Sure, but I bloody well hope Starmer does not align itself to it. They are crazy. If they do what they reckon they will cause major corporate industries to go bust because they rely in China's supply chain. There is no substitute. It's economic suicide. Chances are the industrialists will have words in their ears and they will back off somewhat, but the thing is I would not invest in the EU if I were looking for regions to expand in. Blighty must make itself look like a more credible investment option by not screwing with supply chains. Businessmen get very nervous even at the whiff of it. Businesses are quite keen on protection from subsidised dumping form the far east. |

All the factories in Taiwan are rigged up so that if China invades, scorched earth, dictatorial China gets nothing. Yeah but I don't think they ever plan to invade. If we fast forward to the time when China solves this problem, what I would expect to see is the Chinese living in Taiwan will elect to unite fully with the mainland. It will happen democratically, and at the same time the US would feel powerless to do anything.
You and your US friends think in a particular way. I'm not saying here the way you and the US think is wrong, but just a different way of thinking and each type of thinking produces results. The way you and your US friends think about it is a bit like a game of chess. It's a well defined game with simple rules. The way the Chinese play things is more like a game of Go. It's a strategic game like chess, but is more complicated and uses different strategies. So it is like you think you are playing chess with the Chinese, but they are playing Go, and that is why you will not understand the things they do and the reasons for the decisions.I mean you and your US friends are just currently playing chess with the Russians who understand chess and are good players themselves. Here both sides are understanding one another. Move over to the East though and it feels a bit like you are doing LSD. Nothing is quite what it appears and you get many surprises. The thing is the ones living in Taiwan are very similar to the ones on the mainland. Actually one of my favourite Youtubers is Taiwanese and he talks about the Chinese mainlanders a great deal. It's almost like they are brothers. Those down in Langley have got completely the wrong idea about that area.

You didn't think Putin would invade.
You don't think human rights abuses take place in China or Russia.
You think the BRICS is wonderful.
I'm afraid I don't think as you do.

You didn't think Putin would invade. True, but I understand not even the army thought they would invade. It goes to show how unpredictable things are, given we don't have much reliable evidence to go on and most people lie. Even if you did think he would, it does not prove you are any smarter. I would be correct 50% of the time just by guessing.
As for Taiwan, sure, all sorts of unpredictable things might happen, especially since we are dealing with the US again. I'm starting to think the high command of the US collectively have actually gone insane. I see many of their decisions put them further in the shit. To give an example of a counterproductive move just recently, they are banning Chinese students studying STEM in the US university system. Many educated commentators say this will backfire on them. What I'm concerned about is the UK does not follow this US insanity. If they tell the UK to shoot itself we must refuse.

Loads of people did think Putin would invade including Nigel Farage.
China, like Russia is encouraged by appeasement and signs of weakness.

It's true they get on, but the Russian way of thinking and the Chinese way are worlds apart. Russia has a long military history. In China's history, they have had various battles internally in their development, but for the most part they were merchants who set up cooperative trading arrangements with foreign countries in ancient times of the silk road and so on. Upon arriving on the shores of a foreign land they would present the king with a valuable gift as a gesture of good will and peace. By not needing massive armies they set up a huge international trading system and got rich. It is the philosophy of peace and good will, and quite Christian in many ways. Actually if you look at our own history we did a similar thing with the church and their missionaries. Once you have established friendship with a foreign land you can trade and it is this trade that makes you rich and everyone wins out of it.
By the way, it is said that if Trump gets in, which looks likely, he will apply a protectionist trading policy akin to the 1890s as one person described it. America may find this puts them further in the shit. Trump is not Mr Saviour, just another wrong'un like Biden. They are all puppets of the military.

Both dictatorships.
Both countries in which accurate polling is impossible.
Both countries in which the public are oppressed.

Nazi Putin fans can fuck off to Russia join the Russian military and die in HIMARS strikes. Fuck Putin. Fuck the invasion. Liberate Donbas and Crimea. Destroy the invaders.

Yes, we should join Brics, make peace with Russia, get cheap energy from Russia, participate with China in the development of advanced technology, and let Chinese firms invest in manufacturing operations here as well. We must understand we are a minor player, but we do have some good stuff to offer. UK is supposed to be number 3 in the world regarding AI, and AI is going to to be huge. Collaborate with China, split the profits fairly. |

They are building new homes for them and the Ukrainians are getting to like their new rulers. One town the Russians took over the other day they did so without any fighting. The ones posted to defend it packed up and they were let in peacefully so no one got killed. |
