Do you think the Biden Administration will come to the defense of Taiwan if it is invaded by The People's Republic of China?

LTC Private RallyPoint Member — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 01:19:12 -0500

We have seen is coming for the last 10 years. China is now building its 4th aircraft Carrier. In my opinion, they want to confront or spoil a counter-attack by the United States by placing 4 aircraft carriers as a screen to keep us out while Taiwan uses its 800 javelin missiles and its older M-60 A3 tanks and other weaponry to stall the people's Republic of China's forces on the beach and in the interior while we mobilize and hopefully come to their aid. If we do not, we will let Taiwan go down in history to defeat. At the end of WW2, Mainland China was Nationalist and its military was strong from US advisors training whole Chinese Nationalist Divisions in preparation to defeat the Japanese. After the war ended, The Nationalist Armies were slowly defeated by the Communists and Former General/Secretary George Marshall hated Chang Kai Shek and he did not support the Nationalists with additional arms and ammunition while Russia was giving captured Japanese weapons and ammunition to Mao Tse Tung's Army causing the Nationalists to retreat to Taiwan by 1949.

In my book, climate change is not the biggest fear but the invasion of Taiwan which will result in climate change of 20 years of global cooling if we have a limited nuclear war. National Geographic published a story 11 years ago on this exact subject discussing how the climate would be cooled by a limited nuclear war between India and China. I have been commenting for 2 years here to forget about climate change, it will come to bite us in the behind if we get into a limited nuclear war. Taiwan also bought new F-16s and as many torpedoes they could get their hands on from Foreign Military Sales.

We had a Defense Treaty with Taiwan that expired in 1980. The PRC just took back Hong Kong, I think they will be emboldened by our internal strife from the moment George Floyd died and the cities surrendered to the leftist protests/riots and now the strife from the insurrection of the fringe right group on the Capitol. The impeachment of Former POTUS Trump may be on your minds but remember that China likes our infighting. I hope President Biden sends a show of force like past Presidents have done. Remember, North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam during the tenure of the weak Ford Administration recovering from the Watergate scandal and POTUS Nixon's resignation. My Social Worker Mother spent 3 weeks at Camp Pendleton helping resettle refugees after the fall of Saigon. We do not want a President Obama Faux line in the Sand. We will also find out if Tony Bobulinksi was right. 108 Abrams M1A2 tanks are on order but it will be about 17-25 tanks a year to Taiwan. Hopefully, POTUS does not interfere with the FMS.

The threat to Taiwan has been constant and the weakness and lack of support by Democrats has only made it worse. China seems to get its way the last few decades when the US gives into them which is far too often. The Communist controlled government there is also a threat to the other countries that are in the Asian Continent with constant threats and acts. Its not a threat that is going away and weakness Will help it happen.

Unless the world recognizes Taiwan as an independent country, which they will not, then any actions China takes against it, as a rogue province, will be legitimate. Taiwan is technically a province of China, and any foreign interference in what amounts to be an internal matter would be met with strong political opposition at the least, and possible armed resistance from China. Can we defeat China if they decide to make a military strike, I do not know. 4 carriers, and mainland air support would be a tough nut to crack. And sinking a Carrier would escalate the conflict beyond a small local conflict, into a regional one, and forces in Japan and S. Korea would be a viable and legitimate Target for China. China does not have to "win" a conflict involving us in this, just make the price we would be paying high enough to garner opposition within our political structure, and erode our political will to continue.

History gives us a lesson to study similar to this. The Korean conflict in 1950, and what happened when Thousands of Chinese "Volunteers" came to the aid of North Korea, and where nearly successful in driving a 50 country UN backed force back into the Sea.

Roundabout offering.

Russia is not the Soviet Union. Russia is an anorexic, anemic skeleton of the superpower that the Soviet Union was. The only reason Russia has any influence in Europe is cheap energy for sale. Putin would not have gone nuclear for the Crimea. President Obama and the European Union showed Russia and China just how gutless and shamelessly self-interested the West is.

So to directly answer your question, no we won't come to Taiwan's defense. We will impose sanction's. Then the pathetically weak DNC will cry about how the American Farmer (I am one) is paying too high a price. And China will shut down the flow of critical strategic minerals and cheap manufactured goods. The media will weep because we get our cheaply made substandard crap from Walmart and Amazon in 2 weeks instead of 5 days.

Six months later, Taiwan will be completely subjugated. The West will accept the new norm. Fidget spinners and cheap bamboo wall mounted shelves will be available in Walmart and shipping times from amazon will be 3-5 days.

