Comment on Trump says Xi told him China will not invade Taiwan while he is US president

That’s because China has been saying for decades that they have no interest in invading Taiwan. And that’s because they know that invading Taiwan, even with an overwhelming military victory, will not achieve their aim. Taiwan will adopt the 1 nation 2 systems structure through a peaceful process or not at all. China has been saying this over and over again. The only people talking about invasion are the US and the only time China talks about military action on Taiwan is to stop the US from deploying significant military capabilities. Which means, that if the US doesn’t want China to invade, all it has to do is stop trying to build up its military capabilities on the island.

You’re very articulate for someone born yesterday.

Only fools would believe the incessantly lying US war machine that has lied for decades about its reasons for war, its plans for war, and its opponents. When China says it’s going to do something, it seems pretty clear that it goes and does that thing. China has been crystal clear about not using military force to end the decades of estrangement from Taiwan that the West enforced on the Chinese people with gun boats.
If you still think you can trust something that both Nancy Pelosi and Pete Hegseth agree on, I may have a bridge to sell you.

I can believe that the US is lying, no problem, it’s the fact that you eat up Chinese propaganda without an issue that’s impressive.

What propaganda? They have said for decades they won’t attack Taiwan and look at that, they haven’t attacked Taiwan. What exactly am I supposed to believe? That despite all the evidence to the contrary, China really want to attack Taiwan?
