I recognize the Chinese perspective, but the reality is different from Chinas desire
Go look up the 1970’s US and China Joint Communique, and see whose actually based in reality. The US, on paper, pretends to agree to China’s One China policy but it acts belligerently by supporting seperatism in Taiwan.
they only need to outlast a China that’s in decline.
okay gordon chang
United States has many obligations in the region that are threatened by Chinese buildup that they must respond to if they want to keep their alliances in the region.
Like in Japan? South Korea? with Taiwanese seperatists? In the phillipines? In other words, all places that have US backed regimes? How convenient.
Yes, this is the reality of politics, lines on maps aren’t realities on the ground. That goes both ways
I haven’t read Gordon chang, but I think the demographics situation of China will reduce growth and see a decline in China. I don’t think that’s a controversial thing to say in a geopolitical context, what about it do you disagree with?
Yes, in all of the places that the United States has allies. That is an inherent backing but I think the people there are the main thing keeping the current political groups in power in those countries. If China, for instance, believed they wouldn’t need to violently overthrow the current rulers of Taiwan and the people backing them they could just go there and assume control bloodlessly. I think they don’t because they fear the Taiwanese people acting to stop them to maintain the current political reality of the island. It’s not Americans that woild act to stop landings, it’s Taiwanese people.