China's Taiwan grab will be a hot topic during the following election cycle and forgotten by the second election cycle. While China looks for its next hor d'oeuvres, [The Senkaku Islands and/or Ryuku Islands (Okinawa+) disputed with Japan; or the Spratly Islands disputed with The Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Vietnam].

many people here are not applying strategic/tactical viewpoints - China has long desired to absorb Taiwan, this is nothing new. They just did not have the infrastructure, or power to do it without provoking a no win situation with the United States. The scenario has changed. 4 Carriers, mainland air support, and blockade of Taiwan will work. Taiwan is still a part of China, thus the territorial boundaries exist. Any incursion by the US into that boundary can, and will be, considered an act of war, if the US goes to oppose the move. China has played the long game, and is patient, for years. The question we need to be asking - is Taiwan worth a nuclear exchange. We already have seen China's indifferent attitude to sanctions, political pressure, and world opinion - couple this with western economic stability dependent upon the Chinese market, and they have a strong position. Like I said, for China to win this, they do not have to defeat the US Military, they have to make the price of it so high that it erodes the political will of the US.

We all know that China is going to eventually force this issue, and it will happen in the next 20 years, everything they have been doing is leading to it, isolate allies in the South China sea, island building and claims of uninhabited islands all the way to Japan, the takeover of Hong Kong, all of which has been nearly unopposed for for the last 10 years.

It will start as an air war to gain air superiority. I am no expert on the militaries of China and Taiwan, but I will say it is a great assumption that China's Airforce will have the upper hand due to their mass. It will be a different war if the US helps Taiwan. Here are some assumptions I will make:

- China will gain air superiority if the US does not intercede.
- Chinese aircraft carriers are not threated by anti-ship missiles if they want to create a screen line off the coast of Taiwan.
- If the US helps Taiwan, China will turn this into a regional war in the Southeast Asian Sea and the Pacific Ocean to attack our fleets and ground assets.
- It will be a huge undertaking logistically to support our fleets and other assets.

Here is a question, will the US be able to build up a coalition of countries to fight China?

I would hope that we would but I'm afraid that the current administration would more likely try to talk the communists off the beaches. Beijing knows this and is preparing to invade. The carriers and the Amphibs. that they are building all point to the same objective an invasion and reoccupation of Taiwan. If the US does not defend this free and democratic country all of our far eastern allies will stat to rethink their place in the world vis a vis the United States (The Paper Tiger)

In light of the Biden family's financial connections to the PLA and Beijing as well as Ms. Pelosi's protection of Eric Swalwell despite his being compromised by the communists I doubt that we will respond quickly or decisively enough to save Taiwan.

I tend to believe we won't help Taiwan, because as many others have said, Biden and his crime family are owned by China.

But, I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that China will beat Taiwan either. Taiwan is an island nation and it would require massive amphibious assaults and airborne drops to even get into the fight with Taiwan. China's capabilities in both areas is sorely lacking and limited. They have zero experience with either and both are probably the most dangerous and risky ops a military can take on. Taiwan has been preparing their defences for years and it will be extremely costly to China to force a landing and they may not even succeed. The US, even with it's experience in airborne and amphibious ops, is not keen on ever attempting them again. And while thousands of Chinese you soldiers and phony missiles make for a very pretty military parade, they have very little training and next to no combat experience. No, this would not be a walk in the park for China.

I served on a destroyer that was routinely assigned to Taiwan Patrol. While we were there essentially as a trip wire...what could one ship with only guns do against a force bent on invasion...the duty was a relief after serving the Market Time patrol and gunfire support off Vietnam. Our primary port was a small commercial one on the northern end of the island. We got our share of Serious Warning Number —- but never an encounter.

We grew fond of locals but noticed that the country was on a constant wartime footing. Anti Aircraft emplacements were visibly manned 24 hrs a day. Of note, nobody would discuss any opinion of Chang Kai Shek. The govt was a dictatorship with benevolent overtones and very friendly to US Forces.

This last year we saw two cruisers take up patrol duties for brief periods to show the flag. If there ever was a time to stay the course, it’s now.

China is well known for playing the long game and for testing by pushing then withdrawing just a little and outlasting Western interests. That the Japanese invasion leading to WWII was well armed by adopting and adapting Western technology and trained by the West is not lost on China. Since WWII, what she will expend in terms of manpower and resources hasn’t been matched. Technically she hasn’t lost to the West anytime recently. Korea and Vietnam are two examples.

One must not forget that China as a naval force now is just starting its seaward push after having a navy that would have easily crushed any Western force of the 1800s, but that was a Navy of the 1500s and was abandoned as China didn’t see a need to expand into the Pacific.

China of today is well aware of the West’s previous history in her territory. It was not kind. China was already a formidable empire when Columbus sailed in three tiny ships, and China paid dearly when the West finally got access and established colonies through brutal methods. Like Russia, China is well aware of her previous glories. Why wouldn’t she seek to push us back?

Lest anyone read the foregoing wrongly, I’m not a fan of China’s government and its efforts to subjugate others nor its movements into others’ territories. Rather, it’s just one guys take and an invitation for considerations of the history lest some continue to think of China as lesser and without cause to respond to the West.

