A Chinese Attack on Taiwan Imminent? Jeff Reports

[Jeff]

Some rather new and disturbing news from Asia, apparently the Communitst Chinese government wants to take over Taiwan with millitary force in the near future.

“it reflects the strong determination of the Chinese people to ... never allow secessionist forces working for Taiwan independence to separate Taiwan from China.”

This is in a general sense saying to all who defend Taiwan' freedom to stay back and not interfere with their actions.


Many countries polled by the BBC on whether they feel that China is a negative or positive influence on the world here is the chart to demonstrate the views.


So now I will provide many links to reputable news organizations reporting the situation.

Ive acctually been waiting for this to come. This is no surprise, i knew it might happen eventually. I just hope it doesnt start a new world war.

[Jeff]

I dont believe that enough attention is being paid attention to this situation. While we are paying so much time to terrorism (which we should) future threats are growing.

I wouldnt beleive fox for shit, but as CNN etc also report it, it might hold its own Sounds strange, I doubt other countrys would let China do anything though, although i wouldnt be surprised

[Jeff]

Hey, Fox News is the 1# News Company in the US now. Surpisingly I found out that China now allows this channel to be viewed on satelite.

I doubt other countrys would let China do anything though,

It's also not like anyone could just tell the chinese government to stop, should they decide to act there.

[ShenmueAddict]

Thats communists for ya

[Strider]

damn commies...... go fascism!

[St. Elmo's Fire]

I hope they do. Taiwan have been getting way too cocky for my liking.

well yes, obviously, but they could do something, ie help/defend Taiwan, make it clear they would do this, and thus potentialy deter China from acting

[Daemos]

but they could do something, ie help/defend Taiwan,

That would be perfect to make the pit between East and West even deeper.

[Jeff]

NEWS WIRE: In recent weeks Japan that if Red China were to try to make good on its threats against Taiwan, it would join with the United States in defense of that island nation.

So what else is new, Jeff?
