No they are not. The US economy now holds almost a 10 trillion GDP lead over China and Chinas economy is not growing like they once were. Not to mention their demographic problems are only getting worse just as western investment is leaving. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-25/us-extends-lead-over-china-in-race-for-world-s-biggest-economy?embedded-checkout=true	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-02-06
I think the possibility of a proactive strike hinges on whether they believe the U.S. would intervene with Taiwan. Even then, I'm not convinced they would. To preemptively strike U.S. military locations in South Korea and Japan is at best a short term "win" in attempting to take Taiwan; not even fully guaranteed a victory of usurping the island. The long-term consequences of such preemptive aggression would be war with the U.S., South Korea, Japan, other Indo-Pacific Allies, and, of course, NATO. I'm not sure China is willing to go to war with half of the world over Taiwan, especially when two of their three major allies are Russia, embroiled in a costly war as it is, and North Korea, a failed state propped up by China.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-02-06
What do you base this statement on? Their gdp is like years behind the US.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-02-06
> preemptive strikes on the airbases in South Korea and Japan. Thus adding two more nations with very competent militaries, including navies, to the fight. And airfields can be repaired quite quickly, we're talking days not weeks. To truly neutralize those airfields and naval yards would require a lot of long range missiles. Also, the US could still use bases in the Philippines, unless China wants to add yet another country to the opposing side by preemptively striking those too. >there is really very little the US could do to contest the invasion with the naval blockade in place There is a lot the US could do. US and allied submarines would make a naval blockade very difficult to maintain. And no naval blockade would be possible at all without establishing air dominance. And any credible attempt to invade Taiwan would require months of build up to preposition personnel, equipment, and supplies to make the invasion happen. You cannot do a surprise invasion involving 100,000s of people. And if you attempt an invasion with only a few thousand, which is about the most that could be done discretely, all you'll have done is ensure defeat. 10,000 troops isn't invading a country. If the US sees china making such a build up, it will move naval assets. If the US has a couple carrier strike groups in the region, no invasion will be possible until they are neutralized. And that would be a very tall order. Dido for the Japanese navy. >it would take quite a long time for those assets to arrive to begin with. No. It takes about two weeks for a carrier to cross from the US to east asia, and that's when they're in no particular rush. And again, this is ignoring all the assets, naval and air, that are already there.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-02-06
To be fair, it's why I started with if they view US involvement as inevitable. Denying the US air superiority would be a top priority. In my other other reply I linked a short video from a military strategist that describes this scenario far better than I, its worth the watch.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-02-06
> Yeah, no shit. Eh, they're actually kind of wrong on this one. Chinese paranoia tends to see the US bases in the region as meant to contain them, but that's more a currently handy byproduct than anything. We don't have bases in Okinawa because of China. We have them because of Japan. Our bases in Korea are primarily about North Korea. Our military cooperation with the Philippines goes back to them being a colony. They serve the purpose of countering China now, but that wasn't the point.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-02-06

The U.S. doesn't give a fuck. Who's going to stop us? We close off the strait, and put out a broadcast saying "if you're hearing this, you're within a no sail zone imposed by the United States, change your course immediately. The Malacca strait is under blockade, and not traversable. Any ship failing to comply with these orders will be considered an enemy, and fired upon." Civilian or no, the ships will listen or they'll die. Simple as that. And we justify it by saying that we can't risk letting a vessel get too close to U.S. assets, as it could be an undercover enemy. Also, China doesn't have the firepower to neutralize every single U.S. asset that can report to the fight. Nor can it neutralize all of its allies. There are simply too many. And China needs to save some ammo for the long fight to take Taiwan. Any air superiority that China established would be destroyed the second the U.S. arrived, as they can't match the raw power of the USAF. China would be on a ticking clock to completely subjugate taiwan before the U.S. and allies show up because they'd get their farm tanned asses kicked right the fuck out of Taiwan with haste and extreme prejudice, losing a few thousand soldiers and planes along the way. They'd have 2 weeks at most.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-02-06
Attacking United States troops in two separate countries would probably be the toughest way of trying to take Taiwan. There isn't just one airbase in South Korea and Japan. We have more US troops stationed in Japan than anywhere else in the world. We have 54,000 troops stationed across 120 bases throughout Japan with some of our most advanced air and naval fleets. In South Korea we have another 73 bases and 29,000 troops. Don't forget about Guam which is essentially an island aircraft carrier. Another 22,000 US troops there. Then there's 9 new US bases going up in the Philippines - it has not been disclosed how many more troops will be stationed there. If China plan's any preemptive strikes on South Korea and Japan, that's also activating South Korea and Japan's army in a declaration of all out war. That means NATO is immediately involved. It also means Australia joins the mix (we have another nuclear submarine base going up there as well). 37,000 more troops are stationed in Hawaii with another 160,000 stationed in California. Most of the United State's entire military is focused on the West since our Atlantic Ocean is a massive buffer zone with European allies sitting at the other side. Finally, and most importantly, there's no way of hiding the necessary military build up for an amphibious assault on Taiwan. You would need an incredible amount of ships to ferry troops fast enough to not just be slaughtered as you land. China doesn't even have enough ships yet and you can bet their military assets are constantly being tracked from satellites.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-02-06

