For the Chinese Communist Party, what is the bottom line that the United States should stick to?

[Junzhuo Gu]

For the Chinese Communist Party, what is the bottom line that the United States should stick to?
As a U.S. senator said: no normal person wants a military conflict between China and the United States. But the United States clearly has to stick to its bottom line, if the Communist Party does not touch the bottom line of the United States. There will be no war between China and the United States. I believe that the Chinese Communist Party must also try to avoid military conflict with the United States. But the question is whether there is a tacit understanding between China and the United States on this issue? Does the Chinese Communist Party clearly understand the bottom line that the United States must adhere to?
So what is the bottom line for the United States towards the Chinese Communist Party? Should defending Taiwan by force be the bottom line of the United States? It is obvious that defending Taiwan by force should be the bottom line of the United States. Because the Taiwan issue is the core issue of Southeast Asia as a whole. If the United States does not stick to the bottom line of defending Taiwan and Taiwan is conquered by the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China will almost completely control the most important maritime routes of foreign trade between Japan and South Korea, Japan and South Korea will fall to the Communist Party of China, and the relationship between the United States and Japan and South Korea will be greatly weakened. The whole of Southeast Asia is bound to be more afraid of the Chinese Communist Party, thus losing the courage to confront the Communist Party of China. In this context, the economic and trade relations between China, Japan and South Korea will be strengthened. In the face of unilateral economic, scientific and technological sanctions and blockades by the Communist Party of China, the United States can hardly work.
Moreover, Taiwan itself occupies an important position in the fields of science and technology and industrial manufacturing. The occupation of Taiwan by the Communist Party of China will certainly greatly enhance the strength of the party in science and technology and manufacturing industry.
In this way, it is difficult for the United States to curb the development of science and technology and manufacturing industry of the Communist Party of China. As a result, the military strength of the Communist Party of China will inevitably develop simultaneously, and eventually it will have the strength to confront the US Navy on the high seas, and the possibility of a military conflict between China and the United States will be greatly increased.
If the United States appeases the Chinese Communist Party on the Taiwan issue now, it will cause great disaster. Taiwan is the first dominoes in Southeast Asia. If Taiwan is knocked down, it will be out of control. Therefore, the Taiwan issue is of vital importance. The entire Southeast Asia is looking at the US's responsibility. If the United States withdraws from the Taiwan issue, other countries, including Japan and South Korea, will lose confidence in the United States and turn to the Communist Party of China. In history, Japan and South Korea were originally affiliated countries of China.
Taiwan is the bottom line that the United States must stick to. The United States should make clear its position to the Chinese Communist Party to avoid misjudgment. In this way, the United States, backed by its own strong strength, can ensure peace, suppress the ambition of the Communist Party of China, and curb the speed of scientific and technological progress of the Communist Party of China. By depriving the Chinese Communist Party of the conditions for greater risks in the future, the United States will be safer.
In order to demonstrate the determination of the United States to resolutely defend Taiwan and completely eliminate the idea of the Communist Party of China attacking Taiwan by force, the United States should stationing troops symbolically in Taiwan.
I should make it clear that I am not a Taiwanese and have never been to Taiwan. I am from mainland China, and now I am in the United States.

The product consumers in the USA are basically funding China's military build up and it's power of influence.

It is difficult for the United States to unilaterally block the Chinese Communist Party. Sanctions must be synchronized with the west to work. One of them is the simultaneous sanctions against the Communist Party of China with Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Therefore, it has long-term strategic value for the United States to stick to the bottom line of protecting Taiwan.

Taiwan does not have to repel or defeat the entire PLA attack and invasion force to stop 'em cold or in their tracks completely before they ever might set foot on the island. Ask the Pentagon cause this is what they'll tell you.

It's a long standing reality and military principle that once the defender destroys or immobilizes some 40% percent of an attacking enemy force the force has to turn back. Because if the remaining assault force that has lost upwards of 40% percent of its strength and capability continues to press on the probability is exponential it will lose 80% percent of it. It would be good if the Boyz in Beijing were aware of this yet who knows about those grandiose Chinese elites and their fantasies through history. Not only do those guys believe their own bullshit, they don't even know it's bullshit.

So the operative word is kaput. Just ask the Germans who couldn't come anywhere near close to immobilizing the allies at Normandy in June 1944 and got swept away and driven back across the Rhine. Or stopping any US-allied landing in WW II with rare exception such as the Anzio Campaign which was poorly conceived, badly coordinated yet not as traumatic as Gallipoli in the previous war. As to Anzio the Germans had their heaviest artillery and guided bombs not to mention more astute commanders.

