Why China Will Collapse If it Invades Taiwan

[@kingnaga619]

Something to note about US military analyses and scenarios, is that the reason they always seem to take staggering losses is the same reason we are the top military in the world. They aren’t for show. We don’t assume dominance and basically do nothing like Chinese and Russian sims. We give our enemy every possible advantage and assume everything that could go wrong or against us has. THAT is the starting point for US military sims. Working on the worst possible footing against an enemy with every possible advantage. The idea being that if we are ready for that, there is no way in hell the real thing will be anything like it.

The West can't support the second China, because China's infrastructure and market can't be replicated. Even if you build factories in other countries, you still need to export to China in the end.

He said that Taiwan was an independent country in 1949 but that is simply not the case. The ROC and Chiang Kai Shek claimed to be the legitimate government of mainland China. Taiwan’s status is still a gray area. Taiwan has never had a referendum on independence or declared independence. Only 13 countries recognize Taiwan and United States doesn’t have an embassy in Taipei. Also some of Taiwan’s territory such as Kinmen (Quemoy) and Matsu Island were never ceded to Japan in 1895 by the Treaty of Shimonoseki only Taiwan and Penghu.

[@thornados4969]

@@Bk6346 The year 1949 was the landing of Chinese refugees to Taiwan. ROC was indeed the only legitimate government of China with inheritance documents signed by Qing government. ROC never inherited China's territory to PRC so by law, the communist state is illegal. All countries in the world recognize Taiwan as a country by either dejure or defacto diplomatic relations. Even China has to deal with travel documents although they make it appear as a special arrangement but the contact relation is the same. The only gray area is that ROC's UN seat was robbed by the PRC instead of giving a new seat for the PRC while maintaining it as a representative government of Taiwan in the 1971 UN resolution. Nevertheless, Taiwan became independent from Japan by default in the 1951 treaty. Japan and the USA (victor) permitted ROC in the 1952 treaty as the government of Taiwan until Taiwan fulfilled its right of self-determination.

China's biggest weakness is lack of natural resources. Most notably oil. They've had plenty of time to stockpile from russia (who's currently selling their oil on the cheap to try to keep the economy going) and from their other sources to include stock from the US emergency petroleum reserve (thanks, Brandon. I sure hope they were paying you a ton). That stockpile will quickly dry up and the US is sitting on some of the largest unused oil wells on the planet. This lack of in-house oil production is what crippled Japan in WWII. China would have to try to use the same tactic of taking over oil-rich territories. NATO obviously would not sit by with that happening.

[@bemusedpanda8875]

Russia would keep supplying them with oil no matter what. China has close ties with Russia so they will never have an oil shortage.

[@BatMan-oe2gh]

Typical MAGA, blame Biden for everything. United States did release millions of barrels of oil from a national stockpile, called the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), to be sold on the global market in June 2022. Once this oil was "released," it went up for auction for energy companies to purchase, and once the oil was purchased, it was shipped around the globe. Among several countries that received the shipments was China. But industry experts noted that this was not unusual; The United States often exports oil to that country, or overseas in general. Also, under federal laws, the government cannot dictate where oil gets shipped once companies purchase it. So while some oil was indeed shipped from the U.S. to China in 2022, this wasn't directly decided by the Biden administration. As for Hunter Biden's connection to these rumours, the president's son used to be a member of an equity firm that once purchased a stake in an oil company owned by the Chinese government. In 2022, that company, Sinopec, purchased oil from the above-mentioned U.S. oil reserve, the SPR, via its American-based company, Unipec. However, Hunter was no longer a member of the equity firm at the time of that sale, and there was no evidence that Sinopec received oil via the SPR for any other reason than it submitted one of the highest bids to pay for its barrels. The SPR is a tool used to alleviate the market impacts of both domestic and international disruptions, cause by weather, natural disasters, labor strikes, technical failures/accidents, political disputes or conflicts. Decisions to withdraw crude oil in the event of an energy emergency are made by the President under the authority of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act and done through a competitive sale. The SPR is always drawdown ready, which means it stands ready to release crude oil to the market within 13 days of Presidential direction; this is the time it takes to conduct the sales process, award contracts and to arrange the logistics for oil transportation. In March 2022, the Biden administration used that authority, announcing that it ordered for the release of millions of barrels of crude oil from the SPR, in an attempt to stabilize supply and lower global oil prices. A few weeks after this announcement, the DOE announced that it had awarded contracts to 12 companies to purchase 30 million barrels of that oil. In addition to signing contracts with those oil companies, the DOE said, the Biden administration worked with 30 countries that are part of the International Energy Agency to secure the collective release of more than 60 million barrels of oil. America also has a storage of 700 million barrels of oil. The Department of Energy will use the revenue from the release to restock the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in future years.

