Recent Chinese Efforts To Claim Air Space also a potentiall move on Taiwan?

[falcata]

While reading about the recent conflict of interests between the Chinese and U.S/the Japanese, I was wondering if China was considering this as a potential move on Taiwan as well. I did read about the apparent natural resources the that are within the area, though I also saw a lot of people agree it's China's attempt to assert itself it its own backyard. If so and the Chinese succeed could this impede on Taiwan's sovereignty in the future?

I misspelled potential. There's always something

China plans to assert its dominion over Taiwan at some point, there is no doubt about that.


They make long term plans, and would RATHER not have to go to war for it... but make no mistake, they intend to have Taiwan someday and dominate the Asian-Pacific region, one way or another.

I know that Taiwan has been dwindling in international importance since they lost their UN seat.

Though may I ask why you posted a picture of a kukuri?

While it is similar, it is not a kukri, but a falcata. A greek sword of ancient times, given a Italian name by later antiquarians.

Well consider me sheepish :2razz:

I really should have known better.

I did it out of simple curiosity, to see if you'd recognize it.


Just meant to be a playful poke, though.


You do get points for recognizing it as being similar to a kukri, and knowing enough to say 'kukri' instead of just "Gurkha knife".

Thank you very much for the partial credit at least
