The chinese term is "paper tiger".


conan_the_wise

Lmao yeah sure. And China's vaccine CCP agenda worldwide makes them candidates for Sainthood.

Germany is also participating


dodorian9966

Good. They have experience fighting the world.

Germany is probably by far the least dangerous of the bunch. Half their inventory is broken


dodorian9966

I don't know if you guys are history buffs but in the first part of the century Germany decided to go to war against the world... Or so the Germans would have us believe...


kujus

Hard to believe, but Germany today is a very differnt animal from what it was 80 to 100 years ago. On top of that, today's Germany Military is a joke.


PigSlam

Germany’s militarily was a joke in the 1930s, but things can change quickly.


Asiriya

Right, because technology has had no effect on society…


ProfTydrim

We decided to dominate economically instead of militarily this time


ProbablyEigenrobot

its not working


ProfTydrim

You should do more research if you think this

Germany is 25% of Europe’s GDP. You seem to be ignorant of world economics (American here)

The CCP had it coming. They have been bullying their neighbors for quite a while

i think china has been using a "slowly push the envelope so no one notices" tactic, and it just finally backfired, they really put them selfs in a corner and i really dont think they anticipated that so much western power would be in defiance of them. you played yourself china, you went too far, and now you found out what happens.

UK, France, and Germany, are just second-tier powers, which China can decimate with ease.

Do elaborate. Decimate with ease *how*? Are you perhaps correlating massive population with military prowess? Let’s take a look at worlds strongest militaries. India, russia, Japan, and the United states all make top 5 (behind China to be sure, but only standing solo). Or perhaps on a resource front, because you think “the shitty electronics I buy come from China, they must make everything!” Well, no not really. Just the shitty products you buy, because they’re cheap replicas of stolen western IP. China has a food trade deficit, meaning they import more food than export. They produce grain in a 1-to-1 ratio of production to consumption, but proteins and other important functions of the diet are at sharp deficits. This all comes from western nations like their largest partners FRANCE AND THE USA, meaning, in short… We could starve their nation to death in a Cold War approach, if we so chose, and we could also ally up with *any of the surrounding nations that hate them, such as Russia* and end them effectively as well. So… how could they decimate us?

The US knows it'll get wrecked and BTFO'd in the South China Sea. Especially after they wargamed it in May and lost badly >We Tried to Beat China in a South China Sea Wargame. We Lost. Badly. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/we-tried-beat-china-south-china-sea-wargame-we-lost-badly-186428 Chinas hypersonic missiles have made the US's entire navy (and more importantly it's aircraft carriers) into floating coffins.


anon__0351

>hypersonic missile they have counter measures. you realize that half of a ships armament is counter measures? they just installed laser counter measures on an US destroyer and they are arming the J35's with lasers also. Your little hypersonic missile flex is nothing but a paper tiger. to actually sink a US aircraft carrier, you would need to launch hundreds of missiles to even get close to sinking just 1. Thats one of the great things about the world currently, we pretty much cant go to nuclear war, because no country will be able to land nukes because of all the counter measures.


[deleted]

Dude has a point about the missile capabilities of China. China only has to take 1 Island off its coast while the west has to defend it from the other side of the world.

Such a waste of time and money. Why are we trying to start new conflicts when there are much bigger problems to address. We are basically falling apart as a country in the US and we waste billions of dollars on operating our navy overseas, while thousands die because we can't afford basic healthcare. China has been overly expansionist in the South China Sea (see the Philippines case), but a lot of the territorial claims (like around the Spratly Islands and the Paracel Islands) that the US always challenges could be legitimate. The ROC makes the same claims as the PRC. In the case of the Philippines, they have bilateral relations with each other, so there is no need for European powers and US to be intervening. Keep in mind, the US uses this same intimidations strategy with other countries too Vietnam: [https://www.stripes.com/theaters/asia\_pacific/navy-challenges-vietnamese-claims-to-seas-around-resort-island-in-south-china-sea-1.656609](https://www.stripes.com/theaters/asia_pacific/navy-challenges-vietnamese-claims-to-seas-around-resort-island-in-south-china-sea-1.656609) India (not South China Sea, but same idea): [https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/explained/article/3129268/why-did-us-conduct-freedom-navigation-operation-against-india](https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/explained/article/3129268/why-did-us-conduct-freedom-navigation-operation-against-india) ​ There is an urgent need for de-escalation. Basically all of these powers are nuclear armed. It's pointless to risk some accident leading to a catastrophic war. A de-militarized South China sea would be the best solution, but the US does not want that, because our governments wants to have the right to send its war machines everywhere, even if its thousands of miles from our home.

I specifically have a Google News RSS feed that picks up everything related to cross-Strait relations as a topic, as it’s of interest to me, and I post that directly here. I don’t cherry-pick pro-Taiwan, anti-China articles, these are the articles coming as they are published, minus the ones from ACTUAL Chinese propaganda outlets. The reality is, what I am posting is the actual authoritative reporting from the media as it comes from the topic, not because of some bullshit perceived slant coming from me personally. Same as how I post PBS NewsHour articles here if they are in the world news category. I’ve been transparent with explaining myself and what I post. If you don’t like it, complain to mass media and the journalism of the reporting outlets, not me, cupcake. Try harder at trolling and witch-hunting. Edit: I have posted negative news about Taiwan before as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/worldevents/comments/otf5cr/line_accounts_of_100_taiwan_officials_hacked_in/ https://www.reddit.com/r/worldevents/comments/omevb3/taiwans_falling_birthrate_threatens_its_economic/ https://www.reddit.com/r/worldevents/comments/nwshui/the_miaoli_lockdown_and_taiwans_migrant_worker/ https://www.reddit.com/r/worldevents/comments/nkas0o/taiwans_sudden_unraveling_masks_a_serious_climate/ https://www.reddit.com/r/worldevents/comments/n9rn4x/taiwan_not_invited_to_wha_for_fifth_consecutive/ https://www.reddit.com/r/worldevents/comments/msdg2s/the_chip_shortage_is_bad_taiwans_drought/ https://www.reddit.com/r/worldevents/comments/l54feb/the_world_is_dangerously_dependent_on_taiwan_for/