If we want to be honest and look through history books.... Unification through violence and assimilation, was the norm for most of history. Historically everywhere in the world we have records of, coalitions of tribes didn't often lend themselves to nation building, as once the reason for their unification went away, infighting and the lack of shared institutional leadership led to them acting independent again. Addendum: While there have been alliances forever, its really rare (though not unheard of) for a coalition to consolidate culture and create a sense of national identity, without a shared oppressor to fight against.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06

It’s almost entirely geographic. I would even argue they don’t really care about the people or the factories in Taiwan—these are dispensable. China is water locked. Ships leaving China for the Pacific Ocean have to cross a chain of islands that are entirely controlled by either the US or its allies. Having Taiwan would break that chain and give them a route out that they control. It’s also why the US won’t give up Taiwan without a fight. It’s very difficult to project power when you can’t even leave your own backyard. They have a lot to gain by taking Taiwan.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06
Special military operation like russia? China do that ships airplanes circling the island for exercise, one day then say exersizing turn into landing.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06
If China felt they could take Taiwan, they would have done so by now. Since they haven’t, it follows that they understand the current conditions aren’t in their favour. I explained why they want Taiwan. You explained why they haven’t taken it yet. As for the current behaviour… they’re keeping Taiwan and US on their toes. Keeping tensions high forces the other side to waste resources and become psychologically worn down. It also makes it easier to build things up gradually — and should the opportunity present itself, start an attack. If you expect the other side to always lie, it’s going to be very surprising if and when they choose to tell the truth.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-03-06

I think the possibility of a proactive strike hinges on whether they *believe* the U.S. would intervene with Taiwan. Even then, I'm not convinced they would. To preemptively strike U.S. military locations in South Korea and Japan is at best a short term "win" in *attempting* to take Taiwan; not even fully guaranteed a victory of usurping the island. The long-term consequences of such preemptive aggression would be war with the U.S., South Korea, Japan, other Indo-Pacific Allies, and, of course, NATO. I'm not sure China is willing to go to war with half of the world over Taiwan, especially when two of their three major allies are Russia, embroiled in a costly war as it is, and North Korea, a failed state propped up by China.

> preemptive strikes on the airbases in South Korea and Japan. Thus adding two more nations with very competent militaries, including navies, to the fight. And airfields can be repaired quite quickly, we're talking days not weeks. To truly neutralize those airfields and naval yards would require a lot of long range missiles. Also, the US could still use bases in the Philippines, unless China wants to add yet another country to the opposing side by preemptively striking those too. >there is really very little the US could do to contest the invasion with the naval blockade in place There is a lot the US could do. US and allied submarines would make a naval blockade very difficult to maintain. And no naval blockade would be possible at all without establishing air dominance. And any credible attempt to invade Taiwan would require months of build up to preposition personnel, equipment, and supplies to make the invasion happen. You cannot do a surprise invasion involving 100,000s of people. And if you attempt an invasion with only a few thousand, which is about the most that could be done discretely, all you'll have done is ensure defeat. 10,000 troops isn't invading a country. If the US sees china making such a build up, it will move naval assets. If the US has a couple carrier strike groups in the region, no invasion will be possible until they are neutralized. And that would be a very tall order. Dido for the Japanese navy. >it would take quite a long time for those assets to arrive to begin with. No. It takes about two weeks for a carrier to cross from the US to east asia, and that's when they're in no particular rush. And again, this is ignoring all the assets, naval and air, that are already there.

To be fair, it's why I started with if they view US involvement as inevitable. Denying the US air superiority would be a top priority. In my other other reply I linked a short video from a military strategist that describes this scenario far better than I, its worth the watch.

