I mean you can stick your fingers into all your various sensory orifices and ignore the growing turmoil between Taiwan and China all you want, but the reality is that there is nothing the US can or will do that will prevent China from doing what they please with regards to Taiwan.


I'm aware of the politics of China (I have acquaintances in both mainland and Taiwan).

But a foreign country having internal issues isn't an excuse for the US to suddenly decide it's a good time to invade it (or to threaten to invade it and destroy its factories).


What? Since when are we doing that? And also my comment says nothing aboht that.


If that was the case China would already have done it (like they happily gobbled up Hong Kong), but they haven't.

What stayed their hand?


China has legal right to hong kong, not to taiwan. Completely different situation.


One word: carriers.
