You want J-20 to circle Taipei 101 three times then?
Give them a full (unauthorized) air show lol
J-10, J-11, J-16, KJ-500, coloured smoke

However, I think based on this:
The retaliation doesn't necessarily mean an all-out military operation to solve the Taiwan question, as China has confidence and patience to push reunification based on its own schedule, experts noted.


Basically means "You can play stupid games, but don't start anything you don't want finished"

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy nutcase I’d encourage people to hold physical gold.

Never in a million years did I think that I’d make this suggestion to anyone.

Personally I think investing in guns and ammo makes most sense right now. In fact, I think it’s mandatory.

Because all your stockpiled gold bars, food, water, medical supplies, hell, even your shelter and wife can easily become someone else’s if they have a gun and you don’t come the apocalypse.

This, incidentally, also applies to nations and has done since the before there was even nations. People forget that at their own risk and ultimate cost.

I am only quoting the article but the response (in whatever form) has to be visible if anyone is to take it seriously. The Western Public sees China as schrodinger cat, which is China does and doesn’t have the capabilities or a threat. They only believe the narrative that suits their whole view for each situation.
 
Sell as much of the $1 trillion worth of treasuries before they become frozen or confiscated.

Use CIPS and digital yuan as much as possible.

How?

1- There’s only so much grain/metal/oil/gold China can quickly buy before prices start skyrocketing from demand.

2- Theres only so much storage capacity for oil/grain/iron in China, not to mention grain and food imports have a finite shelf life

China needs to make clear that their foreign FX reserves essentially represents the collective blood, sweat, tears and effort of it’s citizens over the last 50+ years in the form of monetary savings they lent the world. Any freezing or seizing of their fx reserves would be considered an act of war because it is a theft of the collective trillions of hours their citizens spent working diligently in factories in hopes of a better future for themselves.

Judging from the recent actions from the west, China should be smart and start using a significant portion of the FX reserve to massively build-up the military and deterence. This is the ONLY way that the remaining amount can be safely preserved.

I don't care if the world ends because that means every single being dies. Big whoop. Americans are hell bent on dying then so should the Chinese. They want to meet their Jesus that much, then China ought to help them hasten their date with their maker.
I share the same sentiment somewhat. If China fails completely, I would not blame them if they choose to just nuke the entire world to reset it from scratch, in fact I will support it. The world after all is cruel, and stained with many sins from history, to some it will look like an act of mercy to press that big red button.

I'd say take one step further, like reinforcing the house and arming the place with a lot of traps. Gonna have to stockpile all that ammunition and guns to defend yourselves when the cannibals starts trying to get in the house.

Covid said ‘no’.

Who would have thought their ‘let ‘er rip’ covid ‘strategy’ would come back to bite them on the arse in such dramatic and timely manner!

The only downside is that if she kicks the proverbial bucket due to this, the loony toon Reddit brigade will be more sure than ever that covid is a Chinese super bioweapon. Hell, they will probably think covid virus has microchips in them and that Xi can control it directly. Cue the No Time to Die is real panik.

If that's true they better start building shrines for Xi and worshipping at them. Maybe hire the same guy who made this to make it?

But how? If they’re buying military hardware from Chinese weapons makers, they’re spending yuan. They can buy steel/iron/commodities/chemicals from other countries to build the military hardware, but it would massively drive the up price they pay themselves because this is 2-3 Trillion of materials we’re talking about here. All the world’s iron producers just simply cannot supply China with a trillion dollars of steel or iron ore on a whim.
