Taiwan Relations Act - Declares it to be the policy of the United States to preserve and promote extensive, close, and friendly commercial, cultural, and other relations between the people of the United States and the people on Taiwan, as well as the people on the China mainland and all other people of the Western Pacific area. Declares that peace and stability in the area are in the political, security, and economic interests of the United States, and are matters of international concern. States that the United States decision to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China rests upon the expectation that the future of Taiwan will be determined by peaceful means and that any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or embargoes is considered a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States. States that the United States shall provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character and shall maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or social or economic system, of the people of Taiwan.

Reaffirms as a commitment of the United States the preservation of human rights of the people of Taiwan.

We must not bow to CCP. If they want war, they will get it.

great post, proudlefty.

this is the "do better" that Hawkeye is always talking about.
 
I think (hope?) that the CCP may have learned from Putin's war. He sent troops overland from three sides of Ukraine and STILL couldn't pull it off. Now he's bogged down.

An attempted invasion of Taiwan would be an order of magnitude more difficult. It would have to be almost entirely by sea and would be a tremendous gamble. The stakes for the CCP, if they lost, could be the survival of their regime in China. I don't think they are that sort of gamblers.

Exactly. A naval force would be a certain defeat for the CCP.

Agreed but they don't want war. Most of Xi's BS was for domestic consumption, including Taiwanese. His comments are as likely to come true as Putin's threat of launching nukes in Europe.

Xi knows perfectly well that China would lose many of their markets overnight. The only real reason he interested is to control the semiconductor sector. But the game's up, companies like TMSC are moving their fabs globally including in Arizona. The Chicoms would dearly love to get their hands on 5 and 3 nm technology. Of course for that they also need AMSL extreme ultra violet lithography based in Holland.

Interesting enough, tariffs are the worst tax on working class people possible. It takes a long time for any payoff from them, if there ever is.

no it isnt.

not if it creates a whole domestic production labor market for them to be employed in which they can be employed.

its great for maintaining a working class in the midst of the corporate/fascist push to renormalize human slavery.
