China and Russia have a lot to gain. By keeping the USA chasing its tail.

Taiwan is no longer recognized as a nation by most countries.

We dont need a war. Come on we have another more serious issue in the world. Why we have children and not leader on power

Just foolish Chinese jingoism. If China had the nerve & ability, it would've taken Taiwan already. Unless China has global strategic bases, strategic bombers, ships with surface-to-air capabilities & amphibian crafts, Taiwan invasion would be disastrous. Also, NATO might enter.

China have started enough this year

China's action should be stopped. Leave Taiwan alone! Taiwan is a free democratic country.

Then by all means.....

Ha. The chips are down and the mask is falling off thise dragon fangs...

Just the cherry on top of the 2020 shit pile.

War with China is inevitable.

Think about China putting troops in Alaska.

Tensions have... I see a David/Goliath thing happening here. P.S. S. & N. Korea may just have pushed the tension further in Asia.

China feels confident with the chaos of global affairs and they are poised for a military takeover of Taiwan. IMHO