The Taiwan armed forces have the capacity and the capability today to take out 40% percent of the total PLA assault force air, sea, land. Plus Taiwan has its homemade cruise missiles that resemble the US Tomahawk to bash the mainland with. Better yet drones with missiles are in the pipeline to be finalized for Taiwan and this is after Taipei signed up for two battalions of the Abrams main battle tank to top off its existing armor force -- this factor alone sent the PLA back to the drawing board. That's 103 Abrams.

Taipei is moreover increasing their military budget by almost 6% percent to recalibrate the 40% percent devastation of the PLA total force to more like half of 'em. The Strait is so heavily mined the PLA can walk across it besides. The mines are like bread crumbs except they lead the seaborne invasion force into a zone 40km off the island where they'll be sunk en masse. It's the old saying, keep your friends close but bring your enemy in closer -- for the kill.

But if Taiwan loses its air supremacy, all its resistance will disappear. Relying solely on Taiwan's strength, Taiwan will fail and be occupied by the Communist army. The participation of the United States is decisive for Taiwan. The decisive factor of modern conventional war is air supremacy.
However, it is very unfavorable for the United States to fight the Communist army in Taiwan waters. In this way, the weapons of the Communist mainland can work and be within the range of the continental air force's attack. I suggest that if the Communist army attacks Taiwan, on the one hand, the United States will help defend Taiwan, and in addition, cut off China's maritime transportation lines and impose a maritime blockade on China. The Chinese Communist Party can not bear the serious consequences of the attack on Taiwan, forcing the Communist Party to give up the attack.
The United States should look for the weakness of the Chinese Communist Party and attack it. The Taiwan Strait is not China's weakness. China's weakness lies in the international seas, and the United States should attack the Chinese Communist Party on the international seas.

It's not impossible for the CCP-PRC military to assault Taiwan, invade it, conquer it, yet it's challenging in the extreme for the Party's armed military force to succeed at doing it. Conversely, while it's not impossible for US conventional armed forces to defend Taiwan, it is challenging in the extreme for USA conventional forces deployed throughout East Asia to do it, ie, to include necessarily and timely deploying additional forces from the USA and other global locations.

Hence the proposed Taiwan Defense Act introduced in both Houses of Congress just months ago that would require the United States to "deter or defeat the People's Republic of China against Taiwan." And for the Pentagon to "ensure" US armed forces can continue to defend Taiwan after either Beijing or Washington used nuclear weapons in the event of China attacking Taiwan.

At the core of the bill, for the Pentagon and Congress to do:

An assessment of the role of the nuclear forces of the United States in deterring or defeating a fait accompli by the People’s Republic of China against Taiwan, including concepts for — (A) deterring limited use of nuclear weapons by the People’s Republic of China in the Indo-Pacific region without undermining the ability of the United States Armed Forces to maintain nuclear deterrence at the strategic and theater levels against the Russian Federation and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea; and (B) ensuring the United States Armed Forces are able to continue combined joint operations to defend Taiwan in a nuclear environment following nuclear weapons use by the People’s Republic of China or the United States.

https://www.hawley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/2020-06/Taiwan-Defense-Act.pdf

In short the bill introduced just recently in both Houses of Congress as the Taiwan Defense Act would place Taiwan under the nuclear umbrella of the United States. Indeed, it is confirmed Beijing is preparing full on for a sudden, swift, massive strike against Taiwan via air, sea, land, to conquer the de facto sovereign nation as a fait accompli before the US can conduct a capable and effective defense of the island nation.

It recognizes what's often called an Iwo Jima strategy by Beijing, ie, a USA enemy possessing a heavily fortified island for the taking at a great cost to Americans given the mainland China is 90 miles closeby. Hence the current and new movement in Washington to confront, deter, or defeat Beijing by introducing the nuclear arms factor to the CCP vs Taiwan standoff.

 

[Tangmo]

It's a big deal yet it's not the first time a US military plane has flown over Taiwan island itself. What made heads explode in Beijing is that it's the first time Taiwan announced it publicly and US Indo-Pacific Command confirmed it publicly. To the Boyz in Beijing it's as if Taiwan and USA spit in their face publicly.


US Military plane flies over Taiwan, Chinese fighters enter Taiwan airspace

A US Navy C-40 transport aircraft flew north to south inland of Taiwan’s west coast the morning of June 9th. Boyz in Beijing went ballistic given it meant to them that a USA military aircraft flew over Beijing's sovereign territory and did so without Beijing's permission and without requesting Beijing's permission. The VIP craft meanwhile was given permission to fly over Taiwan sovereign land areas by the Taiwan Ministry of Defense as well as by Taiwan civil aviation authorities. As noted and while it's not the first time, it is the first time this was announced publicly by Taipei and Washington which made it a good swift kick to the Boyz with a loud slap in their face besides.

