Missiles, missiles, missiles.Drones, drones, drones. More of both than China could ever hope to take out. Dont plant trees on Taiwan. Plant missiles instead.

Fighters, ships, tanks, will just get picked up and taken out one by one. China is numerically hopelessly superior, any air force or navy joining the fight will simply get wiped out. Like Russia can afford high losses in Ukraine, China can over Taiwan.

Taiwan uses to build its most modern chip production sites in the imminent vicinity of important military bases. So that any strike at these bears the uncalculated risk to take out these rroduction centres, too, and since Taiwan refuses to build the best of its best chip and wafer production outside Taiwan (they dont do it in Europe and they dont do it in the US, its just older second and third grade stuff they agree to build in overseas), such destruction would hurt everybody: the wiorld, the West, China as well.

However, Xi has made it a priority to become able to replace this top technology from Taiwan as well, with Chinese production. And sooner or later China will be abkle to do it, its just a quesiton of time. Then the best protection maybe that Taiwan has, is neutralized, the silicon defensive shield will no more be. And then things become interesting at the latest.

Taiwan would be insane to put trust in internaitonbal diplomatic mumbo jumbo. The last candidate doing that, were Ukraine, and before Honkong. Both pay for their naivety.

After Putin's attack on Ukraine, nothing should surprise us anymore. Possible that Xi attacks just for reason of some historic jubilee, absolutely imaginable. He is the most powerful Chinese leader since many centuries, and works on establishing a family dynasty, a new emperor house. Such scope of goals and timeplans is beyond what Western politics usually can grasp and understand. Especially a Trump who always thinks just in "deals". Xi does not do just "deals". Xi has a meeting with destiny itself. At least that is what he thinks. And what he thinks is what motivates him , not what we want him to tick by.

And with tiem apssing by, with every year and every month, China become sstronger and the US gets weaker and so does the whole West. Or does anyone think the Europeans will play a deciisve role in any war over Taiwan or the South Chinese Sea? Heck, we cant even keep our own house in order and then we play games on the other side of the planet? Dont make me laugh.


Europe is now nothing but a whining club of degenerate old nations, mourning their past empires and Europe's lost former significance. Not even a shadow of its former status, but only the echo of a memory that this shadow was what it ended with.
