"At public forums and in private conversations, I’m often asked: What does China want? How should we deal with them? The choice of pronouns is revealing, placing me neither here nor there. I never know how to address these comically broad questions, as if I’m some kind of dragon whisperer. Those who default to such generalisations do not really want to know China as a place. They much prefer it as an idea, a geopolitical concept that can be distilled into soundbites and translated into policy. White men can rebrand as “China experts” overnight and charge a fortune for their insights, while a Chinese person is more likely to be heard as a “dissident” than a scholar. A lone crusader against an oppressive superpower makes for an appealing narrative. It substantiates the west’s notion of China as the embodiment of authoritarian evil. It affirms to a western audience their sense of superiority. Insufficient denunciation of the Chinese regime casts doubt on one’s scholarship on China, regardless of its area of focus."

All this arrogance and lies is eventually going to come to a grave cost for the west in that they seem to think they can continue to lie and smear China repeatedly without consequences, just like how Tony Abott tried to do a shirts off scene against Putin. Do these idiots in power in the west (USA especially), think that they will be forgiven for all the things they have done. IF they do, well I wonder how long there economies can keep on functioning if their supplier decides to simply close the gate

Abbott is a religious far right idiot and these types tend not to view the Chinese nor Communists as particularly favourable.
There are enough far right idiots in Canberra today to make AUKUS a foregone conclusion.

China will always be a totem for the west to ascribe and transfer all of their own failings and fears and insecurities; they claim to fear a totalitarian police state and yet that's exactly what they're creating in the west whilst China enshrines individual privacy and data into law.

The West having once dominated Asia all those years ago will continue having that longing to dominate and enslave China as they once did much like a heroin addict will always have a longing for heroin despite going through rehab.
 
words are meaningless at this point due to the depth of their brainwashing. only overwhelming strength and deterrence matter.
Words matter, just as words created the brainwashing words crack it, in conjunction with demonstrable ability and material achievements and of course the will to stand up for oneself.

The most likely outcome would be a

A U.S. special-operations unit and a contingent of Marines have been secretly operating in Taiwan to train military forces there, U.S. officials said
About two dozen members of U.S. special-operations and support troops are conducting training for small units of Taiwan’s ground forces, the officials said. The U.S. Marines are working with local maritime forces on small-boat training. The American forces have been operating in Taiwan for at least a year, the officials said.
 
Yang will meet Jake Sullivan this time, too much bad blood between Yang and Blinken. don't expect any breakthrough, but they may setup some guardrails about Taiwan. each round of the cease fire talk in the Korean War was preceded by heavy fighting, we're seeing similarities on Taiwan now.
blinken demoted? :p

No need to overreact as this was already known. I think this was leaked out by the Taiwanese government because they are worried China and America are reconciling.

Taiwan does not want peace.
Taiwan seems to have since the start of 2 years ago, kept going against their master's orders. Always going about leaking things here and there that should've been kept a secret between the US and themselves, causing talks between China and the US to be harder than needed. Does anyone else kinda feel the US is not very happy with Taiwan right now? I'm actually kinda expecting the US of all people to go harder on Taiwan in the future compared to China. This TSCM force transfer is only the beginning.
