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.

The US and its allies have military assets in SK, Japan, Guam, Australia, the Philippines, and other Pacific territories. The Japanese naval fleet alone can sink the entire Chinese fleet if it so desired.

[@johndoe-vp2iy]

A grunt who serve a bit in the past is now somehow a military strategy expert? The only thing you are right about is that Taiwan is nothing like Ukraine, Ukraine is massive, where Taiwan is literally a super small island a little more than 100 km from the coast of China. Not to mention it is a small island that is hard to supply unlike Ukraine and China has missiles that can be launched from the coast that can reach Taiwan. Plus, the Japanese fleet, really? The data stands, China has the second-best Navy after the US, Japan has a self-defense force after it got neuter after WW2. Also, there is enough beef between China and Japan, and I doubt Japan wants to provoke China further, less they want another sun. And how dedicated do you think the US will be willing to send in their soldiers?

[@hangtuah888]

You sounded like an ignorant person you are? Maybe you are brainwashed to the extent you lost any faculty of rational thought. As a Chinese from the diaspora, the Province of Taiwan is and always will be an inalienable part of China however you want to cut it. Of the three countries divided by the quirk of history, only one country has been reunited and no prize for guessing it is a Caucasian country and today two Asian countries stand apart and should be immediately reunited. Hope to see it in my lifetime. Yes, the Taiwanese Parliament indulge in liberal discourse. Obviously you did not see the brawls, shoe throwing, spitting and punches so often a feature of the Taiwanese legislators. You call that political discourse, I call it brawling. Maybe you want to have your eyes check before you access the internet. Sure if you have shite for brain, I can see where you are coming from.

Stop everything and seat to talk, not in that endless meetings that never come with a solution, but just postponed and postponed. It must be something different fast and pragmatic.

Well, South Korea's position on Taiwan independence is quite complicated. This is because they also have reunification issue. Even Koreans have their own version of "One Korea Principle". They just have not forced any other members of the international community to recognise it. So technically speaking, South Korea says they hope for any kind of peaceful resolution on Taiwan-China relations, so may support the defence of Taiwan, not the independence of Taiwan. We have never made it clear that we will militarily react if China invades Taiwan. Now you can see Seoul's ambiguity has made military planners in China confused and has made it more complicated to plan the invasion. Because both Korean and Chinese may unconsciously agree that they don't know what South Korean will do in Taiwan contingency but know South Korean will do "something" which can make Chinese invasion of Taiwan crippled.

[@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.

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.

If anything Putin waited to attack for just this scenario while everyone is distracted by domestic issues. It was only three years ago when the former U.S. president was talking about leaving NATO saying it took more from the U.S. than it gives so again, what benefit are you talking about? If you're talking military industrial complex then if anything, Germany's was the absolute biggest beneficiary of the Russian conflict with Rheinmetall having the largest gains. If you're justifying the attack due to NATO expansion, then congratulations Finland and Sweden will be joining now. Nobody said anything when Russia invaded Georgia and annexed Crimea so if anything, it's been Russia expanding in the last few years. You ask who benefits from Russia attacking its neighbors?
