China didn't take direct action on Taiwan when Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden were Presidents. But of course it's Trump who is keeping them from doing something.
Xi will invade Taiwan when the opportunity comes up, when the US/West is distracted elsewhere with another war. Trump is trying to start one with Venezuela and Columbia as we speak, and Russia is tiptoeing the line trying to see how far they can push NATO with drone incursions, sabotage etc before Europe finally bites back. It seems like the exact opposite is true here, Xi will attack Taiwan while Trump is in office.
Direct action against Taiwan is unlikely. There's no scenario where an invasion happens and the chip manufacturing stays intact. What is likely is China invades elsewhere with increased influence over Taiwan as a goal.
They're going to say stupid shit no matter what happens. Worrying about it is pointless. Those who are paying attention will see it for what it is and those who aren't will not. Such is life
This is probably another instance of Trump thinking his lies will become reality.
We’ve seen this before. He must think if he lies about someone else’s actions, they’ll have to make the lie true to save face. It is the dumbest form of coercion. It doesn’t work with the leader of fucking China.
LOL Xi ping ping (c'mon my pinoys, it'd funny)....xi ping ping is 72 years old. He has a good 20 years before he croaks. But Xi, if you are reading, start counting because you can't cheat that bitch. Death is a biatch and is coming for you.

Meaning that he will absolutely take Taiwan and Trump will just rollover and let it happen. So much for "strongman leader". Trump's a gigantic pussy.

FFS.
Stroke Trumps ego for favors, and at the same time do not commit to not taking Taiwan. Win-Win for Xi.

I'll bet money that China attacks Taiwan before 2030 because that is unilaterally what they have said for fucking decades.
I have no doubt the rising tensions in the south China sea are them aligning to make good on this continued promise.
I'd bet money it happens before trump is out of office. Id bet it's before fucking November 2028.

This means Xi is about to invade Taiwan. Trumpstein is a weak, predictable child. And everything he says is an act of confession.

addled by dementia, and pathologically narcissistic - he's the best kind of president for what they want to do.

Honestly this was my immediate thought. Nearly everything that comes out of his mouth is wrong.

As the PRC hasn't invaded Taiwan in over 75 years, I suppose it won't do so in the next 3 years.
PattyMcB@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 300d
If Trump said it won't happen, it probably will happen. You heard it here first!

Now that Nvidia failing will cripple the US, I don't doubt they actually WILL invade (since that's where all of the Nvidia GPUs come from)

Xi: How can we invade Taiwan when you have a gargantuan penis?
Trump: Gynah won't invade Taiwan cause I have a gargantuan penis!
