Agree, Hong Kong fate was sealed in 1990's. But Taiwan will spark a war, and for good reason. Bullets and bombs cannot be ignored and China is not popular in that area. So they'll leave Taiwan alone, IMO, for decades, until /when /if China is sure that they can overpower US military.
- foepys 6y agoNobody, will ever overpower the US military. Not because the US is particularly advanced but because of their nukes. The same applies to the Chinese and Russian militaries and most likely all other nations with nuclear weapons.
- onetimemanytime 6y agowrong. USA will not use nukes to help Taiwan. The other side has nukes too and can easily point them to major US cities.