Next will be when a US military plane lands at a Taiwan airport, either civilian or military and that the Boyz in Beijing clam is the sovereign territory of the CCP-PRC Boyz in Beijing. When the Boyz pass on declaring war ha they'll look and sound like *****cats.

Taiwan is an example of China's democracy and an important force for democracy in the Chinese mainland. Thank you for the determination of the US government and the American people to defend Taiwan.

I have been worried about the military occupation of Taiwan by the Communist Party of China. Now it seems that this worry can be relieved. It is believed that there is the determination of the United States to resolutely defend Taiwan, and that the Chinese Communist Party does not dare to have a military conflict with the United States. The Chinese Communist Party retreated from the Indian army.
The Chinese Communist Party has no courage to challenge the United States. The United States should use its strength to ensure peace and the security of Taiwan.
In addition, in order to more effectively curb the military risks of the Chinese Communist Party, the United States should clearly declare that once the Chinese Communist Party invades Taiwan militarily,
In addition to helping to defend Taiwan,
The United States will impose a comprehensive blockade on the Communist Party of China and cut off its maritime trade routes. Let the Chinese Communist Party bear the blow that can't bear.

I don't have the ability to write in English. There are serious mistakes in the process of translating Chinese into English. so sorry.
1、'the Communist Party of China will almost completely control the most important maritime routes of foreign trade between Japan and South Korea," is wrong sentence.
correct sentence is "the Communist Party of China will almost completely control the most important maritime routes of foreign trade of Japan and South Korea,"
2、“ In the face of unilateral economic, scientific and technological sanctions and blockades by the Communist Party of China, the United States can hardly work. ”is wrong sentence.
correct sentence is " It is difficult for the United States to play a role in unilateral scientific, technological and economic sanctions against the Communist Party of China“

President visits long-range, early-warning station: Media speculates on US personnel spotted in the background

President Tsai Ing-wen visited the Leshan long-range, early-warning radar facility at northeast Taiwan on the Strait October 13, and the media is abuzz about the first time US personnel have been included in official pictures on the site.



Some media reports on the President’s visit to the facility focused on an official photograph released by the military which showed an apparently foreign, and assumed American, man standing behind the delegation. Noting that the Leshan Radar Station is a highly-classified facility, China Times pointed out that images and video released by Taiwan’s military goes through a rigorous review process to avoid leaking confidential information. The Tsai administration had deliberately included a US personnel in the picture to show the close relationship between Taiwan and the United States, the China Times report concluded.

A short time later Liberty Times reported that Taiwan [ROC] Air Force Command had issued a press release [in the] evening, confirming that the person in the photograph is indeed a representative dispatched by the United States in accordance with the operational agreement for the facility. Such "technical advisors" and personnel are employed to "maintain the radar systems." Technical representatives provide maintenance services to assist the smooth operation of the system and "ensure Taiwan’s air defense," the press release said.

There's just no question about it and where there is one USAF "technical adviser" and upkeep expert there's more than one. The point is made for all to see and consider.




Leshan Radar Station Taiwan Republic of China

The Leshan Radar Station went into service in 2013 after the United States agreed to sell the Precision Acquisition Vehicle Entry system, and the Phased Array Warning System (PAVE PAWS), to Taiwan.


The Leshan Radar Station is capable of providing Taiwan with more than six minutes warning of incoming missile threats. The radar system can detect objects in flight at a distance of up to 5,000 kilometers. The facility also reads missile launches in North Korea and missile-interception weapons being test launched in China.

You're about it.

While all this USA air and sea activity that includes flying over Taiwan enrages the CCP DictatorTyrants in Beijing the loudest the mouth breathers can get is about possibly using electromagnetic pulsing against US aircraft throughout the area to include over the South China Sea, not only Taiwan. There are just no reports Beijing has actually tried this or is going to try any of it.

Further, CCP Boyz in Beijing have turned enough neighbors and foreign countries against 'em globally as it's been going without taking down a civilian airliner if that might be your reference.


According to Capt. ret. Lu Li-shih, a former instructor at the Taiwan Naval Academy

China’s Military Exercises Near Taiwan: The Lowdown on an Uptick

Since August, the PLA has carried out exercises aimed at testing its [own] alongshore air defenses.

What kinds of threat from enemies make the PLA feel a thorn in its side, so that it has to strengthen islands and alongshore air defense? The U.S. military deployments in the Indo-Pacific since this year, and Taiwan’s potential new arms purchases. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi frankly noted at the 10th East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers’ Video Meeting in September that U.S. military aircraft conducted more than 3,000 activities in the South China Sea in the first half of this year. The “close-in reconnaissance” from various types of U.S. electronic reconnaissance aircraft and P-8A maritime patrol aircraft is the main reason why the PLA felt the need to carry out the recent [summer naval] exercises.

