Chinese coast guard personnel briefly boarded a Taiwanese tourist boat near Taiwan-controlled islands next to China’s coast on Monday, the government in Taipei said, in an escalation of tensions after China said it would carry out regular patrols.
China announced on Sunday that its coast guard would strengthen law enforcement activity around the Kinmen islands following the death of two Chinese nationals fleeing Taiwan’s coast guard having entered into prohibited waters too close to Kinmen, which lies opposite the Chinese cities of Xiamen and Quanzhou.
Can taiwan just start shooting already please draw a line and make the cost for crossing it death. It seems to be the only language the CCP understands.
I’m sure the CCP can’t wait for someone to take the bait and shoot, so they can use the “having a right to defend itself” card.
Your argument is literally let the bullies win otherwise they might fight back when u defend yourself.
No. My argument is “please don’t let the bullies win”. If china wants to invade, let them shoot first, so that there’s no doubt who’s the invader and who’s the victim, instead of fueling small skirmishes in which it would be increasingly harder to point out who’s guilty of what.
Keep the conflict simple, so that it’s easier for other nations to justify sending help when shit inevitably hits the fan.
Uhm, no because only the mentally ill wants to die, and most people don’t want to kill anyone else
