what are the chances muricans already negotiated a choreographed posturing with CCP, just so that there are no unexpected surprises?

it's just been three weeks ago that blinken and wang yi met at G20.

Can you open a new thread, don't want this thread to be cluttered with off-topic discussion.

Highly unlikely because Xi simply cannot afford any negotiations on this topic. He is already facing economic issues covid lockdowns and now this?

What does he get by cooperating with the US. If she does land in Taiwan and meets their PM Xi can kiss his third term goodbye.

Zelensky must be doing the Ukrainian equivalent of Havans and Maha Mrityunjay jaaps in a bid to avoid this impending conflict.

He has the most to lose, even the tiniest of US China skirmish will ensure media completely ignores Ukraine - Russia along with diversion of almost all of the western resources

Unverified, consume it with salt.


@mokoman it is your time to shine, Weibo boy ! Tell us what is happening on Chinese media ?
nothing much , usual stuff - 99% wants war with taiwan , 1% thinks nothing will happen except for randi rona from chinese gov .

last press release from China gov says if Pelosi visits Taiwan there will be serious consequences . doesnt say it will be military one .

So what may happen?

(If)Pelosi will land on mainland Taiwan tomorrow... Neither she nor the mainland will get attacked

But many of the Taiwanese islands which lie nearer to China than to Taiwan may be captured by PLA in overwhelming assaults... nobody can deny this... very high probability.

all these islands are inhabited . if China takes them over , good chance Taiwan will declare independence - then only option for China is full war .

Chinese will most likely just fire a empty dong ballistic missile into empty sea .

😎 we fired a nuclear capable cruise missile into populated area in Pakistan

i mean sure we did it by accident and kept quiet thinking they wouldnt notice - but how many countries have done it.

Such a useless take honestly.

They fire missiles time to time so nothing new in that.

Taiwan ADZ even extends into the mainland due to the islands nearby plus china regularly breaches them in large and small numbers alike. So once again nothing new.

Military excercise. At this point baba banaras give better takes than this shit.

Further spurious legal claims. What an excellent idea. US just bitchslapped us and landed in Taiwan. Let me forget that and tell Indonesia how the 9 dash line extends further south all the way into the Indian Ocean. Truly marvelous.

How people even end up cooking such dumb takes is beyond me.
