It is not US threat. China does not fear the US when it comes to Taiwan. China is confident US won't engage her in a military battle over an Island that shares no historical connection with the United States. China has said it that it wants a peaceful reunification with the Island and it hopes to achieve that if the Nationalist Party (KMT) leads the country someday cause the Nationalist Party has said it wants a reunification with China and opposes independence. But the former leader Tsai Ing Wen and this present leader from the DPP are in favour of independence that's what is riling China.

What China is doing is to put more pressure on the DPP but if they are hell bent on throwing away the One-China policy then China will strike them hard.

The thing is majority of Taiwanese are pro west and anti China. The KMT will never have the public support in fact they are viewed as a Vasal for China. And if by miracle they come into power the Taiwanese people will resist any unification agenda.

The truth it for many decades majority of Taiwanese has been westernized, they no longer have that hard conservative stance like native Chinese, if China is expecting using political schemes to get taiwan they are in for a long ride.

That is true. I have met a Taiwanese who moved here because he believes in the near future, there will be a war between the US and China over Taiwan. He likes the West, but I had to let him know that fighting China because you love the West does no good to the overall Chinese people. "Why fight your brother because an outsider egged you on? Look at Ukrainians and Russians killing themselves. Does it make sense if you fight your brother whereas the outsider is safe and watching you both deplete your population? Remember your birth rates aren't even high, so why waste lives?" He reasoned it and says I am right and the best way to do as China says: don't declare independence and stay neutral.

On the other hand, all the Mainland Chinese I have met insist Taiwan is part of China and they would never allow it to go away. That it is just a matter of time for them to get it, but let it go? Never! One stated that they were taught never to allow the Century of Humiliation to repeat itself. So, they are ready to fight to prevent such reoccurrence.

The truth it for many decades majority of Taiwanese has been westernized, they no longer have that hard conservative stance like native Chinese, if China is expecting using political schemes to get taiwan they are in for a long ride.

Yes, political schemes won't work, but economic and lagging birth rate schemes would at a point force the Taiwanese to choose a struggle. Mainland China remains its biggest trading partner. China has to play the long game to win. I don't see Taiwan outdoing China in economic manoeuvre. Currently, the US has briefly overtaken China as the source of Taiwan's exports, but as long as China grows and there exist economic opportunities, Taiwan's overall independence from China looks unlikely.

And China better sit up and smell the coffee because if Russia falls, what will befall China will be a child's play to what is happening now.
Breaking Russia into 15 smaller countries and adding these smaller 14 countries to NATO to boost NATO army and military budget will be what china can't stand.
The earlier they stop doing this sisi thing and jump into the war boldly just the way NATO is doing, the better for their own future.
Let them send Russia 200b dollar as aid also and send 5000 military men as instructors to disguising as fighters and endless weapons to deter the west.
These one west and NATO are arming Ukraine to the teeth while threatening china to stay off shows china cowardice.

Honestly, you are right. I don't know what else to suggest, but should Russia fail, China is gone! No ifs or buts. The Century of Humiliation would look like Child's play. Now, the US is coming to her backyard with small small economic deals with South East Asian nations.

A country at war that gets its power generating plants hit by multiple missiles almost every night still having more electricity than our dear country, despite electricity costing more in Nigeria.

E no go better for everyone handling the electricity in Nigeria, starting from the minister of darkness and the person that appointed him. "I have been preparing for president all my life" don appoint useless person to manage the power ministry. Despite the blatant incompetence and widespread discrimination, he still kept him there. Makes you wonder if all he has been preparing is to return Nigeria back to the Stone age.
I was having this discussion with someone yesterday and to me it seems this power issue is intentionally done to benefit some few, Just as the refinanries issues is intentionally done.

⚡Trump would run for president from jail, his lawyer says.

One of Donald Trump's lawyers has told the BBC that the former president is a "victim of political, selective prosecution".

On Thursday, Mr Trump was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records about a hush-money payment made to adult star Stormy Daniels.

He has said he plans to appeal against his historic conviction, and in an interview for Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Alina Habba insisted that even if he is jailed he will run for office because there are "people that need him".

He can even run for president if he is on death role...but let's see how he is gonna win after when state rules are applied. grin

🌍 The historian Todd, who predicted the collapse of the USSR, spoke about the West and Ukraine

⚫️ The Ukrainian military risks collapse due to the failure of the West, says French historian Emmanuel Todd. El Mundo writes about this.

📝 “When the Ukrainian counteroffensive began, everyone expected the Russians to defeat. Now the collapse of the Ukrainian army is expected,” he says.


According to Todd, Ukraine is resisting only thanks to the help of the West, and now the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have enough people and equipment. At the same time, the Ukrainian conflict revealed the industrial, material and economic “failure” of the West and the United States.

✅ He stated that the West has problems with the perception of reality caused by arrogance, and it will face defeat.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russia and China will stand “back to back” for some time

This was stated by Colonel of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation, MGIMO professor Andrei Bezrukov.According to him, Vladimir Putin is now the most experienced politician of all on the world stage.

📝 “He was there the longest. The next crisis will be a transitional, structural crisis. It will be like in the 30s during the Great Depression, when it fell and then did not rise for 20 years. That is, the generation will not restore this money; the next generation will restore the market in a different economy,” he said.

🇷🇺 Bezrukov emphasized that Russia has not lost its key allies: China and India. The Russian Federation has also maintained relations with neutral countries. These are the statesof the Arab world, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
