I think it inevitable Taiwan will eventually be forced to succumb to China and I doubt the US would risk a nuclear exchange as a result.

I do agree with Sky though when you consider much of the Chinese control and wealth is provided from the west at grass roots level.

Well Jim you must read the papers early than the rest of us or you have a crystal ball if so why arent you laying on a beech some where with your private yacht?

Well news in China has just announced it isnt ruling out force to reunify Tiawan and China

Not only that could we afford a war on two fronts Iran also playing up and likely could ally with China in any real war.

Pretty good beach in my home town but wouldn't advise being there atm unless you have brass balls.

Would a diecast yacht count?

Reading this thread and the other thread about China, some scenes from books written by Tom Clancy popped up in my head.

Get used to it - China is the coming world power.
The US can age in dignity or wear out under the pressure of the dragon.
Oh yes - in this context, Mexico is one of the allies of China.
Not that the activities of the inglorious Presidents Nixon and Trump still block the (US) Americans from migrating to better economies.

China, or lets say its current dictatorship, obviously doubts a US retaliation, and up to until something really happens it us just testing how far it can go. I have not heard the EU saying something about that at all, of course..

Another word that comes into my mind is.

High risk Poker.

(I'm not so good at poker-phrases)

China seems to be making an all-in, in their poker game with USA and its allied and they hope USA and its allied are bluffing.
