It does not matter either if they attack Taiwan directly, or blockade it. The onyl quesiton is whzat brings China closer to its goal to getb Taiwan for the lower costs to its own forces.


Andf the world? The only foreogn forc ein the region capable to really do about it, is the US, not France, not Britain. Is it easier for the US to fight a bloackde or to prevent in vading troops carriers crossing the straits under heavy missile and aerial protection?


And then there will be those loonies arguing that a blockade is no war and that we should do nothing to provoke China.



If China finds it cheaper to strnagle Taiwian by bloackde, why wouldnt it do it? Note, most nations on the globe by now are ANTI-West, not pro-West. We now have the strongest anti-Western block in international politics there ever has been. Democrcies are in decline. Autocracies are on the rise. Existing democracies in the West increasingly are under attack from within. The old world order from twenty years ago or even just ten years ago, is no more.


And now we also have to deal with inflation that we have created ourselves. It still gets underestimated, its unbelievable.
