Nonsense. Sorry to be so harsh. China could, today, take over Taiwan. No doubt about that. The US could certainly make that difficult or impossible depending on the situation, though I think US involvement is the big unknown here. > Chinese premiers have stated... US senators and congresspeople have stated all sorts of crazy things too, but it doesn’t mean much. If China were to sacrifice over 500 million people to take over Taiwan, there isn’t anything stopping them from doing so today besides that statement being untrue. China has a lot of Communist Rhetoric in the general speech patterns of the government, but if you stop and think for a second the Chinese, like everybody else, are just people. They drift cars and buy iPhones and go to the grocery store. The willingness to kill 500 million to invade Taiwan is probably not there.

I provided a page of quotes from Mao confirming it in a related thread. > if you stop and think for a second the Chinese, like everybody else, are just people. The CCP is a totalitarian govenment, similar to Hitler or Stalin. They are currently committing genocide against multiple religions and ethnic groups.
