I see you don't understand the implications of national debt.

China is already the main trading partner for most countries in the world, and a bigger economy than US in terms of PPP. The only one who seems to be inhabiting the dream realm here is you.

So, Americans can expect more austerity policies, and higher interest rates.

Imagine thinking that China is not in a position to make demands. 😂

Thing is that as US will be issuing more bonds there's going to be little market for them. Back when 2008 crash happened, the only reason US pulled through was cause China stepped in to buy enough bonds to stabilize US market. Fat chance of that happening this time around.

Meanwhile, demand for dollar globally is dropping meaning that dollar based economy is starting to shrink. And major US allies are starting to have significant economic problems of their own, which means they're not able to bail US out.

Literally the argument you could make about CHAZ while it was around. Does that mean CHAZ was a legitimate autonomous region in any meaningful sense?

And I've explained several times why I think China should start doing all the things US is doing in Taiwan in Hawaii. Of course, you're correct that making parallels between the two is at best superficial. Taiwan is rogue province of China, while Hawaii is an independent country US occupied by force.

Meanwhile, I don't know what argument you claim I'm trying to deflect given that I've repeatedly addressed yours directly.

And when that day happens, the PRC will finally own Taiwan. Until then, it’s just hand waving and words. Feel free to send me a “I told you so” message when it happens.

If you genuinely believe that then really don't know what else to tell you. It's pretty obvious that China is allowing Taiwan to play these games, but the reality is there is no substance behind them. Claiming Taiwan is independent is like claiming that CHAZ was independent before cops cleared it out.

It's not just that the UN that hasn't let Taiwan join, it's that the UN along with vast majorities of the countries recognize PRC as the legitimate government, and have embassies on mainland China. Even US does not have an embassy in Taiwan.

Meanwhile, I really don't see how you can draw parallels between Taiwan and Ukraine to be honest. I have to assume you don't know any history of Ukraine based on your statement. During USSR days Ukraine was part of the same country as Russia and people living in eastern Ukraine are largely ethnically Russian. That's why the civil war started after the coup in 2014.

This bit in particular sums up why US is in a panic right now

“Finding buyers for US debt is the top mission of Yellen. From a medium-and-long-term perspective, China is disposing of US debt,” it says. “Who else will buy it? Japan is the biggest creditor of the US but cannot buy more. The United Kingdom is facing an economic recession and sold $30 billion of US debt in April.”

I’m still very curious how you’re going to justify why those people should’ve just obeyed the regime after watching that

End of story.

I love how I've explained three separate times how this is relevant to the topic, and you just ignored that. It's like when you talk to a telemarketer with a script they have to follow. 😂

Again, your argument is nonsensical and I explained in detail why it's nonsensical. China will either let people of Taiwan kick US out the way people did in Hong Kong, or they will take action to kick US out. Either way, the end result will be that US is going to lose its unsinkable carrier.

Again, not the stance of the UN or pretty much any other country in the world. You do you though.
