China will Invade Taiwan (be prepared)

China views Taiwan as a rogue province destined to be reunified under their rule. As the years pass, the likelihood that they can accomplish that peacefully drops.
In this video you’ll uncover the complex relationship between China and Taiwan, focusing on the possibility of a Chinese invasion and its potential global ramifications. We will analyze various perspectives from experts and examine the historical context, China's military buildup, and the implications of the Chinese Communist Party's decision-making.

So i think China is a big freat to the west and Taiwan (obviously) but i don´t think they will invade because they woud have to defeat Japan's and Americas boat fleet and then if they get on to Taiwan i dont think they have a very big chance of taking the island because then there woud be south Koreans Americans and Japanese soldiers ready for them and if they get a on to the island and they have to move forward but Taiwan is just mountains so you cant get heavy equipment op in the mountains only infantry and then they can fire artillery at the mountains but that´s also it (besides air power if they get that) but the thing im most worried about is the west is just not ready for war because of the lac of ammunition but good video man

In his speech he said that they will use other means for reunification, but what he’s actually saying is that if Taiwan doesn’t agree to their terms than military action will be taken. It’s their way or the highway

[@antonywooster6783]

No, Not really correct. What the Chinese are saying (Including a lot of people in Taiwan.) is that If the government in Taiwan declares independence the Chinese will take any means neccessary to stop them. The Taiwanese government will only declare independence, if the US military is there and is willing to back them up. If the US withdrew, there would be negotiations to come to a mutally agreeable settlement. This is the last act of the Chinese Civil War. It is none of the US's business. The Pentagon has wargamed this war many times and the ONLY time they won, they had a new "Wonder Weapon" which has not yet been invented.

[@oscarlebron9088]

I cannot agree nor disagree with you on this. I do not trust the CCP. They already made clear their intentions if they decide to invade Taiwan. Reunification is their main goal and the only way they can accomplish this is through military intervention. The Taiwanese people love their country and their freedom. Only a small percentage of the people would prefer reunification because they identify as chinese. Sure, there will be a diplomatic solution but from my perspective it is only a ploy on the CCP side. China, for all intent and purposes, is using a type of diplomacy that requires no military action without firing a shot or setting foot on the beaches of Taiwan. Example: what they are doing is similar to what they have been doing around the world, and that is convincing other countries to let them build their infrastructure on the conditions that they let the Chinese build a port in their country, but there’s a catch. The CCP is trying to use the same tactics on the Taiwanese government and if they don’t agree than they have no other choice but to attack. As for the US, they have to defend Taiwan because it is in their best interests. Remember, the CCP really doesn’t care about reunification, what they actually want is the manufacturing of the Chips that Taiwan produces every year and controls more than 90% of the market!

A lot of the fears you stoke in this video can be easily countered with two words: complex interdependence. The US and China have intertwined their business interests to such a degree that war, or even getting close to war, is irrational for either of them. These two countries will not act irrationally, and it is extremely unlikely they would go to war with each other. So while most of what you said can be granted as true, it is way more complicated then most of your audience will understand, and they will walk away with the wrong impression because of that.

Quick comment about US war games and why we always lose. In our war games we don't play to win, we play to lose. Sounds backwards i know, but hear me out. When we do training excercises and war games we stack the deck ridiculously against our forces. Imagine playing a brand new game running on brutal difficulty and skipping the tutorial. That's basically what we do. Why? Because failure is a much better teacher than success. It teaches you how to push your men/women to the brink of human endurance and to learn ways to squeeze every ounce of capability out of your equipment. It teaches resiliency and rapid adaptability to changing circumstances. We usually war game with a hand tied behind our back.

