US provocations over Taiwan question a minefield for China ties, encourage "once and for all" solution
Provocations only encourage 'once and for all' solution: experts
are a minefield for China-US relations with the Taiwan question becoming the most dangerous, Chinese observers warned on Friday, citing a Republican-backed, provocative resolution and house speaker Kevin McCarthy's possible visit to the island.
They stressed that the US' repeated provocations over China's red line will only strengthen China's determination to address the Taiwan question once and for all.
Lü Xiang, an expert on US studies and a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, believes that if McCarthy makes the visit, which is highly likely, China's response against the US would be of higher intensity than that after then house speaker Nancy Pelosi's provocative visit to Taiwan island in August 2022.

Besides China announcing sanctions against Pelosi and her immediate family, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in August held joint drills in the Taiwan Straits which were of unprecedented scale and duration, forming a blockade of the island.

China has drawn a clear-cut red line, but if the US regards it as not clear enough and keeps testing the line, "we don't mind reinforcing it," Lü told the Global Times on Friday.
Song Zhongping, a Chinese military expert and TV commentator, cited a Chinese saying that "quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes."
The US keeps hollowing out its political commitment by passing bills, selling weapons and making provocative visits to the island of Taiwan. Its provocations keep piling up in quantities, which will lead to a qualitative change - China has to address the Taiwan question once for all, Song told the Global Times on Friday.

I have a few posts on this forum that are aging well. My post about how there are arguments for near-term conquest/re-unification/rebellion crushing (LOL) is aging well too. Taiwan is a chore, a stain on credibility, and a risk factor for China. It is also salami slicing to full statehood and desinicizing the island. I think it is a good idea to do this in 5-10 years. The PLA and more specifically China's nuclear arsenal will be ready by 2028-2030

Should have done it back last August

The biggest problem is that Taiwan is China's diplomatic and strategic black hole which saps all of its energy

Imagine if China didn't have the problem with dealing with Taiwan, how much more freely it could operate in the international arena. It spends tremendous diplomatic capital every year when dealing with the Taiwan problem, imagine all that diplomatic capital invested somewhere else

This is also why the US is interested in using Taiwan to distract China from seriously challenging it in other areas

I understand your concern about the diminishing value of currencies and antagonism towards Asians in America but aren't there better ways to deal with the situation on a personal level? Instead of someone spending their last penny and going into debt, isn't it better for them to translate their wealth to other forms and build a plan to escape to safer jurisdictions? Or are you implying to max out credit before making an exit?

If someone that thinks the situation in America will become dire, wouldn't it be better to use that money to obtain property in a safe place in Asia that allows foreign property ownership?
I recommend bali island, cheap tasty food, great sunset, foreigners can buy property, but be quick soon the island will be full of british and australians if not already

The US would never just stop at Taiwan (as the manipulations over Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet etc... repeatedly demonstrate), it only ends if the US itself is decisively beaten, which is why a conflict was inevitable with or without Taiwan, it just puts things into sharper focus.

None of those are under the control of another government so what the US does with them is irrelevant. They aided a lot of Tibetans to escape to India in the 1950s. The idea was using them as freedom fighters later. Now the said immigrants' descendants are returning back because life in Tibet is much easier than life in India. Separatism is very rare in Tibet. There are incomparably more free Tibet activists in the USA than in Tibet. This is as good as the US can achieve when it doesn't have a puppet gov governing a territory.

NEW DELHI Jan 28 (Reuters) - Two Indian air force fighter jets crashed on Saturday after becoming involved in an accident and one pilot was killed, the air force said.

"The aircraft were on routine operational flying training mission. One of the three pilots involved, sustained fatal injuries. An inquiry has been ordered to determine the cause of the accident," the air force said in a statement.

The accident happened near the town of Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh state, it said

Officials said earlier one of the aircraft came down in Madhya Pradesh and the other in the neighbouring state of Rajasthan.

The air force did not specify what type of aircraft were involved but media reported they were a Sukhoi-30 and a Mirage 2000.

Point is though that demonstrates how far they're willing to push against and undermine anyone who doesn't obey their ideological dictates, which is also why Vietnam was willing to fight US forces for 13 years to achieve their own reunification, because it would otherwise never end as the Iranians themselves experienced just recently in the past few months. Hybrid warfare means that things will only stop when the instigator is decisively defeated and nothing less.

Sir, my opinion as Hua Qiao the US approach of salami tactic will fail spectacularly and it's a oxymoron strategy, let's look at the numbers IF you include the patriotic overseas Chinese like me, we outnumber them even if you combine the whole population of the Collective West or the Golden Billion...lol The American always want a leverage, they are cheapskate, they are willing to gamble others race lives for their own benefit, so having a leverage they want to extract the maximum BUT will the Chinese agree and dance to their tune? Well we have our answers and the blowback is hurting the American big time...lol The reason the Chinese had a Bigger card to play and they know how to used it...lol
