China doesn't want to attack Taiwan. The US is provoking them and trying to turn Taiwan into its own vassal and stop China from completing its Belt and Road Initiative which would develop the Global South's economies and make them independent and protected from Western colonialism/neocolonialism/imperialism and IMF debt loans. As countries are moving away from the US dollar, our own economy is suffering because our government refuses to stop being a demonic imperialist entity that wants to rule over the world and not allow a multipolar world where different countries can work and trade together mutually and peacefully, which would lead to workers running the government and building an economy that benefits humanity's well being.
Only china can control that no one else. I understand dealing with US is like making a deal with the devil when it comes to geopolitical issues. Chinas preparation and growth of their military says otherwise tho.
China can't control the US setting up military infrastructure in its own province which threatens its own existence and national security. What if China started developing military opposition in Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, or California? Wouldn't the US lose their shit and see it as a threat to its own existence? Then why is it fair that we are doing the same in Taiwan?
So stop trading with us and punish us with sanctions or is the $$$ more important? Thats what it all comes down too always.
The US is the one sanctioning China and hurting its own economy. China is responding to those sanctions, but they would rather work peacefully and encourage mutual trade with us. But the US doesn't want its own citizens to benefit from China's affordable electric vehicles because US's own car manufacturers would have to lower their own overinflated prices.
Sounds like a bunch of excuses… china can but rather the money, its that simple!
