Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It's scary, like I get being cautious. I absolutely appreciate their resolve and patience in general; but when it comes to foreign policy 😬

The u.s will keep building bases near them and will keep doing military exercises with S.K and Japan. They see this, but aren't making use of economic deals and diplomacy with either of those countries to try to mitigate u.s influence.

They'll end up in a similar position to Russia. They will absolutely end up like Russia no doubt. The worst part is: I don't think they're as savvy militarily, so taking back Taiwan will definitely take several years at best.

I think they have a good head start to oppose American military interests in the region just by having developed domestic hypersonic missiles, but the other essential component is missiles defense which I’m not sure how advanced Chinas is. China has a lot to learn about modern war however so I’m sure they’re keeping a very close eye on Ukraine and applying it to their area.
