Taiwan and China’s Downfall

When China fires missiles close to Taiwan after Pelosi’s visit, it speaks to the ridiculousness of China’s position. Having to enforce means that it was never yours, to begin with, and will never be yours. It is like dating. If you force yourself upon someone, you lose the chance of ever attracting them, or more likely; she was never yours, to begin with.

America has made similar mistakes or encroachments. There’s Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and so on.

If China moves to take Taiwan or moves to start WWIII, then I will say they were too stupid to stop anyway, and we will experience the consequences. Like Ukraine, many people will die, but China will have lost everything. You cannot recover from something inherently wrong. It acts as cancer and eventually destroys. How you treat people is a future indication.

China’s only move is to embrace and support Taiwan’s autonomy. Holding people against their will is much too complicated; it is impossible.
