If it is too costly for China to invade Taiwan via amphibious warfare then why doesn’t China just nuke one of their cities to make them capitulate? The US nuked two Japanese cities for the same reason.

because eventually taiwan will elect a pro-mainland party and join

Because the big cities make chips dummy.

because that's what the western world wants, a reason to attack china, nuke them and then take over the chinese society and its people, they literally just have to wait and if possible double down on the blacked propaganda directed to western countries and in 30 years taiwan will be theirs without shooting a single bullet

Nuke the big cities that don’t have chip industry

China’s most likely course of action will just be surrounding Taiwan navally and blockading the whole island. Why would they nuke Taiwan? If they hit Taipei it’d knock out a perfectly good city China could have under it’s belt.

What’s the point of invading a country if you’re just going to nuke it you absolute fucking retard. You’re the reason why childproof caps exist

Taiwan isn't even attacking, Imperial Japan was.

Also Taiwan is practically speaking probably more useful as rallying cry of sorts than when actually taken by force.

Russia invaded Ukraine and the west didn’t attack them. China will just get sanctions like Russia.

This is probably true.
There won't be a war under Xi Jinping.
After the last 5 years I realized he isn't a warrior. He will always be remembered as a great leader who kept stability and prioritized economic growth.
Perhaps the next leader will be more belligerent. Let's hope not.

You couldn't be more wrong... Xi is at war with the world.
It is called "Unrestricted warfare"

They just know that the other nations can't fight back without a formal declaration of war, and they own the Western politicians who could make that happen...

The nukes are to make them surrender without invasion

Xi isn't that stupid to destroy the entire world

Problem is that china wants Taiwan mainly for the computer chip dominance and the fact it imports more stuff to the west.
If they take it by force and get sanctioned it kind of eliminates their economic might in those fields of products if the west simply cuts them off AND starts simply making their own.

They will do the smart thing as and simply wait for it to integrate rather then another war hawk like Putin, even if Putin wins this war he would have essentially United most of the world against him.

>drop nuke on Taiwan
>now you have an island that’s irradiated and the fallout will probably spread to your mainland poisoning the water and nearby towns
>but it’s ok because they surrendered

US had military superiority over Japan. The nukes were just the fast forward button on the war. If China nuked Taiwan it'd give the world carte Blanche to curb stomp them without remorse. And China isn't really too popular right now.

Taiwan isn’t gonna join China in the near future, their younger generation hates China and doesn’t want to integrate. They even identify as Taiwanese. The only way Taiwan would join China is if China was under the Taiwanese government.

They had to fast forward to deny the chance of the USSR invading from the north

The West is insanely rich. Russia cant even compare.

So you wonder why does the west have to team up as NATO to take on single countries like Russia.
There is no super alliance between the chinese or iranians or arabs or russians.
The west needs to team up in order to rule the world. Slowly we are losing our influence. The chinese navy has grown so much and soon they will have enough power to control their side of the pacific. This terrifies the west. Smaller countries coming under the influence of China, Russia, Iran.

The US nuked Japan twice and this wasn’t a big problem. Both cities got rebuilt and are nice to live in now.

Russia is a western ally, who sent soldiers to destroy Rhodesia? russia, russia is just as pozzed, they flood ukraine and western europe with africans, this is why the azov nazis are against russia, they would never attack and destroy their own, plus europe and america going into a war with russia withour china getting involved would destroy your economy and make china stronger, the momment China enters a real conflict the western world will deploy all their force against them

That isn't very likely. You can look at recent elections. There aren't even any pro-mainland parties to speak of.

or if china showed the young taiwanese NPC retards the true face of america and the west, nobody likes niggers and showing your true society would be enough for them to switch sides, but nl need for that, the west will loose all its economic power in a couple of decades

you are retarded. russia has nukes. us wants russia to nuke europe and europe to nuke russia leaving us a single superpower again

This

There are those with Ties, however.

but if they have the power of lady tamamo-no-mae

>for the same reason
Opinion discarded, OP is a retard

Taiwan is a democracy, they will vote out politicians with ties to China

What's stopping China from rigging the election? If the Democrats can do it, surely they can?

Exactly. And you can't stop it.

In a free democracy, you can maybe rig a percentage here or there.
Taiwan has turned away from pro-mainland parties massively since the chain events of Hong Kong, Covid, and Ukraine, reminding them of the utter untrustworthyness of China.
Pro mainland politicians will probably get 30% of the votes at maximum, good luck rigging that much.

happens all the time
