Their state run media has also posted many interesting stories in the past month that people would be wise to notice. They are actually very concerning some of the things their government has been saying to their people. IMO they are preparing their people for conflict.

Someone pointed out, in another of my resources, that they have been "preparing their people for conflict" for quite a while.
What would be interesting would be to know the trend line. Are they ramping up the rhetoric, or is it staying somewhat level or does it go up and down, on a regular basis. We don't know, since we haven't measured it over a period of time. I know a couple places the answer might be, but they are run by people who do that kind of stuff for a living, and I can't afford their price, right now.

China will be entering Taiwan by the end of the year and someone will have to wake up joe crow to let him know.

While I don't think it will be this year, I agree that it appears to be coming, soon. (I am still waiting for that SINPCO class submarine.)

This kind of saber rattling went on through the last two administrations. Still, I don't know if it is staying the same, or if it is ramping up.

Most resources are in the business of scaring you, so they will act like it is ramping up, even if it is not.

I will try to look into it, though.

Well, I found out a little.
I consider Gordon Chang to be an authority on China.

https://www.iheart.com/content/2021-10-08-clay-travis-and-buck-sexton-author-and-analyst-gordon-chang-on-the-china-threat/

BUCK: Why is it getting so hot in that part of the world, Gordon, what is going on between China and Taiwan?

CHANG: I think there are two things, and neither of them actually relate to Taiwan. One of them is, at the top of the Chinese political system, there’s evident turmoil. We don’t know the full extent of it because it’s an opaque system, but things are happening that do not occur unless there is severe infighting. So, I think Xi Jinping the Chinese ruler is lashing out.

He needs to find an enemy to unify the political system and the country behind him. That’s Taiwan. Second thing, I think that Chinese leaders believe that the Biden administration is incapable. We saw this in their propaganda as Kabul fell, and that propaganda was, I think, reflective of Chinese elite thinking that the U.S. was not able to deal with the Taliban.

So, it couldn’t counter China, and also that when China invaded Taiwan, that the island would fall within days, and the United States would not come to Taiwan’s rescue. You put that really dangerous attitude — and, at the same time, you’ve got all the infighting at the Chinese capital — it’s a really dangerous mix.

Dave58 wrote:

Well, buying, stealing, cheating, and other forms of fraud are the only thing I expect from the Dems. My normal take is that, unless the Republicans have an overwhelming presence at the polling places and other places where the votes are counted, we should assume at the precinct level, that 10% of the legitimate Republican votes will "disappear" and 20% of the Democrat votes will be fraudulent. In any statewide count, like Michigan, Virginia, New Jersey or Pennsylvania, we should assume about half of that. So add 5% to the Republican vote total and subtract 10% from the Democrat vote total, and you have something really close to the honest counts.

My real question was: do you think China will wait 3 years to invade and take Taiwan?

I have seen estimates from 2 years to 5 years. I think Gordon Change said 5 years, but that was a few months ago.

by Dave58 Thu Nov 04, 2021 2:55 pm

If I had to guess.. I'm guessing it will be less than 3 years just because Biden is so wrapped up in climate change and trying to be a ruler instead of a president. If china tries to take Taiwan back into the fold I think Biden will turn his back on them..

I don't think he has the stones to face China. I just wish this would have happened when I was younger....

I think less than 3 years.

3 fold.

Reasons,

1- china wants more control over the global semiconductor market for their own usage.

2- military capabilities. China has advanced very rapidly and in the western Pacific theater they have the ability to deny us. They will want to make their move before the USAF gets their new B-21 raider operational and before we get more F35s and before the newly developed Next Generation Air Dominance becomes operational. They want to strike before we deploy more ballistic missile interceptors to counter their missiles.

3- socio-economically. There is internal unrest. Their years of 1 child policy now have an entire generation of military aged males with no hope of getting married or having a family. Their economy isn't doing nearly as well as they like to showoff. There is internal unrest and they need to galvinize the people and cement Xi's legacy.

