We all must know by now usa very smart to incites and instigates nations to war?? And if opponent is weak usa attack them ?? Like most recent usa attack Syria? Lebanon ?Jordan ? ...

[@BOGOWA22]

Wow, this is a high quality panel discussion on a such a pressing issue across the Pacific. Kudos & 加油, Taiwan! ❤

[@jeromebesson]

Terms as Communist China, or "mainland" should be prohibited. There is but one China in the world and Taiwan is beyond its borders. China has no Taiwan issue since China has no legal claim to Taiwan. But China should be encouraged to solve its "Chinese Kinmen & Matsu" issue ASAP. That issue and only that issue is a domestic issue of China. The US and American Taiwan should refrain from interfering.

[@anomaly2990]

All surrounding allied nations send troops to Taiwan now. 100,000 + troops. Be proactive. Not reactive.

[@ernestodelacruz9392]

Why not give way for Taiwan. To give chance for peace

[@ginaseelig7902]

[@anomaly2990]

We need a coalition of 120,000 + troops on the ground in Taiwan NOW. Along with stockpiles of weapons/ammo fuel and equipment

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

And nuclear weapons

[@ewsdneax61eaxe10]

taiwan should buy more anti-air and anti-ship missiles to defend its freedom.

[@rodrigoestillore331]

Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese are the same people May be it will be easier for them to be reunited but the great obstacles on their reunification is the form of government they are adopting Take China is communist while Taiwan is democratic Although they are the same people Taiwan dont like communism thats why may be Taiwan prepare to enter into war that to shade themselves under the shadow of communism Take it or leave it

Underestimate the Japanese at your own risk, China….I have never seen the Japanese so determined before….

Controlling Bashi Channel and Miyako Strait will seal off the 1st island chain. Chinese Navy will be confined within the 1st island chain shallow water area. It can be called a bathtub navy.

Watching from North America. The panel of 4 individuals no doubt look Chinese to me. They must be educated in the USA and the western world. Quite funny they didn't know they have roots of China.😅😢

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

Lol are you stupid?

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

Of course all Taiwanese historically have han chinese ethnicity. But the Taiwanese are not Chinese 😂 Just because you go to the west for education doesn't mean you share western views. You tend to have made a misconception.

The news media is currently flooded with economic statistics. It takes a lot to see beyond the sea of headlines and focus on what matters, which is that no matter how low equities fall, they always rise again. I completely disregard all news and continue to invest. I recently set aside $45k to invest in the market as we anticipate a meltdown. Do you have any suggestions?

[@TuppenceMiddletonn]

We undervalue the reality that banks are corporate entities governed by greed as well. Banks have been over-leveraging their assets since 2020, which was one of the causes of SVB's demise. I've never felt comfortable with storing a lot of money in the bank. I simply invest through my financial advisor , all I do is to spend my ROI and then reinvest!

There are plenty other fascinating stocks in a variety of industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I recommend working with a financial advisor who can assist you determine the optimal moments to buy and sell the shares or ETFs you want to buy.

I've been in contact with a financial analyst since I started my company. Understanding today's culture When investing in trending stocks, the challenge is determining when to buy and when to sell. My adviser selects entry and exit orders for my portfolio, which has increased by more than $70,000 in just over a year.

@@Ritchie319 ANDREW GLENN ADAMS is my financial advisor. I discovered him while watching a CNBC interview in which he was featured and then contacted him. He has since provided entry and exit points on the securities that I am interested in. If you require monitoring, you can conduct a simple web search using his name. I basically follow his market moves and haven't been disappointed.