The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115) inshore cruised in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea from February to July. Taiwan is under talks to purchase unmanned reconnaissance aircraft MQ-9B (SeaGuardian) from the U.S.; these drones pose threats to the PLA’s air defense and military security. The PLA, therefore, launched “arming islands and consolidating alongshore air defense” exercises to counter these threats. Many interpret the PLA’s intensive military exercises over the past few months as an omen, a prelude to a Taiwan invasion. However, based on the analysis above, it is clear that the exercises are not part of the PLA’s preparations for an armed invasion on Taiwan; rather they are just to bridge its own combat gaps.

PLA is having now to spend more on defense than on offense. Moreover a Beijing assault on Taiwan would require 220,000 forces air, sea, land and 300 ships for Taiwan alone that Beijing is nowhere near having or getting anytime this decade.

Beijing needs 300 naval ships to attack Taiwan under any scenario because the CCP Boyz know they're going to lose a swarm of 'em to begin with. Beijing can airdrop all the airborne and special operations forces it can muster onto Taiwan yet having 'em stranded on the little island while the invasion force is sunk and turned back is not an attractive option.

US Senator introduces Taiwan Defense Act with nuclear option

Taiwan's mass produced Hsiung-Feng surface targeting missile that would bombard China from Shanghai to Shantou Port opposite Taiwan in the event of an invasion attempt by Beijing. Hsiung-Feng closely resembles the USA Tomahawk missile. The State Department on Monday notified Congress of plans for the sale of the Harpoon system, whose missiles are capable of striking ships and land targets. Boeing says the missile uses GPS-aided inertial navigation and delivers a 500-pound blast warhead. It can target coastal defense sites, surface-to-air missile sites, exposed aircraft, ships in port, and port and industrial facilities. That followed another proposed sale announced Oct. 21 of $1.8 billion worth of weaponry, including missile and rocket systems, and upgraded equipment for Taiwan's F-16 jet fighters.


“The Department of Defense Indo-Pacific Strategy Report released in June 2019, states that the Government of the People’s Republic of China is “preparing for a contingency to unify Taiwan with the mainland by force, while simultaneously deterring, delaying, or denying any third-party intervention on Taiwan’s behalf.” The bill points out that Taiwan is “a beacon of democracy in Asia” and “a steadfast partner of the United States in the common pursuit of a free and open Indo-Pacific region. If China were to use military force to compel unification of Taiwan with the PRC, not only would the world lose one of the “great champions of freedom and democracy,” but the United States and its allies and partners would face severe difficulties in maintaining a balance of power in the Indo-Pacific.

The PRC would be in a position to “impose its will throughout the Indo-Pacific region.” If the PRC were to block US access to key trade routes and markets in the region, it would bring “severe economic hardship on the middle-class and working class people of the United States and undermine the American way of life.” The Bill also calls for “an assessment of the role of the nuclear forces of the United States in deterring or defeating a fait accompli by the People’s Republic of China against Taiwan,” and “ensuring the United States Armed Forces are able to continue combined joint operations to defend Taiwan in a nuclear environment following nuclear weapons use by the People’s Republic of China or the United States.

Plus there are only two direct access routes that the PLA Navy has from mainland ports and naval bases to the open western Pacific -- one is just off the north of Taiwan and the other is just off the south of Taiwan.

North of Taiwan is the Miyako Strait that is controlled by Japan and is heavily fortified by Japan and the United States. South of Taiwan is the Bushi Channel between Taiwan an the Philippines which the USA and Japan also have covered with military support from the Phils.

If Beijing were to gain possession of Taiwan and control it, each of these only two PLA direct access routes to the open western Pacific would become vulnerable to CCP attack from the CCP-PRC of Taiwan. Neither the US nor any US ally or defense partner in the Indo-Pacific theater could afford to accept this untenable circumstance. Indeed, Beijing dominating the South China Sea and controlling it absolutely would be the next disastrous development for the USA and its regional allies and defense partners such as Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, India among many others.

It's becoming clear the US will use nukes to stop Beijing invading Taiwan to try to conquer it and swallow the democratic island nation into 21st century China with its grandiose fascist characteristics.

It's becoming clear the US will use nukes to stop Beijing invading Taiwan to try to conquer it and swallow the democratic island nation into 21st century China with its grandiose fascist characteristics.

This shows that the United States fully realizes the importance of defending Taiwan to ensure its military security and economic interests. Moreover, if Taiwan is occupied by military forces, the next goal is to take full control of the South China Sea. This is obviously disastrous for America's Asia Pacific diplomacy.

is China going to stop bribing Tweety and his daughter?

Yes and No or so I'd figure.

I'd be greatly confident CCP Boyz in Beijing will post bail for 'em January 21st. If it doesn't happen sooner.

To which Trump & Cultists will hail and celebrate their new heroes the Chicoms as leaders in human rights.
