Is China going to make a move on Taiwan?

"Hong Kong/Taipei CNN —

Taiwan has condemned the latest round of Chinese military drills around the self-governing island as an “unreasonable provocation” after Beijing deployed warships and fighter jets in what it described as a “stern warning” to “separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces.”

The Chinese military’s Eastern Theater Command said Monday that the drills, involving joint operations of the army, navy, air force and rocket force, are being conducted in the Taiwan Strait – a narrow body of water separating the island from mainland China – as well as encircling Taiwan. "

You think China will make a move on Taiwan seeing how we are getting sucked into a middle east war and our support in Ukraine?

dogg the usa has a permanent base there! plus we stop ties with china if they move. we probably all die anyway at that point of attack...

I don't see China invading Taiwan they are just showing strength to remind Taiwan what can happen.

[AlexO]

We will back Taiwan so they have nothing to worry about

[jag]

Oh no not another war please,let them sit down at the UN come to an understanding where no one ends up dying.

It's not going to end well for China if they make invade Taiwan.

You realize they have the largest navy in the world and are withing minutes of Taiwan, they can track and if they want hit any approaching vessel. How about we try diplomacy and negotiation not a nuclear war.

It's all about the semi conductors that Taiwan makes, if China takes control of that the rest of the world is fucked.