Neither the "Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu" nor the "Taiwanese Authorities" that administers the separate customs territory is a state. They do not enjoy national sovereignty. “Taiwan is not independent. It does not enjoy sovereignty as a nation, and that remains our policy, our firm policy.” (Secretary of State Colin Powell) China has no legal claim to Taiwan except for Chinese Kinmen and Matsu. Taiwan has not been part of China. Taiwan used to be part of Japan. Taiwan is not separated from China. Owing to a concealed 71 year-long US (SFPT article 23a “principal occupying power”) occupation implemented by the Chinese-looking proxy on the island, Taiwan is currently separated from Japan. Four steps toward a peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue : 1) Admit that non-Chinese Taiwan is effectively American Taiwan. On April 28, 1952, Japanese Taiwan became American Taiwan, a protectorate or unincorporated territory of the US hiding in plain sight under the rags and tatters of Chinese Nationalism. 2) Invite the Chinese-looking proxy in Taihoku (台北) to vacate Chinese territory Kinmen & Matsu after the inhabitants have been allowed a set period of reflection for deciding whether or not to leave that Chinese territory. Remember that, in contrast to the natives of Taiwan, the inhabitants of Kinmen and Matsu are Chinese by ancestry and by nationality. As a perk to aggrieved Chinese nationalism, transfer to Kinmen the National Palace Museum (故宫博物館) collections. The network of underground military facilities on Kinmen will provide the ideal vault where Chinese authorities will find those treasures when they resume controlling Kinmen. 3) Inform Beijing that once the return of Chinese Kinmen and Matsu under legitimate Chinese control is achieved and China is whole again, the US considers that there is no outstanding issue of the civil war left to chew the fat over. 4) Comply with SFPT article 23 (a) “principal occupying power” clause and put US boots on former Japanese Taiwan, currently American Taiwan. Tsai Ing-wen's 2023 American Taiwan is in the same league a Manuel Quezon's 1934-46 American Philippines. USMC units presently garrisoned on Okinawa in preparation for a Taiwan contingency should be transferred to Taiwan. It is unconscionable to subject the population of Japanese Okinawa to collateral damages. Congress needs to focus like a laser on the currently undetermined legal status of Taiwan and the Penghu Islands. The perennially dissembling weasels at US-DOS should not be left off the hook. Congress needs to demand of US-DOS to fetch from its archives the July 13, 1971 "Starr Memorandum" that President Nixon's Assistant for National Security Affairs Henry Kissinger suppressed at Chou En-lai's urging. -------------- China Has No Legal Claim to Taiwan by Peter C. Hansen Michael Rubin - October 8, 2022 nationalinterest.org/feature/china-has-no-legal-claim-taiwan-205190 AND “… our policy is clear. There is only one China. Taiwan is not independent. It does not enjoy sovereignty as a nation, and that remains our policy, our firm policy. … it is our policy that clearly rests on Three Communiqués. To repeat it one more time: we do not support an independence movement in Taiwan (Secretary of State Colin Powell’s interview with Anthony Yuen of Phoenix TV, China World Hotel, Beijing, China, October 25, 2004 2001-2009.state.gov/secretary/former/powell/remarks/37361.htm ALSO: Sadly, Taiwan is still not a state By Frank Chiang 江永芳 - Sat, Mar 12, 2005 www.taipeitimes.com/News/editorials/archives/2005/03/12/2003245941

Taiwan is not an independent country, but it is an independent nation. As it is not the same nation as the People's Republic of China.

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

Your comment is contradicting itself. You said, and I quote "Taiwan has not been part of China. Taiwan is not separated from China." That is contradicting itself.

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

*"Neither the "Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu" nor the "Taiwanese Authority" that administers the separate customs territory is a state. They do not enjoy national sovereignty. "Taiwan is not independent. It does not enjoy sovereignty as a nation, and that remains our policy, our firm policy." (Secretary of State Colin Powell)"* Colin Powell is no longer in charge. Anything he has said concerning problems that still exist are not acceptable today.

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

I agree that the Islands of Kinmen and Matsu should go to China if China were to take anything, but leave Taiwan and Penghu and other islands that are not a few miles away from China as Taiwan's territory.

[@jeromebesson]

@@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle Thank you for pointing that out. I edited the paragraph accordingly.