Just a curious question, how would China's "Belt Road Initiative" play into this model of economic collapse if that initiative is to install military bases, ports, or other means of Chinese presence to increase relations with host countries, therefore possibly initializing trade agreements of some sort. If that were to succeed, would China still have to worry about sanctions by major economies like the US, or could it survive for a certain duration before seeing an economic collapse? Great video, and great use of reputable sources like the CSIS and POGO.

[@00110000]

Sanctions matter the most from economic powerhouses. The Belt and Road Initiative almost exclusively targets developing and economically... dubious countries. The only notable exception was Italy, and they just recently decided to opt out of the program anyway. That's not to say you don't have a point; China's strategy to make allies in Africa and Central Asia using this program has given them significant geopolitical backing. However, that doesn't translate to economic security. In fact, quite the opposite, considering how much they've overpaid for that goodwill and how rough a lot of those projects turned out to be.

The issue I see in the CSIS report was that they assume that China will be on par with the military of the allied nations of Japan, US, UK, etc. They based it only on the number of assets and soldiers that China has. China is not well known to have a good military tactics and most of their tactics deals with only sending more and more of their people wishing it will overwhelm their enemies and win rather than creating strategies just like in the Korean war and even right now in the conflict with the Philippines in the South China Sea on which they send more of their ships which often times were meaningless because the Philippine ships who were fewer in number were still able to escape from them and fulfill their missions of supplying the Philippine outpost. With this in mind, China in a war will end up several times more losses to the US and its allies who had more battle experience and advanced assets.

The current situation is actually pretty simple: Information technology reached a level where it soon trigger an economic impact, similar to the industrial revolution. Money based economy is outdated on the current technological level and soon will collapse like Industrialism killed the feudal systems. Now autocratic systems are can't handle this as in a democracy, you can vote for a new leader, or the old one can leave. Look how British leadership changed after Brexit. If the UK would be an autocratic system, the public would already rise, and they would murder the leader who first came out with the idea of Brexit but as it's a democracy, they voted it, they were the idiots they can't blame anyone, and the leadership just changed as no-one wanted to be responsible for it. In an autocratic system it's not so easy. But the changes are coming, and global events like the pandemic quickly point out the struggle of the old economic system. And here autocratic leaders feel their doom and need to react to it. Putin made the first step, and now he's doomed his fate. Xi now try to find out another way without do the same mistakes. And the rest of the world just watch and wait and not realize, that this is far bigger change than what we now can see.

Taiwan's security exchange regulation does not allow so called "red money" from China to invest in Taiwan company. To prevent precision the security risk scenario you mentioned.

What if NK joins.

Yea right, like you know the future lmao🤣

In 1992, Taiwan was still not a full democratic country.

[@jumpingjohnflash]

And China still isn't. What's your point exactly?

Oh God. Imitating the infographics show is never ever a good idea.

china will grow stronger as it will have a monopoly on the semiconductor production.

Factually incorrect

[@Provocateur3]

14:50 For me, fully arming Taiwan necessarily includes arming the civilian population. The ROC rank & file has no tradition of personal self-defense or civilian gun ownership. So, not only does the government have to change, the people also have to change. Until all this happens, I really don't favor the US putting American live at risk for them.

[@recoil53]

It's not necessarily for Taiwan, as some Republican candidates have made clear. It's because Taiwan is a strategic resource - they make volume of semi-conductors and high end chips too. If you want to slow down Chinese AI development, you need to keep high end GPUs out of their hands. And to mess with China.

As an Indian student i can tell you China will not succeed alone, but RIC will make it happen after a proper negotiation among them, that's why Taiwan is free until India become double digit economy then very easily India can do a quid pro quo deal with china for Taiwan and then no alliance can match RIC after 10-15 years ,no one.🇮🇳❤️🇷🇺❤️🇨🇳

I genuinely fear for the Tawainese election if the Pro CCP party wins.

[@ShadowPhoenixMaximus]

The funny thing is that Taiwan has never (in its history) polled in approval of "reunification" with CCP controlled China.

The Chinese Nationalist Party lost the Chinese Civil War in 1949. About 1.2 million Nationalists fled to Taiwan. The next year, Chiang Kai-shek and his generals established the Republic of China (ROC) (Taiwan) with its capital at Taipei. This retreat is also known as the Kuomintang's retreat to Taiwan or the Great Retreat. So, Taiwan is actually the REAL China.

[@Nick-zp8wk]

They lost the right to be called the "real" China when they lost the war. Winner takes all.

[@lifetrees1]

So China (PRC) is actually West Taiwan

[@roberteischen4170]

@@lifetrees1The PRC is a collection of rouge provinces. The ROC never submitted to CCP rule. the ROC would be fine with that, it just wants to be left alone. But you know how Communists are. Minding their own business is the last thing they can do.

[@kisuke47]

Not true. The ROC lost the war they are no longer the rightful government.
