Its an unfinished war, and at best 80% of people believe all propaganda, anywhere in the world.

Strategically, its a test. If China can dominate Taiwan, they can break up the entire western order. Sea power always trumps land power for one reason - it costs less to move over water. Western power is entirely built on sea power. It's a tradition from the British Empire.

But China is the king of logistics. They produce things at a fraction of what we produce them because of their excellent infrastructure. Now they are cranking out aircraft carriers at a fraction of the cost that we pay to build and maintain them, at at a rate that we can't match.

When Taiwan falls, the west will give China anything it wants, because if they don't, then China can just take everything. And tbh, I doubt our leaders are competent enough to see how economics and strategy are the same thing. They'll let Taiwan slip and think its okay because F it, nobody is gonna vote them out over Taiwan. And then they'll fill their rice bowls in Beijing instead of DC, because they're fucktards.