The B21 and NGAD are being designed specifically to counter threats like china.

https://www.defensenews.com/breaking-news/2020/09/15/the-us-air-force-has-built-and-flown-a-mysterious-full-scale-prototype-of-its-future-fighter-jet/

We’ve already built and flown a full-scale flight demonstrator in the real world, and we broke records in doing it,” Will Roper told Defense News in an exclusive interview ahead of the Air Force Association’s Air, Space and Cyber Conference. “We are ready to go and build the next-generation aircraft in a way that has never happened before.”

Almost every detail about the aircraft itself will remain a mystery due to the classification of the Next Generation Air Dominance program, the Air Force’s effort for fielding a family of connected air warfare systems that could include fighters, drones and other networked platforms in space or the cyber realm.

I see the mirror image of that.

I think they will go with a coordinated attack. Either at the same time, or with N.Korea drawing first blood, so that we will expend our initial forces against them, then the Chinese will launch against a weakened US military.

Hard to guess the mind of the Chinese, but I would venture to say that "Heavy Attack" means it won't simply be tit-4-tat. I doubt they would want to initiate an attack on the Australian mainland, at least at first, since a lot of Australian grain goes to China.

From the linked article

Defence Minister it 'would be inconceivable' for Australia not to support the US

I would be more worried, after the Afghanistan debacle, will the US support Australia.
Or just make a token showing and then cut and run.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/07/britons-stranded-in-afghanistan-call-for-urgent-evacuation-help

More than 60 British nationals who remain stranded in Afghanistan have criticised the government for abandoning them and their families in an increasingly dangerous situation.
...

Most were instructed to go to Kabul airport for an evacuation flight in August but found they could not get near the entrance due to the thousands of people trying to flee the country.

Many described spending days waving their British passports at soldiers by the airport gates, hoping to be allowed on to a flight.

Probably reloading. The U.S. has got big time troubles coming. China backs NK, China wants Taiwan back, Russia wants the Ukraine, Russia and China are backing each other, Iran is in high gear for a nuclear weapon.

China wants to dominate the world.
Economically,
Authoritatively,
Militarily.

They don't want to go to war with us, but they want us to know they could. They want us to know our place: don't mess with China's takeover of the rest of the world. They want us to know they will do what they want, without interference.

They think their aggressive military actions will cause us to cower.
They may be right.

From the linked article:

China must pay a price. Biden will have to assemble a coalition of countries finally willing to push back against China’s carelessness and deception about COVID-19, as well as its ongoing theft of intellectual property, disregard for human rights, dishonest posturing about climate change and economic coercion. It is time. For over a decade the free world, in thrall to the economic opportunities of a growing China, has looked the other way as Beijing has allowed rampant cyberattacks, stolen billions of dollars in patents and know-how, lied about its military ambitions in the South China Sea and elsewhere, and cheated on international rules and standards.

It really sounds strange to hear that from msn network.

Almost sounds like we are hearing Trump, since saying that was part of what the left hated Trump for.

Sounds like this new guy (only been there about 2 months) from China is calling the way the cards are falling and Xi likes him. We're definitely on the verge of conflict. Once China invades Taiwan (I say around the 2024 election) we'll see Joe Crow 2.0 beg for mercy.

Funny how you never heard anything from China, North Korea, Russia or Iran during the Trump years. Very Happy

If you think the chip shortages of the last few years were bad, just wait to see what happens if/when China invades Taiwan.

Not only that dm, China exports 80% of the raw materials, that we need to make drugs here in the U.S..

They stop that, a lot of people will be very sick. We can only hope that our allies pick up the slack if that would happen.

I agree. The problem is: we either remain as we are, growing ever more dependent on them, or try to move away, in which case they may (likely, will, ) use those supply chains as weapons, while they still can. We are between a rock and a hard place. Trump tried to move us out of that spot, but the Deep State and Corporate America had no will to move.

A couple of years ago, China said they would take over the U.S. without firing a shot, looks like XI is shooting to take over the world.

As long as we have weak leaders in the world, like the yellow bellied clown that we have in the white house, XI will take over the U.S. and the world.

President XI has built Islands in the South Pacific, has united Iran with Saudi Arabia, XI is going to visit Russia and now South Africa and some other countries.

Too bad XI wasn't a Republican Laugh-Dog

Little Rocket Man is emboldened by our yellow belled head clown, but, I think it's just more saber rattling, I hope.

But, Kim is a nut case, he just may start a nuclear war, by accident.
