we would get involved with Taiwan
we have a treaty with them
but this is Iran, not Taiwan
Drone striking Iraqi soil is a hop skip away from drone striking on let's say, Vietnam
and China wouldn't risk a war over Iran
To kill some leader
They source their oil from Persian gulf, just like rest of East Asia
So yeah
The USA de facto warring a supplier forcing a Saudi Monopoly? China will be pissed
Just answer this question:
China should just rely on their own resources
Oh
just like us, right?
See that's funny because I said the same
YES
YES FFS
yeah that's why I said it
they won't
Right
And I don't care if they don't
If we pull out, we allow China, which is very much an adversary nation to gain a huge economic advantage
Do you want a communist government to be the world super power?
They'll collapse due to demographics in 30 years
So no
It's temporary
They're dying. Like Japan and SK
Not if they have the economic strength to expand
Economics don't raise adults
Doesn't magically give you more babies
which they will to avoid collapse
In fact, more wealth does the opposite
No, they wont
Dog
oh yeah they will
They are struggling with their current pop
Struggling
they're eyeing taiwan for specificially that reason
Not at all
The population of Taiwan is tiny
Compared to their over 1B people
Their interest in Taiwan is political and strategic , not for increasing population or babies
