Taiwan and the China South Sea Mega Thread

[BlueOak]

Japan moves missiles on their islands to cover Taiwan, and their own islands in the area.
After rising tensions, ongoing threats from China against Japanese islands, and Japan stating they'd intervene in any threat against Taiwan.
 

One of many Chinese: China South Sea expansion plans, moving their vessels into other countries' waters and pushing us closer to a larger war.

China's usual provocation is barely worth a mention but its a potential flashpoint as Japan has ordered their troops to be ready, and Taiwan is entering a greater state of readiness for 2026, which is when the invasion is predicted to be. If it happens so is WW3. 2026 - 2027 (Though you might suggest we are already in a world war state)
 

 

China's stoking of nationalism on the small, everyday level

 

I guess if China is grabbing Taiwan and the south China Sea, Russia Ukraine and the Baltics, Israel, Iran, America and Turkey Syria, Then Greenland is just another target in the US's mind:

 

The thing is Europe needs the US against Russia and China, so this might be the price: to accept American land grabs. Until it gets its act together more and forms an EU military.

I traveled to Taiwan for 2 weeks in 2016 and it was one of the best trips I ever had.  They call it the Heart of Asia, which it really is.  Look into the history to get a pretext as to why that is.  One of the most integrous place I've ever been/seen!  And they still have temples as they were not torn down, as they were in other places.
