from a fighter jet, but do you think USA with all the military bases it has all across Asia in different allies countries with high tech radars monitoring their airspace 24/7 will allow China fighter jets to pass through and come anywhere near enough to bomb American soil? It's not going to happen. In WW1 and WW2, not 1 single bomb was dropped on US soil, because America is out of reach. And that principle is what the US military has built its war strategy on till today. Highest China can do is to bomb some US military bases in the Asia-Pacific region and attack US military forces there but they can't get to America. But mainland China is 100% within reach of American bombs, including Nuclear and MOAB bombs. Because America has its forces all across asia and can deploy WMD's into that region very easily with its stragetic partnership with its allies close to China. How can you defeat America if you can't even bomb American soil and cities? 2 nuclear bombs dropped on Japan made them surrender, but even without the Nuclear bombs, America was already bombing Japan in their country but not 1 single Japanese bomb reached American mainland soil. Highest their enemy can do is to bomb external US districts, but not the main continental USA. China cannot defeat America. They can only bark and bark but they will 100% avoid a war with USA.

dermmy:


U.S. won't do nothing if China invades Taiwan the only thing it can do is send Taiwan equipments. Ask yourself this question is U.S. willing to engage a Peer-Nuclear power over a small Island that it does not have sovereign right over? The mutual defence treaty between U.S and Taiwan Sino-American Mutual Defence Treaty was terminated by President Jimmy Carter in 1979 and the offshoot of the defence pact Taiwan Relations Act has no mutual defence clause. China would incur the wrath of western nations but it can only manifest through economic sanctions.

But Japan is what i don't know cause Japan's southern Ryukyu Islands chain are closer to Taiwan than the Japanese mainland and much of Japan's export and import passes through the strait. Japan believes a Taiwan controlled by China would affect the free flow of commodities that pass through the Taiwan strait so Japan has a keen interest in the future of the country and has signaled it has an obligation to help the country should China invade.

Yusman316:

U think China is another Iraq or Afghanistan that U.S can easily subdue

CooKeed:


Perhaps we should agree to disagree.

Well, there's capitalism in China no doubt. But the government involves itself in enterprise. We cannot call it 'fully' capitalist. But then there is no full capitalism anywhere in the world. In any case, the US has become the symbol of capitalism around the world. As far as capitalism is concerned the US is far ahead. Two of the top 5 companies in the world (by revenue) are owned by the Chinese govt. And with the way the Chinese government routinely meddles into the affairs of private businesses (Ali baba being a recent example) I would be reluctant to call it a capitalist nation, at least not on par with the US or other western democracies. Mind you, this is not an endorsement of any economic system. I'm just saying it as it is.

I agree that if the US prevented it's companies from doing business in China, then they wouldn't do business in China. But 'permitting' your companies to do business does not equate to the US 'opening up China' . China opened itself up and businesses took advantage of an opportunity for greater profit (as businesses typically do).

And like you said, they both benefitted from it. Just as business should be.

Power is measured in relative terms... You don't fight a near competitor like china unlike the arabian weaklings up

This is different. A large percentage of Crimeans want to be under Russian rule. The Taiwanese generally want nothing to do with China.

dmbb:

That means America is not untouchable but who did you ever see attacked China or Russia as of recent and went scot free? Nobody can try that suicide

omanzo02:

They are ignorant, the Russian were doing the same by threatening it's neighbours and Eu countries, the port of Antwerp and Rotterdam has be busy moving American war equipment to Russia border, they know that hence Putin has been making noise, the pictures below are in 2021.
