    Is Taiwan getting invaded worth world war 3

    I don't know Song Hongbing and haven't read him. If he is a Chinese nobody, who the Chinese don't take seriously, than sure. If he's someone they do take seriously, then sure it isn't exactly evidence, but it's at least a perspective I don't think should be immediately dismissed.

    West doesn't "consider credible" someone who predicts it will collapse, imagine my shock.

    Is Taiwan getting invaded worth world war 3

    But why should we be for it? To secure better profit margins for woke tech companies that de-platform us, and replace us with h1bs? For the security of a national security complex that does not secure our own borders? Don't get me wrong. I dislike China. My sympathy is with all people who wish...

    Okay, I understand you're claiming some kind of knowledge or authority on the issue here, but frankly without knowing what it is your claiming, I'm not sure how I can reasonably let it inform my opinion. (To be clear, please don't disclose whatever it is as it could be detrimental to you. I...

I'm not saying they're best buds, there's both serious historical grievances that neither side can back down on and current disputes like the Senkaku / Diaoyu islands.

    This is questionably true. However, as of 2019 this number was only 27%, so I'm not sure how stable that is overtime. Also I think you posted this with the wrong account?

    Talk from politicians is with worth next to nothing. Expressing dislike for a country most Americans feel antipathy toward is a free way to score some political points. Hell, most Republicans talking about how they hate China is mostly meaningless too. What matters isn't their expressed...

    Is Taiwan getting invaded worth world war 3

    It wouldn't be in the interests of those who determine US policy, which is what matters for what US policy would be. Although I also don't see how it would be in interest of heritage America to expend our blood and treasure in order to protect a global empire openly hostile to us.