[@ntro9347]

@@shimsy41 My comment was in response to your "quick two piece" remark, which comes across as typical c'tain Murica nonsense - which will come bite you in the ass, one day or the next. There is always politics in war, without the politics war wouldn't be there to begin with. So, it is entirely normal for political decision making (or lack thereoff) to influence the course of war. There are no quick two pieces, no decisive battles that have won any wars recently. Modern warfare is about strategy, intelligence and most importantly patience, because modern wars are not won in a few days. Like it or not, the US did not only lose Vietnam (or Korea for that matter) due to political reasons alone. Fighting a protracted war against a highly mobile guerilla style army has never suited the US very well (or other nations for that matter) and eventually the will to fight is just gone. We have seen so in Afghanistan with both the USSR and the US "getting out", in Vietnam, in Iraq, also Israel is probably looking at a similar scenario. A China - US war will play out completely differently ofcourse, but also in that scenario I do not see any option where the US is able to beat China quickly (besides a succesful first strike with WMD's). In any case, "playing" war games to lose makes complete sense, so no argument from me in that regard. But if you play to lose, you should also have that mindset mentally - which you clearly don't. ;)

While the thoughtful content is appreciated, I think the analysis here misses at least one fundamental point: by holding "Taiwanese unification" as the imaginary balm to keep the public's attention off of their actual problems, even though unification wouldn't solve China's problems by a long shot, the CCP is able to keep national attention off of their concrete problems and on a projected dream, the final symbolic attainment of "Making China Great Again." If China forces the issue and becomes history's new pariah - if Xi becomes the new Hitler - the Chinese people would see how empty the dream was. The war and ensuing global backlash would devastate China. Only by *not* unifying can Taiwan maintain its real value to the CCP.

Good video, but I think it's important to also note how costly an invasion of Taiwan would be for China, in terms of international trade. I think that the evidence that you present could also be interpreted to mean that China wants to create a situation where it's clear that they could take over Taiwan militarily and nobody could stop them. This way they could force everyone's hand and push for peaceful reunification. China could also wait until a more China-friendly politician is in power in Taiwan and then create a situation where they would be faced with a choice between a war that is very likely to devastate Taiwan and a reunification on attractive terms. Anyway, the military scenario definitely can't be excluded and the advice to not travel to Taiwan in April, May and August is solid.

Before 2022 I used to believe that Russia would never fully invade Ukraine and that China would never invade Taiwan as long as it continued to be a US backed ally. I thought Putin and Xi were evil but smart and rational actors who wouldn't cross certain lines. Unfortunately, the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine did end up completely changing my worldview on these countries. His actions in Ukraine along with his own speeches and essays on the country have now convinced me that Putin is an insane imperialist. And it has made me more concerned for Taiwan since China has almost the same irredentist and expansionist ambitions. When I see people claiming it would be ''irrational'' for China to invade Taiwan and listing the negative impacts it would have, I am not convinced by it because it's almost the same arguments people would claim to deny a Russian invasion of Ukraine ever happening. I'm just preparing for it mentally and hoping for the best.

sound terrifying, but it isn't: 15:30 china can't prevent telegraph their moves, russia take almost a month of obvious preparations in a land invasion, and this will be a sea invasion, the few Ro-Ro ship able to transport vehicles take a lot of time to load, not to mention that their "carrier" take between 24-48 hrs of buildup power to began movement. attacking while their carrier are docked or only sending troops will be a "peculiar" kind of invasion. 16:30 all war gaming in US are playing in losing condition, not much can be learn if your army roflstomp the enemy. 18:00 the "empty bins" reports was about the extra munition, not the strategic munition already reserved for that conflict in particular, a case cloud be make that said reserves can't be replenished for the second invasion, but that a highly theorical scenario. 23:00 The default mentioned is referred to the "house market bubble" and since china give priority to chinese debtors is a reason for the disparities in defaults 24:00 an approximate 20% increase in import when is projecting to doubling their consumption won't necessarily indicate a stockpiling of coal, also, even when Saudis do not adhere to sanctions, their ports will be blockaded and no sensible insurance company will allow ships to travel in a warzone, no to mention that said companies are all western companies. others topics no mentioned and that may affect the invasion, many are rumor, many are unconfirmed: - 24:40 even when there is no official intelligence about their silos, their storage techniques seem to be so abysmal the a 30%-65% of the grain is lost each year. - Lack of vertical integration of china chain of command, xi doesn't receive strategic info, as it happen with the spy ballon debacle, china blackouts, china covid deaths, young unpleoyment, erroneous census data, etc. etc - corruption: Same as russia, reaching critical level if the rumor of their third carrier, cracked for the faulty steel used. - long war: it is clear that sweeping victories of territory like the first russian invasion of ukranie aren't happening again, sanctions will be playing even a bigger role than now and will affect even more the chinese economy. - Freedom of navigation: will US defend chinese interest overseas? that alone open a whole can of worms....

