[quote:Agent MIB:MV80MTE2NDIyXzc0NzEwMDY2X0Q0MzFGMTZB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 77916345:MV80MTE2NDIyXzc0NzA3Mzc3XzE4REM1RkVE] I say give Taiwan even more arms to defend themselves and offer advisors to help train them on our systems. China raises a beef, well they are the bastards that said they would never militarize all the artificial islands they created in the South China Sea which now have garrisons, missile systems, ports, and landing strips. China's goal is to take Taiwan and control the entire first island chain, which gives them a unified foothold for power projection across the Pacific. [/quote] It would be China's last move. US has military assets deployed across East and Southeast Asia. Not only that, the US has the world's largest navy and can project its power globally. China has never successfully invaded Japan throughout its history. Imperial Japan walked across and occupied most of China in 1937 until the US liberated them in 1945. How did they repay the US? By attacking and killing US troops in Korea between 1950-1953. Imperial Chicom's worst fear is the Japanese rebuilding their own military. Chicom's couldn't even win a border war with Vietnam in 1979. The only country they took over was peaceful Tibet. Yeah, Chicom's could inflict heavy damage in a first strike against Chinese Nationalists on Formosa (Taiwan). The ASEAN-US alliance counter strike would decimate Chicom's navy, every port and military airfield in the region. [/quote]

China on Friday opposed U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and lodged solemn representations to the U.S. side.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying made the remarks when asked to comment on the situation that the U.S. has been advancing the sale of eight billion U.S. dollars of F-16V jet fighters to Taiwan.
Hua said the U.S. side has seriously violated the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, especially the August 17 communique, adding that it has interfered in China's internal affairs and undermined China's sovereignty and security interests.
