If Biden wins, they will invade and USA will do nothing. [/quote] USA still hasn't recognized Taiwanese independence, would be illegal to side with them [/quote] Lol I love it when people use the word "illegal" in regards to war. As if it matters worth two shits. [/quote] I second this. China's invasion of Tibet was "illegal". China laying claim to an entire international body of water that is shared by numerous other nations is "illegal". China does "illegal" things all the time. Sometimes, fire needs to be fought with fire. An invasion of Taiwan would be "illegal", so why should we care one bit if aiding Taiwan would also be "illegal"? If anybody calls us out on it, we'll just need to point out numerous Chinese infringements and ask them why they hold double standards that would place us at fault and not the evil dystopia that is China.

Original Message
I predict something will happen or nothing will happen.
China on Thursday threatened to make a "legitimate and necessary" retaliation over the US sale of $1 billion worth of missiles to Taiwan as Beijing becomes increasingly strident over its claims to the self-ruled island.
The US State Department said on Wednesday it had approved the sale of 135 air-to-ground missiles to Taiwan in a move Taipei's defence ministry said would build its combat capabilities.
Democratic and self-ruled Taiwan lives under constant threat of invasion by authoritarian China, whose leaders view the island as part of their territory.
They have vowed to one day seize the island, by force if necessary.