Mediocre analysis that skips many points that are relevant to the topic. Currently, China have many socio-economics problems like housing market crisis, health cost skyrocketing, younger generation being dissatisfied with how they can't advance in careers, society getting old etc. and I can agree it can lead to the war. Problems that I have listed would really cut their legs if it would spiral into long conflict like the one in Ukraine, especially since people of China were obedient to the communist rule so long as prosperity continues so Taiwan invasion would be "go fast or go home". You also don't look at broader picture with some arguments used, for example - blood donations. China really struggles with blood shortage since covid policies and disease itself really scared people away from doing that which in correlation with aging population causes serious shortages which makes government take action towards helping with issue hence bonus social score for it. You can't attribute everything to war effort just because it fits your vision without factchecking

[@dandaintac388]

Aaron, although there are plausible alternative explanations for many items you list as reasons to believe China will invade, all of them put together are very compelling, and I've reached the same conclusion as you before I saw this video. A cautionary note about US war games, I swear every US war game winds up with the US losing bad. I think the purpose is to stack the odds against the US, and assume everything goes perfectly for the opposition, and that they have far greater competency than usually turns out to be the case. The idea is to highlight potential problems on our side so we can address them. For example, I seem to remember reading in the late 80s about US war games that show Iraq rolling to victory over US/Saudi forces. I think in the event of an attempt Chinese invasion, it would go very bad for them. Amphibious operations are the most complex and difficult of all military operations, and as far as I can tell, China has zero experience at all, and the Chinese military only limited combat experience generally. As you note, there are only a few beaches on Taiwan where an amphibious operation is even possible, and only a few months out of the year where it is possible The Chinese troops will be drafted, and the Taiwanese will be fighting for their lives and homes. The USA and Taiwan will know months in advance when an invasion is coming, and where. They will mine the straights and the beaches are already mined. The straights will become a bloody kill zone, with mines, shells and missiles slaughtering the invasion fleet. Taiwan will set the beaches on fire, and there will be razor wire, booby traps, and the mountains above the beaches have thousands of artillery pieces in bunkers and under camouflage nets, ready to rain millions of shells on the invasion beaches. And I have no doubt there are thousands more decoy artillery pieces as well. Taiwan has bunkers, tunnels, pillboxes galore all over the island, and will call up a million or more reservists. China's army will suffer from the usual problems we see with authoritarian societies--lack of initiative, officers afraid to make sound tactical decisions on-site, and waiting for orders from very high up. Troops being lied to that it is only an exercise, and lacking motivation. A total lack of regard from high up for the basic welfare of the ordinary soldier. Unrealistic goals motivated by politics rather than military considerations. A strong motivation on the part of junior officers to exaggerate gains and achievements, and downplay setbacks and losses. Lack of a sound, professional NCO corp. Taiwan has stockpiles of fuel, food and ammo, and in the months leading up to the invasion, the US and Japan will airlift in a lot more. The risks to China are enormous. None of China's neighbors appears likely to assist them, and many inclined more to assist Taiwan. Taiwan will declare independence, and if it appears likely to succeed, there will be many more who will recognize Taiwan as an independent nation. Failure to succeed will be a truly massive loss-of-face for China, and the CCP's premier, Xi or his successor, would almost certainly be deposed, maybe executed.

Japan and Korea may also have to bow to China because most of their energy supplies and trades go through the Taiwan strait.

这么估计是很愚蠢的我说实话，生意是双向的，俄罗斯只是停了能源交易就能在欧洲市场掀起巨浪，中国的对外贸易体量可是远远大于俄罗斯的哦🫡就现在欧美对俄罗斯的这个样，我打赌他们不敢真的因为台湾放弃中国
