Taiwan is king of chips and we're too dependant on them. Until we secure our own chip making, we are a sitting duck if China should attack. Politicians are there probably to strike a deal to get technology and lease their experts to us, to train our people lacking the skill to create such high tevh new gen chips. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 82248381 Malaysia 08/14/2022 10:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to english.news.cn (secure)] BEIJING, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- A newly published white paper systematically illustrates the position and policies of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese government to advance national reunification in the new era, clearly portraying the bright prospects after the peaceful reunification is achieved under "one country, two systems." The white paper, titled "The Taiwan Question and China's Reunification in the New Era," released on Wednesday, has injected confidence and strength into the joint efforts of the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation for national reunification and rejuvenation. Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing China's complete reunification is a shared aspiration of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. It is indispensable to the realization of China's rejuvenation and a historic mission of the CPC. At the same time Chinese CCP is pushing reunification. Either these congressional officials are there to provoke war or they are there to broke a surrender of Taiwan. Either way, it's We, the People, of the Republic of the United States of America are the folks who will get screwed. |

I'm dying to know which. How about option 4? The US believes that since China didn't do anything except rattle their sabers previously, that it's highly likely that they won't do anything too provocative, because they know Biden cucked them, as seen in the continued sanctions against Chinese interests, and Xi bending over backwards trying to appease Biden. US Senators are in Taiwan feeling very much at ease, because the US has 12 aircraft carriers at their disposal, and what does China have? Is it one or two? The US reigns supreme and does what it wants. If China did do something about all these various US lawmakers discussing Taiwan's continued security, while upholding the belief that they have the right to defend themselves, it might cancel the future meeting with China to discuss continued very important trade relations between China and the US. “Queen Sarah, save us from the Black Dog King!” - from the play, Dissocia [link to tasaonline.org.au (secure)] "Never be anyone's French poodle." - Mr Hamilton |

[link to www.taipeitimes.com (secure)] New laser weapons are a cheaper alternative By Steven Wu The Executive Yuan on Nov. 25 approved a special defense budget to acquire mostly indigenous weapons, such as missiles, to rapidly build up Taiwan’s combat capabilities. Together with a US military arms procurement budget proposed earlier this year, the nation is to invest nearly NT$334 billion (US$12 billion) by 2030 to deploy a “porcupine strategy” of asymmetric warfare, which includes strengthening the military’s countermeasures on land and sea by introducing US-made arms and developing indigenous naval vessels. |

User ID: 78954471 United States 08/14/2022 11:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyway, I asked the question, if China would build at least one new bridge between the mainland and the island, following reunification. After reunification, there are indications that China may build at least 6 new bridges connecting the island of Taiwan to the mainland, to help advance trade, eliminating the need for an international airport. At least one will be floating, and a semi-buried tunnel may take the place of a bridge. At least one of these bridges would include high-speed rail transport. With the possibility of such an undertaking, those helping to invest in the project would fare very well financially. Meanwhile the US prefers status quo to remain the same, with the expected financial rewards of the US lawmakers to either remain the same or for them to receive more in compensation for their hard work to defend this assumed US territory. Arms manufacturers would reap great rewards with regular shipments of their latest technologies to help defend Taiwan from the mainland. After a planned regime change, the leadership of China would be decided by Washington in such a way as to benefit them exclusively. As I see it, China may view Taiwan as competition to their existing manufacturing base, and only has an ancestral interest in the Chinese people living there. The Us has capitalized on the relatively cheap costs of production there, as well as the Chinese work ethic of the existing population, promising them absolute security and safety against the continued threats of Chinese aggression. “Queen Sarah, save us from the Black Dog King!” - from the play, Dissocia [link to tasaonline.org.au (secure)] "Never be anyone's French poodle." - Mr Hamilton |

I think they are testing the waters for the next major person; Chuck Schumer (I know Pelosi out ranks him) but that is symbolic though if both major players of Congress go there (I am not including Harris here yet I know she leads Senate, but I am having her as VP for my statement) I think what the Dems are doing with this playbook is slowly build to see if China does anything. After this meeting, Schumer, after him then Harris, and then finally Biden, unless China does something before then. Poking the Xi. I came. I saw. I Concorde.
