Hong Kong (CNN)In 2018, Chinese President Xi Jinping donned military fatigues and boarded a People's Liberation Army Navy destroyer in the South China Sea.
Spread out before him that April day was the largest flotilla Communist-ruled China had ever put to sea at one time, 48 ships, dozens of fighter jets, more than 10,000 military personnel.
For Xi, the country's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong, the day was a way point to a grand ambition -- a force that would show China's greatness and power across the world's seven oceans.
"The task of building a powerful navy has never been as urgent as it is today," Xi said that day.

WNU Editor: The Chinese are going to do four things with their navy.
(1) Continue to build even more ships. But these new ships will be more advanced and far more modern than their current fleet.
(2) Use their navy to assist the Coast Guard when they are forcibly asserting China's maritime claims in the South China Sea and the Western Pacific.
(3) To be used for intimidation against Taiwan, and those who support Taiwan.
(4) To show to the world that China navy has a "Blue Navy", and that Beijing's reach is global.

I feel the invasion of Taiwan is eventually inevitable. Hopefully I am wrong.
The question is this:
Are you willing to die for Taiwanese freedom?
That begs the question: what have the Taiwanese ever done for the West?
Not saying I'm against their freedom or their rightful claim to be free. Who'd want to be under China's rule?
And some might argue if we don't help Taiwan, then the next country would fall soon after. You know, the domino theory type of guys you see in movies being part of smart think tanks.. the types that alec Baldwin, the failed actor and man, play.
But this time Hollywood won't come to the help of Taiwan or the oppressed. Hollywood is run by money and money alone. Got An ideology you want to push? Hollywood is the whore to go to. They don't care if the moneydick is American or Chinese.
They'll blow the Chinese tune, and have so for years. They're sellouts willing to stab you in the back while you contemplate doing for the freedom of others.
They
Don't
Care
So. Do you?
Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia. It was a big deal. He obtained equipment to outfit 30 or 40 divisions. The equipment out fitted the Germans, Hungarians and Romanians. It allowed for the invasion of Russia.
With the factories China gets from Taiwan how many divisions will the Chinese be able to outfit?
With the Chinese takeover of China where will the US get its electronics? From Obama's asshole? Without electronics you might as well equipment the American military with black powder weapons. The soldiers would last longer.
If Taiwan and Japan are the Eastern front, what does the Chinese Western front look like?
sandy is right!
The problem is not what Taiwan did for us, the issue is Taiwan is a strategic island and the provider of our electronic components. The loss of Taiwan will put all American in the hand of China.
Nobody want to die for Gdańsk (Dantzig), but at the end there was 50 millions people dead...including the one's who don't want to die for Gdańsk.
