That's the Chinese way. Even on a discussion forum the CCP members must do their best to quell all discussion. Let there be Zero Discussion.

Let there be no question! Chinese shill bots are real, and they're all over the internet! [/quote]
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.
