Thoughts?

Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn't it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

Now is the perfect time for them to do it, I can see why! America may not even respond.

Yes, I know we are an ally and we're supposed to immediately go to war. So what? We promised to defend Ukraine from Russia, too. Look what happened.

    The perfect time is in 10 years when China is so technological advanced and culturally leading that the majority wants to join voluntarily.

    As it is now, I don't think there would be any armed resistance to China without American opposition.

    China is already backing Russia though, the safer course would be to just wait it out until the dollar collapses. On the other hand, such a war may be the last straw on the camel's back for the USA.

    Japan is but a USA lapdog. They won't do anything that would displease their master.

    I don't know about that. Most of the world isn't happy with the US right now. They may have been the case 10 or 15 years ago.
