One would hope. Maybe though we should secretly arm the Taiwanese with a few nuclear weapons of their own. If possessing them is the great deterrent that everyone claims they are then letting Taiwan into the club puts up a mighty barrier to ChiCom aggression.

Or does it ? Giving Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan etc nukes- wouldn't it be better to be protected by a superpower who has nukes. I know for a fact what's going to happen if China make real of their threat and start to invade Taiwan-From UN, EU, USA there will only come harsh words and condemnation AND economical sanctions. Off topic input to the response from western country if China does attack Taiwan. (When Putin Know how weak Western is-Russia will invade Ukraine) End off topic input. Markus

"Whether that will happen is questionable - not least because of the increasing economic dependence on China" This is why there wouldn't come a military response-If China does attack Taiwan. Markus

How could it better? We've just been discussing the reluctance of a superpower to start a nuclear war on behalf of another country. I believe that the atomic shield does not extend to others.

The best way to influence China would be for the western world to mutually agree to cease trading with them.....as if that would ever happen.

"Maybe though we should secretly arm the Taiwanese with a few nuclear weapons of their own....." That made me think otherwise. He's right, giving them nukes would make China think twice before attacking. Then I came to think of preventing spreading of nukes. That's why I continued with Or does it.... As you have mentioned-If China use nukes as a last resort - USA will reply with nukes. USA will not be the one who start using nukes-I doubt it to be honest. If USA lose the war against China-I don't think they would use nukes as a last resort. Markus

I agree with Jim but I doubt the various governments would have the b_lls to act.

I doubt the vast majority of the population receive any benefit because of that.

Their biggest wealth is incarnated in the wonderful and holy god-emperor of theirs . In his family's secret banking accounts, I mean.

China must see a tempting opportunity here:
https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/24/p...sea/index.html German media report two US carrier groups and a Japanese helcopter carrier "stay nearby", but China has some tools avalable, too, nanmely undersea robots and drones. It is to be hoped that they know precisely where the plane hit the sea bottom, so that they can guard the location against too pesky Chinese.
