This is wrong time for US to entangle with China when they are fighting a proxy war in Ukraine. What US (Biden) thought easy access to Russia via Ukraine, instead turned out to be a total loss of power equation. Already dual crisis of energy and food in unfolding in Europe and rest of the world. This crisis is not going to go anytime sooner.

Already an ineffective, clueless, mumbling president leads the US. His (Biden) poorly thought about policy has disturbed balance in Europe. On top of that entangling with China over Taiwan is a bad move by any account. Who knows China may score a victory over US in this tussle. It will be bad for the world balance.

There were other ways to put the Chinese in its place. Their main source of power and money is cheap exports. Much of the Chinese consumer goods exports are directed towards US and Europe. If you are smart enough then deny these markets to China. Once US and Europe start cutting back on Chinese imports the message will be driven home. Chinese would understand that very clearly. This change of policy will work better than military confrontation, but who knows what the Chinese want.

If a point is to be made about military supremacy in the Indo-Pacific then concentrate a much bigger military force than a weakling of 4 war ships ordered against many more Chinese ships in the Taiwan Straits. Send four aircraft carriers and ancillary ships and reinforce Guam and other bases. Tell the Chinese that if they shoot then US will shoot back with greater force and force the Chinese away. That also Chinese would understand real good.

The timing of war in Europe and confrontation with China is bad. first, finish dealing with Russia and then deal with China.

If China has to take something, it won't settle just for the islands. Taking these islands will harden western resolve. Sanctions will follow, China's domestic situation already getting precarious. It will hit hard. Chinese economy is very much intertwined with the West unlike Russia's. A double edged sword. Cost benefit ratio is very unfavorable for China.
So if indeed China is ready for war, it will try to take whole Taiwan for a possible fait accompli, and then manage the fallout. Going for the low hanging fruits like some islands is too much effort for very little to no reward. Imo.

It's good it got banned cause it's chinese but other than that insta is the new tik tok of India. Clown show still goes on.
TikTok was much worse in my experience, plus an enemy nation should not be allowed to capture media attention from a large part of the population like TikTok did. Recipe for disaster and massive propaganda defeat.

irrespective of what happens during or immediately after this pelosi visit, the path for future escalation between CCP and U.S is set one way or the other. fact remains that a wealthy country of non-european stock publicly mobilised it's military as a show of strength against a incumbent superpower, these sort of things have consequences in medium to long term.

no peace treaty can undo this now.

Visited reddit and some other social media platforms, the whole world is laughing at China. They bought this circus upon themselves. This humiliation won’t be forgotten for a long time.
These people used to mock India on social media sites like Twitter, YouTube etc by saying things like "India is a 3rd world country"/"India is a poor country" and blah blah blah blah. Now Nancy Pelosi showing Middle finger to the Chinese will go down in history as one of the most humiliating moments in CCP's history. (HAHA
