"High street chains forced to shutter their doors, medicine shortages, no phone network, international shipping routes blocked, and the UK’s critical national infrastructure under constant threat. This is not the plot of a disaster movie, but rather the very real potential consequences if China invaded Taiwan.
Tension in the Taiwan Strait is increasing, and experts are now in general agreement that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will attempt to take Taiwan using force. 67 per cent of US experts polled in January by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said they expected a crisis in the Taiwan Strait in the next six months…"

China is not going to invade you fucking war mongering ghouls. They literally have no need to.

Like they didn’t invade Tibet, or exert their dominance over Hong Kong?
You know tibet was a feudal slave state before right? It made sense that, whilst throwing off their own shackles, they popped next door and got rid of those liege lords as well. You also know that the only people from Hong Kong who actually complain are rich business owners upset that they can’t exploit the poor like they could under British rule?
Taiwan was been a nationalist hold out ruled under a military dictatorship for most of its existence. Their leadership does not represent the will of the Chinese people, they are literally just a US puppet.
They will reintegrate with the mainland peacefully, despite western attempts to stir up a regional war. All the US can offer is blood and subjugation under capital. China offers progress and peace.
