Choices to Take Taiwan by China

Choices to Take Taiwan by China

Presented by:  Dr. David K. Ewen

I do not have the ability to know the specific plans of the Chinese government. However, I can provide some historical context and possible scenarios based on current geopolitical trends and China's past actions and statements.

Historically, China has always considered Taiwan as a part of its territory and has repeatedly stated its intention to reunify Taiwan with the mainland. China's current leader, Xi Jinping, has also been very vocal about his desire to achieve reunification with Taiwan during his time in office.

There are a few possible ways that China could attempt to take Taiwan, including:

[1] Military invasion: China could attempt a full-scale military invasion of Taiwan, using its large military and naval forces to overwhelm Taiwan's defense capabilities. However, this would likely result in a significant loss of life on both sides, and could trigger a larger conflict with the United States, which has pledged to defend Taiwan.

[2] Economic coercion: China could use its economic power to pressure Taiwan into reunification, by imposing trade restrictions or withholding investments. China has already been using this approach, as it seeks to isolate Taiwan diplomatically and economically from the rest of the world.

[3] Cyber warfare: China has a highly sophisticated cyber warfare capability, and could use this to disrupt Taiwan's infrastructure and destabilize its government. This could include hacking into government networks, disrupting financial systems, and creating chaos in the streets.

[4] Diplomatic isolation: China could use its diplomatic clout to isolate Taiwan from the rest of the world, by pressuring countries to cut off ties with Taiwan and recognize China as the sole legitimate government of the region. This could make it harder for Taiwan to resist Chinese influence and could lead to a de facto reunification.

It's important to note that any attempt by China to take Taiwan would likely be met with resistance from the United States and other countries that support Taiwan's independence. The situation in the Taiwan Strait is complex and constantly evolving, and any attempt to predict the future would be highly speculative.

Ambassador Professor

Introduction Have you ever heard of the fascinating profession of an Ambassador Professor? It's a unique role where one person takes on the responsibilities of both a diplomatic ambassador and a university professor.

People Don't Know The value of Ambassador Professors may not be evident to everyone due to several factors that hinder their recognition: 1.

As a result, people may not grasp the importance of this role. 2. Limited Visibility: Ambassador Professors work behind the scenes, often unnoticed by the public eye. Their contr...

Impact of Illegal Border Crossings from Mexico to the United States

Impact of Illegal Border Crossings from Mexico to the United States The issue of illegal border crossings from Mexico to the United States is an issue that has been heavily debated in recent times. This essay will explore the economic, social and political impact of illegal border crossings from Mexico to the United States. It will analyze the implications of this phenomenon and explore how it has shaped the United States in the past and how it will shape it in the future. According to PM Orrenius’s research in the Economic and Financial Review-Federal Reserve (2001), illegal border crossings from Mexico to the United States has had a profound economic impact on both countries. In the US, illegal immigrants are typically concentrated in lower-wage occupations, and are less likely to be unionized than native-born workers. This has resulted in a decrease in wages for some American workers, particularly those in the same industries as undocumented workers. On the other hand, the influx of...
