    So that if (hopefully not when) China invades Taiwan, they won’t get hit with sanctions as bad as Russia did.

      Omfg the brain rot it takes to write this.

      1. China has repeatedly stated that they have zero intention of invading their own island and killing their own countrymen. It’s only Americans that keep repeating this lie that China wants to invade Taiwan.

      2. Russia has been placed under the most comprehensive sanctions in moderns history, including the USA seizing assets in violation of established sanction rules, and Russia’s economy is growing in both absolute and globay relative terms, while Russia’s military is larger than before the SMO started and still out producing the entire Western MIC combined.

      3. Meanwhile, the USA has attempted to engage in economic warfare with China and has lost every single time. China continues to dominate the top ~50 hi tech research areas, continues to outpace every Western nation on all meaningful economic growth rates include financial, purchasing power, infrastructure development, etc.

      There is no world outside of the USA propaganda cesspool where your comment even remotely matches reality.

        Keep typing this shit up, very good use of your time.

        Remember: the actions of these countries speak louder than any words.

          If the actions of a country is what you’re going to judge them by, it blows my mind that you would trust literally anything the USA says about anything going on in the world.

              USA is the only one saying China wants to invade Taiwan and they’re the only who are saying sanctions are harming Russia.

                It’s pretty easy to find direct reports from the Taiwanese government being reported?

                TAIPEI, May 15 (Reuters) - China’s military has sailed and flown closer to Taiwan in recent weeks than it has before, and staged mock attacks on foreign vessels ahead of the inauguration of the island’s next president on Monday, according to Taiwanese government reports.

                  Most of the world agrees that:

                  1. There is only one China
                  2. Taiwan is a part of China
                  3. The Communist Party of China is the legitimate recognized government of China

                  So what’s the problem here?

                  You mean China is doing military exercises in it’s own territory? Wild! I wonder if Alaska should be worried about the USA invading it. What do you think?
