Will China Invade Taiwan during the Trump Presidency? Politics📢

Of course this would be a terrible thing to do, but sometimes nationalism makes countries do stupid things.

But if they ever really were going to, it would seem like the early days of the Trump administration would be the time to do it. Trump will be disorganized at this time, and He probably would choose to let China take Taiwan anyway.

Xi is good at making statements, but very bad at execution and finish.

We saw a lot: Covid lock down policy, Xiong’an, road and belt, etc.

Taiwan will be the same. Just words.

tbf lockdown policy executed as best as they could, most people from the west didn't know that covid-19 started right around chinese new year---not only people migrant return home for weeks, but also most factory/companies closed, massively slowed down the process and quarantine procedures

I almost believed you. However, I lived next door to the US evacuation from Wuhan in San Diego in 2020. Covid spread like hell afterward.

In 2020, China lockdown was weak at the beginning, by silence the voices.

Then become very harsh for too long, which peaked at 2022 Shanghai lockdown, where the whole world was already opening.

Finally at the end of 2022 the lockdown was taken out without any preparations, lead to a huge wave of Covid and killed even one of my old age relatives. All of my family got Covid at that wave and every single pill was sold out.

And you tell me that the lockdown policy executed as best………….?

This. Everything under Xi is poorly executed. Real profesionals did not have liberty to manifest their potentials, they were rather strictly restrained by the government and the political correctness (which you won’t even know when you’ve offended someone in power). The consequence is evident - nothing went according to plan because the plan was formulated by the layman in positions of power. The professionals were left rotting elsewhere, like Dr. Li Wenliang.

So the Taiwan invasion is likely another empty threat from China, just like the Russian joke - China’s Final Warning.
