  1. That is the same thing Ukraine said. 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️

  2.  @ryanflanagan8793  Do you always go around stating the obvious? 🤷‍♂️ It means you can never be complacent walking around blindly and rule out the possibility of war.

  3.  @socrates5647  That is probably wrong. You cannot tell anything about anything by asking 10 people on the street.

  4. Taiwan is the ninth largest trading partner of the United States at $106 billion dollars a year. No one is going to "seal off" Taiwan. 😎🇺🇸 ✝️

  5. The U.S. Navy does not want any war and your comment is irresponsible.

  6.  @chicagosveryown7776  Yes they did say that and the war in Ukraine is currently stalemated with Russia holding a lot of Ukraine territory. That is NOT winning. -- YOU are the egg. 🍳

  7.  @reality5953  Taiwan was not "bullying the mainland. Let me clarify: The original government of China fled to Taiwan from the communists and they used the island as a base to fight the communists and win their country back (which so far they failed). Fighting to get your country back from an enemy takeover is not defined as "bullying."

  11.  @michaelhuang7842  It is not the business of the Chinese people of the mainland to allow or disallow anything regarding Taiwan. That is the business of Taiwan. Do I tell people in Seattle what to do?

  12.  @michaelhuang7842  You should learn more about communism. Taiwan will agree to unite with China. But Taiwan will never unite under a communist government. You should learn why they would object to uniting with communists. Communism is really the big stumbling block here.

  14.  @michaelhuang7842  You know the odd thing is: Democracy is not a western idea. It was formulated by the Greeks in the fifth century bc. Greece is in Asia Minor. But communism is a western idea. It originated in Germany. Both Marx and Engels are Germans.

  17. China is not in a hurry. The goal is to own Taiwan by their communist takeover centennial celebration in 2049. They will not move until they have built their military up enough that they feel confident to hold off the United States.

  22.  @sopurusurplus7951  Your comment is unclear. What was what about Ukraine? By the way . . About 90% of Ukraine would be considered "West." How does someone "get involved" with themselves?

  23.  @cherryyi1923  Let us be clear: The Republic of China is the true original and legitimate government of all China and there are no "separatists." All Taiwanese claim to be China. However: Taiwan has its own DEMOCRATIC form of government. And if ANYONE tries to take that form of government away from Taiwan, the United States will LEVEL THE AGGRESSOR COUNTRY TO THE GROUND. Are we clear now? 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️

  24.  @raloed.363  What you are saying is you would rather be someone's slave than fight them for your freedom. Some people feel that way. I will pray that you become a slave! 😔🙏

  25.  @nashdapistolshrimp8641  Very likely, Taiwan may "fold" in no time. But China will be fighting the entire western world who will not fold.

  28.  @omarionbayley9721  Ukraine is a U.S. ally. In fact, the United States assisted them in setting up a democratic government in 2014. There was a coup and a government takeover in Ukraine that year and a VERY corrupt politician was removed. And that 2014 coup was about the Ukraine president rejecting a trade deal with Europe and signing one with Russia. In fact, any country with a democratic form of government can be considered a U.S. ally. It is us against the totalitarians. 🤷‍♂️

  33.  @hangten1904  The CCP has released an official statement saying the if Taiwan does not come along peacefully, they will be taken by force. That is not mainland China speaking -- it is the communists.

  34.  @jakwllwlwlw  No they are not. Study your Chinese history. The Hans all started in one province and gradually took over the surrounding provinces and united China. The Hans are the Borg: "You will be assimilated."

  35.  @reality5953  It is not China wanting to take Taiwan back -- it is the COMMUNISTS wanting to complete their communist revolution by taking the part of China that they failed to conquer in 1949. Communists are bullies.

  36.  @michaelhuang7842  All of the Chinese living in the mainland have been brainwashed by the communists. They are not thinking clearly. When you say China, are you saying China? or are you saying Chinese Communist Party? You should think about that and what is the difference between China and the Communist Party. China is not threatening Taiwan. The communists are threatening Taiwan.

  38.  @michaelhuang7842  Yes. I need to add that the Republic of China is the rightful government of all China. The mainland Chinese should reunite with Taiwan and be under the government of the Republic of China.

  41.  jake broesky  The communists are not going to beat Taiwan. They would have to defeat the entire West to beat Taiwan. What they are going to do is start World War III over Taiwan.

  42.  @DSan-kl2yc  There are no separatists from China. The Republic of China in Taiwan is the government of China. They understand that there is one China and they are Chinese. They are only "separate" from the Communist Party. The communists (as usual) are twisting words, truth, and reality to make their wishes and desires sound right.

  44.  @jpan64  You might want the study your Chinese history. The Republic of China in Taiwan IS your government. lol The CCP is not in a position to "hand out" anything -- they have NEVER had control of Taiwan. There is an ongoing civil war in China that has been going on for 100 years now. The communist rebels in the mainland are fighting the original nationalist government of China for control of all China. And you will not have a say in any of it -- it will ultimately be decided by who has the biggest gun. You want to have a say about Taiwan? Do the people living in Taiwan have a say about anything in your life? By the way . . . Taiwan was a Japanese territory from 1898 until 1945. So I guess the Japanese citizens have a say in the future of Taiwan?

  45.  @michaelhuang7842  You believe that because you have been brainwashed by the communists. Life is easy when your government is going the right way and you agree with the government policies. Someday when your government does something that you seriously object to and there is no way you can complain to them about it or stop it, you will understand. All of Europe used to have "centralized" governments. But they had to be overthrown by the citizens when they got out of control. We had to learn that lesson the hard way so that you do not have to. No one is asking you to be "western."

  47.  @alrizo1115  No. The Americans invented semiconductors and the ones being made in Taiwan are being made on machines that are produced by the West. We can make semiconductors anywhere. What we cannot replace is the $106 billion dollars of international trade with Taiwan (not including Taiwan's trade with other countries). But that is not the point either. The point is: We are not going to let a communist country take over a democratic country -- that is out. 😎👎🇺🇸 ✝️ Also, Taiwan ceased to be a "Chinese territory" in 1898 when China ceded it to Japan. So whether it is a "Chinese territory" is open for debate.

  48.  @michaelhuang7842  Taiwan is not going to do that because the "central government" is communist. They have been fighting the communists for 100 years, starting in 1927. They have lost one-and-a-half MILLION soldiers fighting communism. They are not going to suddenly accept communism or any part of it. And I will add: The "central government" over a period of years would take away their "separate" political system and replace it with one of their own and we all know they will do that.

  50.  @michaelhuang7842  We "set Taiwan against China"?? You are talking like Putin. WE DID NOT CAUSE THIS! Taiwan is not against China -- they are against communists. I keep telling you it is all about democracy (freedom) versus communism (enslavement). The Taiwanese are not going to allow themselves to be enslaved and brainwashed by the communists. We did not cause them to value their freedom. Anyone with a brain will figure out for themselves that freedom is better than enslavement.
