Only one person above has so far asked a genuine question and here it is;
Why would CHINA invade Taiwan?
Countries coming to defend a sovereign nation is expected but why would China invade?
Everyone above seems to be focused on hitting on America with no recourse to China who has been nursing an invasion to take over leadership.

How does this change the fact that China is re-colonizing and enslaving Africa via debts?

And gas prices that already jumped from $1.79 / gallon to $4.99 /gallon, will jump more, from $ 4.99 /gallon to $8.99/gallon.

U.S. President Joe Biden says his country will come to the aid of Taiwan if China invades the island nation.

President Joe Biden said Monday that the U.S. would send troops to defend Taiwan if China were to invade, saying the burden to protect Taiwan is "even stronger' after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It was one of the most forceful presidential statements in support of self-governing in decades.

How does Taiwan do that knowing that the ONLY thing China want is that Taiwan be part of China!

Also, one of the main reason China wants Taiwan is because Taiwan has "Electronic Integrated Circuit Technology" which China does not have. Acquisition of Taiwan will make China a true superpower like USA.

Taiwan is not a UN recognised country,...it's still believed to be a part of china....In fact, most country see it that way....It's like Nigeria and Biafra...Get it?

Biden is very stupid oh.

This man just want to plunge these smaller nations into a self destructive war and to what end?

See Ukraine, after the kpe ye wowo. See them now.

It will take Ukraine decades to recover from the destruction.

Oga biden, china get hypersonic missile wet dey reach uranus oh, so abeg make u calm down abeg.

What will China gain by attacking Taiwan? Is Taiwan a security risk to China? What has Russia gained from from Ukraine war? Nothing tangible for now. Russia has brought war to it border? China shouldn't make that mistake. USA wouldn't bring war to its border. It would rather go for economic blockade, coup, political assassination, civil unrest and wait patiently for regime change. That is diplomacy.

9jatriot:
I hope the leader of Taiwan is more intelligent than Zenlensky and will not fall for this kind of trap.

US has decided to keep emerging powers or enemies busy by instigating problems in their backyard while they blow empty air from afar. The two warring countries and their neighbors become the victims.
Russia has been kept very busy with Ukraine while Ukraine gets bombarded, now they are looking for a way to also keep China busy

NATO is a defensive alliance and their article 5 is so clear. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, so attack on Ukraine won't trigger article 5.

US has a pact with Taiwan. This is strictly between the US and Taiwan. If china attacks the US, US can trigger article 5 and NATO can be involved.

Stop comparing Mango to Orange, they are both fruits but not the same.

Hmmmm

Ok

nato no longer going to take Ukraine as it member that is the main reason for the war. I know you have a hard time understanding it.

America as usual is looking for trouble. When China reacts now, people who don't know the genesis of China's reaction will come to NL, to start defending America.

Upworkwriter007:

That was what Zambia said a few years ago.

10% is a lot for a poor countries like Nigeria. The country is currently servicing debt owed to China in circa of $200 million (84 billion naira per year).


To me as well, that is enslavement.

US would do nothing.

The misadventure in Afghanistan has exposed the weakness of the West.
I don't know how Zelensky fell for Biden's promises prior the war.
US can't engage any fellow nuclear nation, it's as simple as that.

U.S. President Joe Biden says his country will come to the aid of Taiwan if China invades the island nation.

President Joe Biden said Monday that the U.S. would send troops to defend Taiwan if China were to invade, saying the burden to protect Taiwan is "even stronger' after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It was one of the most forceful presidential statements in support of self-governing in decades.

Biden, at a news conference in Tokyo, said “yes” when asked if he was willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if China invaded. “That’s the commitment we made,” he added.

The U.S. traditionally has avoided making such an explicit security guarantee to Taiwan, with which it no longer has a mutual defense treaty, instead of maintaining a policy of “strategic ambiguity" about how far it would be willing to go if China invaded. The 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, which has governed U.S. relations with the island, does not require the U.S. to step in militarily to defend Taiwan if China invades, but makes it American policy to ensure Taiwan has the resources to defend itself and to prevent any unilateral change of status in Taiwan by the Beijing.

Biden's comments drew a sharp response from the mainland, which has claimed Taiwan to be a rogue province.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin expressed “strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition" to Biden's comments. “China has no room for compromise or concessions on issues involving China’s core interests such as sovereignty and territorial integrity."

He added, "China will take firm action to safeguard its sovereignty and security interests, and we will do what we say.”

A White House official said Biden’s comments did not reflect a policy shift.

Speaking alongside Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Biden said any effort by China to use force against Taiwan would “just not be appropriate,” adding that it “will dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine.”

China has stepped up its military provocations against democratic Taiwan in recent years aimed at intimidating it into accepting Beijing's demands to unify with the communist mainland.

“They’re already flirting with danger right now by flying so close and all the maneuvers that are undertaken,” Biden said of China.

Under the “one China” policy, the U.S. recognizes Beijing as the government of China and doesn’t have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. However, the U.S. maintains unofficial contacts including a de facto embassy in Taipei, the capital, and supplies military equipment for the island’s defense.

Biden said it is his “expectation” that China would not try to seize Taiwan by force, but he said that assessment “depends upon just how strong the world makes clear that that kind of action is going to result in long-term disapprobation by the rest of the community."

He added that deterring China from attacking Taiwan was one reason why it's important that Russian President Vladimir Putin "pay a dear price for his barbarism in Ukraine," lest China and other nations get the idea that such action is acceptable.

Fearing escalation with nuclear-armed Russia, Biden quickly ruled out putting U.S. forces into direct conflict with Russia, but he has shipped billions of dollars in U.S. military assistance that has helped Ukraine put up a stiffer-than-expected resistance to Russia’s onslaught.

Taipei cheered Biden's remarks, with Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Joanne Ou expressing “sincere welcome and gratitude” for the comments.

“The challenge posed by China to the security of the Taiwan Strait has drawn great concern in the international community,” said Ou. “Taiwan will continue to improve its self-defense capabilities, and deepen cooperation with the United States and Japan and other like-minded countries to jointly defend the security of the Taiwan Strait and the rules-based international order, while promoting peace, stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.”

It's not the first time Biden has pledged to defend Taiwan against a Chinese attack, only for administration officials to later claim there had been no change to American policy. In a CNN town hall in October, Biden was asked about using the U.S. military to defend Taiwan and replied, “Yes, we have a commitment to do that."

Biden's comments came just before he formally launched a long-anticipated Indo-Pacific trade pact that excludes Taiwan.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed Sunday that Taiwan isn’t among the governments signed up for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, which is meant to allow the U.S. to work more closely with key Asian economies on issues like supply chains, digital trade, clean energy and anticorruption.

Inclusion of Taiwan would have irked China.

Sullivan said the U.S. wants to deepen its economic partnership with Taiwan on a one-to-one basis.

In this world sef, greed is a very endemic problem. with all the vast expanse of land china already has, then considering how prosperous they have been! SHOULD THEY BE FORCING ANYONE TO STILL JOIN THEM?

Let your Prosperity speak for you and cause people to be wanting to be part of you. Little wonder why China is sentimental towards Russia because, like Russia, they have similar plans for Taiwan!!
