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.
They are totally going to invade while he’s president. And then they will save it was an accident, they meant to invade Hong Kong and it was an island and someone made a mistake - and Trump will believe them because he is so bad at geography, people, and being discerning.
Sorry Taiwan, you might have to take one for the team here.
China have better scopes than the previous guy

Because that’s all that matters.
Trump is such a pathetic weakling, and the US is a joke.
