[This is a threat from the dumb assed Chinese in 2022. They talk a lot but, as I've said endlessly, you won't see them making an actual move on Taiwan … because then you'll see what worthless assholes they really are. And we'll all be rolling on the floor laughing as the Chinese are slaughtered. Don't worry about all the brave predictions below about how awesome the Chinese will be. Rest assured, they'll be useless. Jan]

Any country supporting Taiwan militarily would face the “worst consequences,” China’s government warned Saturday, adding that “no one and no force” would be able to stop the Communist Party if it took action against the island country, according to a report.

China’s relationship with Taiwan has come into focus against the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with the island bolstering its own defenses since the war started in case of aggression from the mainland.

Taiwan said it planned to double its yearly missile-production capacity this year. The announcement from the defense ministry came after Taiwan approved an extra $8.6 billion for military spending over the next five years.

Beijing doesn’t see Taiwan as a sovereign country but rather as a breakaway province that can be absorbed back into China by force if deemed necessary.

The Communist Party’s warning came a day after Chinese President Xi Jinping held diplomatic talks with Australia, according to Sky News Australia.

China’s Ministry of National Defense accused Australian Defense Minister Peter Dutton of “ideological bias” after he said the country would do “whatever we can” to keep China from attacking Taiwan, Sky News reported.

More aggressive stance

China has taken a more aggressive stance against the Democratic island nation lately, sending a record number of fighter jets into Taiwan’s air defense zone late last year.

And last month, as Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, nine Chinese aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defense zone, prompting a broadcast warning from the island nation.

Taiwan has been increasingly on edge since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, seeing parallels between their own situation with Beijing. After the invasion, the slogan “Today, Ukraine, tomorrow, Taiwan!” spread online, according to The New York Times.

According to some estimates, China spends more than $250 billion on its annual military budget, while Taiwan spends around $13 billion.

The Communist Party characteristically balked at Taiwan’s recent concerns in the wake of Moscow’s war in Ukraine, suggesting it’s exaggerated rhetoric meant to make Beijing look aggressive.

‘Continue to watch’

“We continue to watch to try to identify, has [China] learned the correct lessons as it applies to the changing world order and the concern that we see in the Ukraine?” U.S. Navy Adm. John Aquilino, commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday, according to the Military Times, of the unified global condemnation of Russia over the invasion and its military struggles in Ukraine.

The setback for Russia has been encouraging to many in Taiwan.

“Putin’s war sends a signal to China that it won’t be as easy to take Taiwan as it imagines,” Taiwanese lawmaker Lin Chu-Yin told Bloomberg this week. “And it also breaks the myth that one can easily defeat another smaller or militarily weaker country with missiles.”

This is a fantasy though because:

Taiwan is much smaller than Ukraine. Ukraine is a huge country. They are fighting over hundreds of kilometers in distance.

Taiwan is an island, there won’t be US weapons getting into Taiwan like it does into Ukraine from Poland, also refugees won’t have anywhere to flee to. It would be a total disaster for Taiwan.

Unlike Russia is with Ukraine, China will be ruthless, it will just kill everyone in its path. China just wants the territory and the microchip factory, China won’t care about the inhabitants. China is genociding Uyghurs now as we speak. Russia isn’t genociding anyone and Russia has been careful to have as little civilian casualties as possible. China clearly isn’t gonna be humane in its invasion.
