the sanctions China did to Korea kinda backfired on them because not only did Korean companies move their factories to other countries like India and Vietnam, China lost a lot of business as these Korean companies changed their manufacturing locations. To add to that, China didnt know it was so reliant on South Korean technologies like semiconductors and memory chips that it set back China's technological sector by years

[@Goffyuno]

Kishore Mahbubani...what a mouth full, however, Mr. Mahbubani is spot on. Keeping peace in Taiwan Strait, the best option is to maintain the status quo. It worked for the past 70 years but the political climate has changed on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In Taipei, Taiwan the new president Tasi Ing-Wen and her party (Progressive Party) are pushing for Taiwan's Independence. On the China side, Beijing is no longer the weak man of Asia of a generation ago. Today, China is an economic and military superpower. Beijing is ready for unification with Taiwan by peaceful means but force will be used if Taiwan pushes for an INDEPENDENCE. Now comes the United States. who sees China as the only global competitor capable to replace America as the sole dominating power in the 21st century. This path to collision is like the ancient Peloponnesian War between Athans (dominant power) and Sparta (ascending rising military power) in 400 BC. Something has to give and Athenians did not budge and lost the war. If U.S. and China go to war, it will be the end of the civilization with nuclear strikes by hypersonic missiles and sub-launched missiles. There is no winner and no place is safe. Concession must be made between great powers to co-exist or not exist at all.

I am getting paid, I get 19000RMB every month right now, and I am living in Sweden. Yes, I get 3 times more money than friend who is working at 北大 as a substitute Chinese teacher for foreigners. How much do you pay for Hospital and medicine? Mine is free and free. The CCP is an awful government and the state under the CCP is corrupt from the bottom to the top at all levels it is leaking with rot.

After Taiwan was sold to Japan in 1895, the indigenous people sought independence from Japan. When Japan signed the WWII armistice, had Chiang Kai-Shek been accepted by the Taiwan indigenous peoples?

[@wengsoonyuen2086]

The KMT did not seek legitimacy with the native Taiwanese but ruled with a series of military dictatorships for decades.

They should change the name of the country to something like the Federal Republic of Taiwan and renounce any claims to the mainland. It is possible that China might start a conflict over this but at least it could unite other countries in recognizing Taiwan outside of seeing it as part of China.

As a compermise~ the Taiwanese government should give "Taiwan" to China. Change the name Hainan island to Taiwan and Beijing can easily re-educate its population that Hainan has always been Taiwan. Taiwanese government can do a fully transparent* vote on changing the country's name to "Formosa" *Everyone can vote online and people can verify their vote that'll have all names of voters (including what they voted for) shown. e.g You will be Joel.M25252 (a 1-5 digit number will be issued)

Taiwan and the PRC have been separate for 70 years and outside of a 4-year period, has not had much influence over the last 500 years.

[@taiwanisacountry]

That is mostly correct, I would say that China had real and actual positive control of all of Taiwan for a whole 40 years. Japan did land on the Northern coast of Taiwan without Qing knowing about it, and only found out because the British saw the Japanese land on Taiwan. How come? They did not have real control over the Southern part. And it was not positive, it was cruel leaders who restricted the Taiwanese population from mining iron(it could be used to make weapons against the Qing) that is a real policy implement onto Taiwan.

For those who support Taiwan, I have a suggestion. Let the Taiwanese who do not want to be Chinese leave Taiwan and go to your country, such as Japan, the United States, and India, to draw a piece of territory in your country and establish an independent country, so that everyone will be happy.

[@rodolfo_garcia_1]

They did and move from mainland China to the island of Taiwan during the civil war. Taiwan has independently governed itself without the influence of the CCP. How about letting the Taiwanese people decide their future in an election? Or does the CCP fear democratic elections?

[@hasanchoudhurymd]

Just like Ukraine Taiwan has the right to be independent. But Taiwan must hold out for many days before help can arrive. No substitutes for total self defense like Ukraine Singapore! Sanctions against China may take time to be effective.

[@wengsoonyuen2086]

I hope the US and other democratic countries learn from the Russian invasion of Ukraine that it is better to send/sell modern arms to Taiwan first rather than after it has been invaded. Still amazed by all the effectiveness of Western arms against the Russians. Just imagine if Taiwan possesses the missiles to blow up the Three Gouges dam.

The residents of Taiwan should examine with who and why Taiwan is likely to have a war, find a solution to resolve the conflict peacefully and before a conflict is brewing, do not depend on countries and people from thousand miles away to protect your peace, as it comes with a price and often behind their own interest.

I am praying for people in United States to stand up to corporate fascism tyranny they are living under right now. If despots like Biden, Graham, McCain will be rid off, Trump will bring stability. None of this would have happened if United States government and secret services would not breed extremism in Ukraine aimed at Belarus and Russia. Taiwan should beware not to be used the same way Ukraine was. China will in a blink of an eye follow the same route as Russia when they will be pushed by United States.

[@casualsuede]

Taiwan needs to setup a local defense outpost in every Taiwanese neighborhood where they keep an armoury of weapons for every resident that is run by the local police. Unless every able Taiwanese person is armed and trained, they won't be able to defend against china. Also, does taiwan have a mandatory military service like South Korea and Israel? If not, they need to start.

[@TonymanCS]

That's not that important, the war will be won or lost on ability to control access to the seas around Taiwan. China won't make a move until they neutralize all US air and naval assets in Japan and South Korea to protect their supply convoys. This is why this potential conflict won't be the same as Ukraine.

They have mandatory military service since 1949. Bizarrely though that the Taiwanese government has steadily reduced mandatory military service from 3 years across all branches in the 1970s to _4 months_ today. 4 months! Makes your recruits very formidable facing world's largest army across the strait that's been honing their skill and assets to take over the island for the past 70 years. They also changed from conscription to volunteered enlistment in as recent as 2018. Why is that? Because the Taiwanese voters don't like it, to serve and die for the defense of the island. All these, while ramping up the anti-China rhetoric at home to historical height (the voters do like that one). Very smart people, you see.
