I mean, I agree, but that doesn’t mean China could “win” in an offensive military action against Taiwan. Taiwan is literally a fortress and Taiwan/China cultural overlap is too significant to drive strong warmongering sentiment.
An invasion is such a silly suggestion that it doesn’t even need consideration. At best, it would be a pyrrhic victory with millions dead on both sides and the island in ruins.
The far more likely scenario is a blockade, sorry, “economic embargo” of Taiwan… Of course, Cuba is a clear example of how a blockade economic embargo doesn’t really work, so…
China and Russia have funded and installed infrastructure to increase the quality of life (as in, keep the politicians elected, as well as put into their debt and influence) of most countries that aren’t either directly touching America, a part of Western Europe, or down Australia way.
So US, Canada, Mexico, a lot of South America, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, UK, Ireland, Scotland, all of the EU (27 countries with an 18 trillion gdp), any other western aligned or NATO countries Norway, Iceland, Australia and more…
Against china and a country with a smaller economy than Texas… you got things backwards.
… try… they’re going to try to take over Taiwan.
No, they would very thoroughly lose. China’s in no condition to take on the US, let alone decouple its economy from the global community.
“global” is turning out to be a small handful of countries, and the other block is actively securing the rest of the world into their influence

That would undoubtedly be a victory for China. A ruined island can be rebuilt and kept forever. An independent island cannot.
Hahaha sure thing mate.
