@doujin_sexy China is cunning. If China attacks Taiwan and Japan strikes China, China won’t use nukes. But under the China-DPRK pact, North Korea will nuke Japan. The US will then hit DPRK from South Korean bases—exactly what North Korea wants. DPRK won’t stop at US bases. Alsothe DPRK–Russia
@michele_geraci Quando i cinesi fanno ironia o “高级黑” (sarcasmo sofisticato / advanced black humor) sui social media, alla fine aggiungono un emoji della testa di cane, così non vengono attaccati dalle forze amiche [doge]
@CNN Beijing's top brass had three hot takes: the paranoid claimed a dark, silent US warship near the coast was a sneak attack; the panic-stricken assumed the US unlocked new EW tech, immediately calling an emergency meeting and holding a hype rally for a catch-up initiative
@edwardwctse@Defence_Index Years from now, after countries like Japan and the United States have spent enormous amounts of time and money building up their own rare-earth processing industries, do you think China won’t lift its restrictions and start dumping rare earths on the market at cut-rate prices?
@sam51824016070 To be honest, Taiwan should count itself lucky that Beijing spends so much effort suppressing popular sentiment. If they ever decided to unleash it instead, Taiwan would likely be first on the chopping block, with Japan right behind it.

@satireorcry1 For China, the priority was maintaining suzerainty and receiving tribute, not acquiring Korean territory. Yuan Shikai was sent to Korea mainly after the Imo Incident and Gapsin Coup. Following Qing intervention to restore King Gojong, the Korean court requested that Yuan remain
@satireorcry1 China has never really been interested in Korea’s small territory. If it had truly coveted it, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty would not have granted the name “Joseon” (朝鮮) when Yi Seong-gye (李成桂) asked for a dynastic name hundreds of years ago.
