China says that war will come, and I believe China. We should be mighty grateful for the advanced warning of our doom. Consider:
“It’s an island. It’s a democracy. It’s a nation of about 25 million people. A retired military commander says it “won’t last two weeks” in a fight against China.
Lieutenant General Yeh Jen-wen, a veteran of 32 years in Taiwan’s navy, has told his increasingly nervous nation that it was “playing with fire” by upgrading its military. And if relations with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) deteriorated to the point of war, the island would be overwhelmed within “only two weeks”.
In the past few weeks Washington approved the sale of $600 million worth of drones and $2.37 billion of Harpoon missiles. They’re the latest in a series of arms deals signed with Washington since 2017.
One of them, in particular, has upset Beijing.
The four large armed reconnaissance Q-9 SeaGuardian aircraft gives Taiwan the ability to conduct long duration, armed patrols. But the sea-skimming Harpoon missile has a range of about 250km. That means it can reach China’s coastal facilities across the Taiwan Strait.
A few weeks ago, the CCP appointed editor of the Global Times declared that if the US continued to re-arm and support Taiwan’s independence, “war will come”.
Two weeks? I would have thought China would have chewed up Taiwan in only two days. Surely the generals are being a bit too cautious here. And Australia? My guess is that we last two minutes, maybe less, for who has the guts to fight, and anyway, our ruling class will surrender instantly. Isn’t that what the policy of being an Asian country that has defected from the West, involves?

“Sky News host Paul Murray says if Donald Trump loses the presidency, China is going to come for Australia. His comment comes regarding recent news China has placed an import ban on Australian exports. “China is going to come after us as an example of what happens if you displease them, of what happens if you demand the accountability you demand for every other nation,” Mr Murray said. “Australia demanded that we must know what China knew about a pandemic in their own country. “We must know, why they decided to cut off domestic flights from Wuhan, but why domestic flights going across the world, were able to continue for another week. “A million people have now died because of the plague that got out of control in China. “But Australia is being punished because we want that accountability. “China, as the totalitarian state that it is, reacts to accountability… as if you had said the most insulting thing about a leaders’ mothers. “They turn off the tap to punish you. “China today have put their foot down and now seek to punish Australia. “China wishes to treat Australia as the rogue state, the example they would send to Biden’s America, Johnson’s UK.”
