Reuters: Taiwan says China can 'paralyse' its defences, threat worsening
TAIPEI (Reuters) - China's armed forces can "paralyse" Taiwan's defences and are able to fully monitor its deployments, the island's defence ministry said, offering a stark assessment of the rising threat posed by its giant neighbour.
Beijing is stepping up military activities around the island, which it views as Chinese territory. It has never renounced the use of force to bring democratic Taiwan under its control.
In its annual report to parliament on China's military, a copy of which was reviewed by Reuters, Taiwan's Defence Ministry presented a far graver view than it did last year, when the report said China still lacked the capability to launch a full assault on Taiwan.

Taiwan is hopelessly dependent on oil imports throug its 2 strategic ports. They'll fall so quickly, and then within 2 weeks they're out of reserve oil.
ReplyDeleteAnd on top the proximity to China is just an overwhelming disadvantage for anyone trying to fight a war over there.
Also from a more metaphysical or biological level, they just outgrow us. If we don't have enough children our values won't matter because we will be so outnumbered at one point we are not noticeable, and by we I mean people who want freedom, free speech, human dignity, something like a working democracy..I know I know.. but living under a system like in China or what they want under the great reset(they'll ease us in, but it'll end up like in China and in some ways it's worse already .. their population at least know they live under such a system, in the west where we are edging towards the same system, people are in complete denial)
China invades Taiwan and it is the end of the UN. The UN was never legitimate. It has been one fiasco after another like the WHO investigation, Congo Peacekeepers, Korean War, Vietnam War, Rwanda, etc.
ReplyDeleteHad a discussion about Taiwan worth another person they gave it a year or two years. I have it 6 months.
So have a nice Christmas, because it'll be the last one for awhile.
Christmas is overrated
ReplyDeleteI agree that they'll make their move either next or after the second next Corona virus wave, which was totally from a wet market and totally just by coincidence is not only a respiratory but also cardiovascular disease at the same time, immediately dropping the average combat readiness of vaccinated and of just regular sick people by 20-30%... the west is purposefully subdued and our leaders let it happen, have let it happen in more than just monetary and physical and spiritual and cultural and ideological ways for so many years
And they'll give as excuse thucydides trap
But in reality they'r just shifting their portfolios from west to east and betray you.
Thank you for the fish and goodbye types
Christmas is not overrated. It is a relaxing time of year assuming you make it through the 1st 2 weeks of December.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of world better get its shit together vis-a-vis China--and SOON. Because China pretty much already has its shit together, and what's still lacking it's working overtime to either solve or compensate for. I don't know why the Php, Nam, Aus, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and India are not ACTIVELY working together to counter the rising threat that the CCP poses, but what I do know is that China intends to be the absolute dominant force throughout the entire region and beyond. In fact, it may already be too late to stop what increasingly appears to be inevitable.
ReplyDeleteChina is doing to South China Sea what Hitler did with Austria. Step by step Germany get more and more....and we get WWII.
ReplyDeleteThe entire Taiwan issue is a joke, to lay claim to ones anothers land while in the last what 100 years they have both been independant countries. It takes some next level retardness to launch an invasion, and while everone speculates when where and how. I would argue it will be decades, 10-20 years before China has the balls, we already see that their one child policy has decimated their fighting force.
ReplyDeleteWe could speculate within years, but this will only happen if China's upkeep hinders growth, and honestly from my interactions with China, they are wimps and are only embolden by assured victory.
For China to go to war, they need massive advantage, handicap and need to know they will win. Otherwise they will remain the rats they are and keep building capabilities, stealing others intellectual property and bullying small island nations.
Honestly, i wish they would just nuke China already and get it over with, but since 1950's everyone has been to cowardly, end of the day, like Japan in WW2 unless there is an overwhelming victory they will not start shit.
