The Chinese are frustrated. They want to take over Taiwan ASAP, but we are standing in their way ready to defend the democratic nation. In fact, we said as much last Tuesday. U.S. NSA Jake Sullivan said we are going to make sure China “never” take Taiwan over by force. Chinese state media got more than riled by this and claimed they will be attacking U.S. troops when the time comes.
“US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday, “from the point of view of both deterrence and diplomacy,” the US is going to take every action it can to make sure that the reunification of the Chinese mainland with the island of Taiwan by force “never happens.” He made these remarks when responding to a question whether the US is prepared to deal with the situation in the Taiwan Straits and in Ukraine. Sullivan also mentioned that the US’ “efforts” during the past eight months in the Indo-Pacific region were to avoid “any kind of scenario where China chooses to invade.”
“So far, the official attitude of Washington is to encourage the Taiwan authority to build up self-defense capabilities. The US mainly provides military support to Taiwan by selling weapons. Those weapons are generally destined to be destroyed by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) as soon as the reunification by force takes place. It is credible that the PLA will heavily attack US troops who come to Taiwan’s rescue. Such credibility is increasingly overwhelming the deterrence that US troops may have.”
According to our own intelligence, it is only a matter of time until China attempts to take the island over. Some reports claim it may be as soon as 2024. But we have been getting Taiwan ready for this, fortifying their defenses and at least two countries are going to be joining us in defending the island nation. So this is not going to be an easy fight for China, and whereas they may heavily attack us, we are going to mess them up.
