Hat Trumps Beschwichtigung von Putin die Nachricht an China geschickt, dass sie im Grunde ein 4 -Jahres -Fenster haben, um Taiwan zurückzunehmen?

I guess 4 years window won’t be required
Taiwan at least has leverage in carrying the stock value of US big tech. A invasion or blockade that blocks TSMC and other Taiwanese semiconductor companies would ruin the stock market in the US. So long as that dependence is there US is commited. Can’t say Trump being against the CHIPS act makes Taiwan’s leverage weaker as well.
I would think that China is studying an offer on trade that would involve the US pulling back the carrier based in Japan among other concessions. Use Trump’s transactional instincts to soften the board over the next couple years before any further moves.
What is this title? Nowhere in the article is Putin or Russia mentioned. How exactly has Trump “appeased” Putin? By talking on the phone? Negotiating to end a bloody war?
It’s so disingenuous.
People here forget that it’s in America’s interests to apply the very same „containment strategy“ that they last used against the USSR in the past to their biggest current threat which is the PRC. A US-Russia alliance would also open the door to recruiting another ally like India …
Regardless of whatever administration changes in the White House, the new administration will be faced with a choice of realpolitik once more where they may have to pick between bringing an ineffective Europe in the Asia Pacific theatre where they may lose more than just Taiwan (potentially South Korean & even Japan) or cementing their place/position in East Asia with the help of both Russia and India even if it means breaking apart NATO and having their former allies seek out security guarantees from China …
Very unlikely, since Trump’s deals with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing is a sign of stronger economic ties. A peace deal in Ukraine would mean less entanglements that could overextend US resources should Taiwan become a hot zone.
Why does China want Taiwan?
Putin wants and is encouraging US-China hostility, but would not benefit from actual PRC conquest of Taiwan.
No submission statement and the title doesn’t even match the article, which offers almost ZERO insight into the posed question, aside from some vague speculations at the very end. This is low-quality content.
Idk , trump seems to have a grudge againsts china
Call me crazy, but I’m not convinced China is ever going to “take” Taiwan in any physical expansionist sense. Taiwan is already a special economic type, and requires stability. China can actually present everything Taiwan needs and currently gains from other state relations.
Past arguments over control of the state notwithstanding, I can see China having a more supportive relationship with more vulnerable states, and Taiwan is no exception. Given how the American/British relationship is currently shaking out, China is uniquely positioned to become a benevolent fulcrum in geopolitics. Seems quite possible.
