Why We Need Taiwan
Don't listen to the pundits. The United States cannot afford to abandon Taiwan.

A spate of articles, op-eds and comment pieces have appeared in the U.S. press and academic journals in recent months arguing that Taiwan is not important to America and/or isn’t worth fighting China over, that the United States cannot afford to spend more on its military (which it has to in order to protect Taiwan), and that Taiwan should be abandoned.

Some, a lot fewer, have come to Taiwan’s defense and argue otherwise.

There are numerous arguments to be made that Taiwan is an ally that should be kept. It is a democracy. It is sovereign. It is faithful to the United States, etc.

The critical case to be made, however, is—or at least should be—that Taiwan is strategically important to the United States.

I believe there are two good arguments to be made for Taiwan’s strategic importance: One comes from looking at the history of the United States. The other from geopolitics.

In December 1890, the United States Army won a battle against American Indians at Wounded Knee in South Dakota. This battle marked the end of the Indian Wars and meant that the United States could focus on external matters since it had finally consolidated its territory in the west.

Within ten years of Wounded Knee, the United States was on the way to becoming a world power. In 1898, the U.S. Navy won the Spanish American War. It acquired the Philippines and Guam as a result. The same year, the U.S. incorporated Hawaii and signed a tripartite agreement on Samoa.

In 1900, America made Wake Island its territory. Shortly after the United States started building the Panama Canal.

The expansion of the U.S. Navy was vital to all of this happening. And it continued. By the end of WWI, the U.S. Navy was the world’s largest. It built aircraft carriers that were the game-changing weapon in the Pacific during World War II, and in 1945, the U.S. had a fleet of 1,600 ships; no other nation was close to competing with America.

China’s reunification of Taiwan will be its Wounded Knee. It will no longer need to focus on territorial matters and will doubtless look to realize power ambitions further from its shores.

Its navy has already, for twenty years, been the benefactor of large budget increases (bigger than the air force or army), indicating China’s naval power (enhanced by the recent addition of an aircraft carrier) is ready to break out.

This relates to the second argument, the geopolitical one.

Looking at its geography, China is “contained” by a proximate chain of islands extending southward from Japan, through the Ryukyu’s, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia.

To get into the Pacific Ocean, China’s naval vessels must go through one of various choke points between these islands. Its merchant marine (as well as its navy), in order to sail to the Middle East and Africa where China acquires most of its energy and natural resources, must go south through the Strait of Malacca, which is equally constraining.

China will invade Taiwan if Trump win the elections and war will start with USA. If Biden wins, they will invade and USA will do nothing.

With all the old people in our country it's basically just like an NFL game. What damns them is their intentions to grab a bucket of popcorn and just watch. One of the threads of the status quo.

Nothing will happen. Maybe China will bitch about in on Twitter at most.

USA still hasn't recognized Taiwanese independence, would be illegal to side with them

China will invade Taiwan if Sleepy Joe drops out of the race. But this is preventable within the CCP. They just need to arrest Pooh Bear or force him to resign. The anti-pooh forces are building up quick because they are now in financial ruins after managing to get HK destroyed and breaking ties with US.

Fuck a bunch of Chicoms.

US needs to build a huge military base on Taiwan.

Then deploy land based Nukes.

It is Taiwan prerogative to what it wants.

A mutual defense pact US + Taiwan benefits both countries.

It gives Taiwan full protection from United States.

And gives United States an important geo-strategic asset to deploy tens of thousands of Troops to combat Chinese aggression, and promote peace and stability in the region.

Lol I love it when people use the word "illegal" in regards to war. As if it matters worth two shits.

Oh know!

We so afraid of the Chinese slaves!

Make me at egg roll bitch...

China intentionally spread COVID-19 throughout the world - a clear biological attack. China is clashing with nearly all of its neighbors, and threatening to expand in all directions. Chinese shills infest every forum and aggressively push leftism and an anti-white agenda.



The time has come to stop giving a shit what China wants. In fact, if China wants something, it's usually best to do the exact opposite.

Death to China! Arm Taiwan with nuclear weapons now!

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.

China has become Pelosi and Schumer...no one cares what they say anymore.

The USA will do nothing either way other than sales.


The United States and Taiwan enjoy a robust unofficial relationship.

In the Joint Communique, the United States recognized the Government of the Peoples Republic of China as the sole legal government of China, acknowledging the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China.

The United States does not support Taiwan independence.

Okay you gooooks in the grass
..

China is asshoe!

I don't know about Bloomberg's spin but there are some tidbits to glean from this story.

I honestly don't think the sales are a game changer for the outcome of a war but it certainly keeps it from being a gimme on Chinas part.

American intervention would change the course of any war.

I read a few months back - sorry don't remember where - that Taiwan has missiles pointed at the 3 gorges dam. All it would take is 2-3 of them to wipe out a whole lot of China.
