China and the U.S. Should open "talks" regarding Taiwan . Let's slow down a potential arms race in the South China Sea. |
Taiwan is not worth for the US to go to War over with China .
MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE that Taiwan is a separate nation . It's been a myth for nearly a century . The Ancient History of Taiwan has been linked to China for over 3000 years , if you read anything about ancient Taiwan it was always under the influence , or part of the ancient Chinese Empires . There must be a PEACEFUL SOLUTION to the Taiwan question . The US should seek a dialog with China , but they must invite Taiwan at the table . Peace and dialog are ever so easy . Fighting China is dangerous a NO WIN SCENARIO for the US . It would bring Russia into the war . LOOK Beijing also is investing considerably in military capabilities that could be employed in a Taiwan contingency. China has gone on a naval shipbuilding surge in recent years, surpassing the U.S. Navy by a count of hulls. Robert S. Ross of Boston College estimates that the Chinese Navy already has more than 300 ships, while the U.S. Navy has around 280.China is marshaling its full range of capabilities to intensify pressure on Taiwan below the threshold of conflict. People's Liberation Army forces now operate all around Taiwan. They also have been conducting highly publicized amphibious assault exercises and air penetrations of Taiwan's air defense identification zone at the highest frequency in nearly 25 years.There is almost no scenario in which the United States can successfully intervene in a war between China and Taiwan that will not leave our country in far worse shape than it is right now; in a worst-case scenario, American territory could be struck by nuclear missiles. It would be utterly insane for the Biden camp to consider any kind of war with China . After the Afghanistan fiasco , America is done waging "endless wars" . Any war with China will be the end of America . NO SIDE can afford a war . So ALL SIDES must come together and start bilateral talks to solve the Taiwan issue .
NOTES AND COMMENTS :
(1)>>mainland China. In the late 1920s - early 1950s China went into Civil war between the formally ruling National Party and the Communists. The communists eventually won the war, when they did the Nationalist government and military commanders fled to Taiwan where they were more defensible. The communists were never able to attack Taiwan especially in Modern Times with the US Navy guarding them. Taiwan for all intents and purposes functions like an independent nation but China still considers them rebels in revolt on Chinese territory, which she refers to as Chinese Taipei. Most of the world officially goes along with China officially but still treats Taiwan like a count. It depends who you ask. China, as in the People's Republic of China, consider it rightfully part of China. But the reality is that it's run by a separate government which they don't have power over. They consider it a "rogue province", part of China which is being ruled by an illegitimate government.Officially the government of Taiwan considers itself to be the rightful government of all of China, both Taiwan and mainland China. Their official name is actually the "Republic of China". It's actually the continuation of the regime that controlled China before the communist revolution.But Taiwan doesn't actively pursue their claim over mainland China. The main reason they officially maintain that claim is because they haven't declared Taiwan to be a separate country from China. And that's because the People's Republic of China has threatened to invade if they officially declare independence.(2)>>Nationalist government fled to Taiwan . Jiang (Chiang) Kai-shek immediately established a military authority to rule Taiwan. In less than 2 years, a conflict between the Chinese Military Security Guards and the Taiwanese civilians led to bloodshed in the whole island. On February 28, 1947, the brutal treatment of a female sidewalk vendor in Taipei by a Chinese tobacco inspector angered the Taiwanese bystanders, who began to defend the woman. The ensuing conflict between the Taiwanese civilians and the Chinese military police turned into a revolt by the Taiwanese people against the ROC authority throughout the island. To suppress the revolt, Jiang (Chiang) Kai-shek in Nanjing (Nanking) quickly sent enforcement troops to Taiwan. Upon arrival in Taiwan, the troops shot thousands of unarmed Taiwanese indiscriminately on sight. After the revolt was put down, the ROC authority arrested and executed without trial thousands more of the Taiwanese, including many elites such as medical doctors and lawyers. The atrocity committed by the Chinese army was later called “the 228 Incident” or “the 228 Massacre.”Subsequent to the 228 Incident, further oppression of the Nationalist Chinese incited an anti-Chinese sentiment among the Taiwanese people, especially the intellectuals.
