When does Xi Jinping plan to take Taiwan?

"The most dangerous time” for Taiwan is now, says Chairman Mike Gallagher (R) of House Select Committee during a conversation on the Strategic Competition Between the U.S. and China.


The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an independent, nonpartisan membership organization, think tank, and publisher.

China is very clear on this point. Taiwan will be taken. China is not going to negotiate with you on this. It's all about how and by what means.
When in your brain you still has the idea of "deter China not to do so" means you are gravely wrong already. No lost is going to stop China, you should ask yourself what lost will stop you.

Worried about Taiwan, Ukraine, EU but not the US borders or the cities like Philly, san Francisco, and many dilapidated cities and the struggles of the American people. Great priority...

[rogeliop.hernandez]

Taiwan will opt to be with the mainland and the US will not need Taiwan in 2027 since US and China no longer need Taiwanese chips.

When the West is getting nearer to your territory as a leader you must act upon it😊...so who is the one that is spreading fear?

I trust Gallagher’s judgement. I can’t say that about too many members of Congress.

What does President Trump have to say about this ?

It’s a red line for China. Just like Ukraine was a red line for Russia.

Fact is, the art of war says the best tactic is to make yourself invincible then wait for the enemy to be vulnerable. Chinas military spending hasn’t changed more that the regular 2% of gdp, the highest it’s been is 1.9% in 2020. Now it’s 1.6%. They’re spending less percentage of their gdp on their military than previous years. It’s growing because even if it’s capped at 1%, if the countries economy grows, think 1% of 100 dollar economy yesterday (1 dollar) this economy today becomes 200 dollars. 1% of 200 is 2 dollars. Scale this up for the Chinese economy and the picture gets clearer. They’ve worked on themselves for the most part and will continue to do so to make themselves invincible. XJP keeps changing the year, the furthest is 2049. Every few years he’ll be asking the Chinese military to be able to do whatever in five years, 1 year passes, he’d still say in 5 years do something but this time he increases the goal. It’s motivation. The plan for unification is going to be by Marxist sensibilities - unite the economic conditions, this then unites the social conditions, then both unites the political conditions. The US is not making itself create a strong economic bond with Taiwan like China has done, not even the social bonds; people travel between China and Taiwan all the time. The only economic bond is to sell weapons, and that’s not a bond, that’s a transaction, and the US gets paid so long as Taiwan has the money. The more the Taiwanese government uses their money for this stuff, the more the economy of China connected with Taiwan picks up the slack of keeping the place afloat. There’s no real commitment here and the hot air is to distract from internal issues of any country that’s making it