> Yeah, no shit. Eh, they're actually kind of wrong on this one. Chinese paranoia tends to see the US bases in the region as meant to contain them, but that's more a currently handy byproduct than anything. We don't have bases in Okinawa because of China. We have them because of Japan. Our bases in Korea are primarily about North Korea. Our military cooperation with the Philippines goes back to them being a colony. They serve the purpose of countering China now, but that wasn't the point.

The U.S. doesn't give a fuck. Who's going to stop us? We close off the strait, and put out a broadcast saying "if you're hearing this, you're within a no sail zone imposed by the United States, change your course immediately. The Malacca strait is under blockade, and not traversable. Any ship failing to comply with these orders will be considered an enemy, and fired upon." Civilian or no, the ships will listen or they'll die. Simple as that. And we justify it by saying that we can't risk letting a vessel get too close to U.S. assets, as it could be an undercover enemy. Also, China doesn't have the firepower to neutralize every single U.S. asset that can report to the fight. Nor can it neutralize all of its allies. There are simply too many. And China needs to save some ammo for the long fight to take Taiwan. Any air superiority that China established would be destroyed the second the U.S. arrived, as they can't match the raw power of the USAF. China would be on a ticking clock to completely subjugate taiwan before the U.S. and allies show up because they'd get their farm tanned asses kicked right the fuck out of Taiwan with haste and extreme prejudice, losing a few thousand soldiers and planes along the way. They'd have 2 weeks at most.

Attacking United States troops in two separate countries would probably be the toughest way of trying to take Taiwan. There isn't just one airbase in South Korea and Japan. We have more US troops stationed in Japan than anywhere else in the world. We have 54,000 troops stationed across 120 bases throughout Japan with some of our most advanced air and naval fleets. In South Korea we have another 73 bases and 29,000 troops. Don't forget about Guam which is essentially an island aircraft carrier. Another 22,000 US troops there. Then there's 9 new US bases going up in the Philippines - it has not been disclosed how many more troops will be stationed there. If China plan's any preemptive strikes on South Korea and Japan, that's also activating South Korea and Japan's army in a declaration of all out war. That means NATO is immediately involved. It also means Australia joins the mix (we have another nuclear submarine base going up there as well). 37,000 more troops are stationed in Hawaii with another 160,000 stationed in California. Most of the United State's entire military is focused on the West since our Atlantic Ocean is a massive buffer zone with European allies sitting at the other side. Finally, and most importantly, there's no way of hiding the necessary military build up for an amphibious assault on Taiwan. You would need an incredible amount of ships to ferry troops fast enough to not just be slaughtered as you land. China doesn't even have enough ships yet and you can bet their military assets are constantly being tracked from satellites.

If we want to be honest and look through history books.... Unification through violence and assimilation, was the norm for most of history. Historically everywhere in the world we have records of, coalitions of tribes didn't often lend themselves to nation building, as once the reason for their unification went away, infighting and the lack of shared institutional leadership led to them acting independent again. Addendum: While there have been alliances forever, its really rare (though not unheard of) for a coalition to consolidate culture and create a sense of national identity, *without* a shared oppressor to fight against.

It’s almost entirely geographic. I would even argue they don’t really care about the people or the factories in Taiwan—these are dispensable. China is water locked. Ships leaving China for the Pacific Ocean have to cross a chain of islands that are entirely controlled by either the US or its allies. Having Taiwan would break that chain and give them a route out that they control. It’s also why the US won’t give up Taiwan without a fight. It’s very difficult to project power when you can’t even leave your own backyard. They have a lot to gain by taking Taiwan.

If China felt they could take Taiwan, they would have done so by now. Since they haven’t, it follows that they understand the current conditions aren’t in their favour. I explained why they want Taiwan. You explained why they haven’t taken it yet. As for the current behaviour… they’re keeping Taiwan and US on their toes. Keeping tensions high forces the other side to waste resources and become psychologically worn down. It also makes it easier to build things up gradually — and should the opportunity present itself, start an attack. If you expect the other side to always lie, it’s going to be very surprising if and when they choose to tell the truth.

For all intents and purposes Russia declared a hybrid war on EU. Hence a blanket ban on travel from Russia. It's not racism. It's a basic retaliatory measure towards your adversary when the war is on your doorstep. Now, how does any of that correlate with a ban of a private individual based on ethnicity by a non-government organization?