What should be happening is the whole world should be holding them accountable for the CCP Wuhan virus they unleashed, whether deliberately or through incompetent lax security as we know they had at that facility. Why are they even dealing with manipulations to create new viruses so they can develop a cure, when we do not allow that kind of experimentation - for the very reason of what has happened? Personally, I think they would like to have biological warfare components to which they have protected their own army against. An ill enemy is much easier to defeat than a healthy one.

No. Of course not. The administration - or better said, the people who are pulling POTUS' strings, who are the same people who do not let him out of their sight or allow him to speak without the script they've given him, and who dictate the non-questions or "puff-balls" that reporters are allowed to ask him, - will care nothing for Taiwan or what Taiwan represents. They will instead send out their minions to spout the "allowed doctrine", the "party's story", which will revolve around the idea that this is an "internal Chinese matter to be resolved among themselves", then they will sit back and watch the slaughter.

Politically, we ceased being a reliable and dependable ally to countries that might defend individual liberty in even the scantest ways. Since "socialism" is now the harangue of the "woke" crowd, which is amply represented in the current "administration", and since the "Goebbels approach" is their favorite national socialist methodology, what we should see is an increasing condescension with totalitarian regimes (given that totalitarianism is the logical political consequence of the economic doctrine of socialism). Any government that remotely respects liberty should not expect any help from THIS administration.

So, to reiterate, no, the "people who pull biden's strings" administration will not lift a finger to defend Taiwan. In any case, I expect they will Goebbels-"justify" it and, in some cases, applaud it.

I think that the current administration will sit on their hands until it is too late. Rather like our behavior in the opening days of WWII. Probably will refuse immigration as well. No confidence

There might be one way to get the Biden Administration to do this. Convince them that it helps "counter" the racism in the US. Also, tell them that the Trump Administration "refused" to do this.

Has anybody read the latest military times of how the Navy just sank a boat from 250 miles away with a drone guided missile from one of their guided missile frigates? AND, remember that the US military has had it soldiers, marines, airmen and navy personnel engaged for the last 20 years. When was the last time China has been engaged in a conflict with its soldiers. Plus, China has a conscripted army, navy, and air force. Plus remember reading the last couple of weeks about China's number of Navy vessels now outnumbers the US? How many of those vessels are combatant. I remember reading the past several months that the CCP Navy largest number of "combatant" vessels are actually Coast Guard Vessels. And if the US's allies in SEATO like the UK, Australia, Japan and so forth also assist I think China might think twice. Although we have a questionable CIC who is probably banking millions in China banks. Everything out of his mouth or every other sentence seems to be questionable.

I do not think any Chinese carriers present a serious threat to US forces, as they are highly vulnerable and severely substandard to current US carriers. Most importantly, China will not want to risk losing their carriers, due to their symbolism, and will instead use their air forces and countless missiles to keep US forces and carriers at bay.

While the US carriers maybe kept at bay through such application of countless missiles, I would imagine that the US response would largely be based on lthe use of heavy bombers like the B52, B1, and B2 bombers, and myriads of cruise missiles. (If I had to guess, I think we would also go after their carriers, whether they deploy them or not!)

On the question of would the US risk a greater war by helping Taiwan, I think the answer is an unqualified yes... Part of the reason would be to disrupt China's economy and economic activities across the globe.

NO, I do not! His past performance has always been one of submission to foreign powers! His current collusion with his son, Hunter, in the private sector with China prevents him from any National military response. They still own him with financial obligations. He is compromised.

With the current administration I doubt much would be done. I also think the masses will agree with no action taken. We have been in active combat since 1990-91 most people are tired of seeing their brothers, sisters, and kids coming home in coffins or disfigured.
If we were to commit to something like this, I feel, would be based on the defense companies pushing the lawmakers (in their pockets) to do so.
Please don't get me wrong, I think we should help them all the way. Same with Israel v/s Iran.

We will build a Allied coalition. I don't know if there will be a modern day Winston Churchill who declares war on China because he views her as an evil empire. As alluded too, some of the Allied countries will commit to the fight.

I will go into the geographic disparity of China and the US. There are no Islands close to the US that China can use for logistics and attacking the US mainland. However, in the Pacific area there exists many islands and island countries to include countries in the Asian continent that we can use for logistics and to attack from. I will safely assume more Asian countries trust us more than China.

My prediction should China attack Taiwan is it will overwhelm the little country relatively quickly because it is so close to China. The Allied forces do not have to retake Taiwan right away. I believe the key is the Allied nations to mass their military capabilities to cause severe attrition to the Chinese military. We don't have to commit our aircraft carriers because we can use islands and Allied countries on the continent. We can use distance to keep our aircraft carriers safe. China on the other hand, their aircraft carriers will be vulnerable unless they move them a great distance from the fighting which makes no sense because they will become irrelevant.

We need to sink her aircraft carriers. That will make our navy safer due to a lack of Chinese naval air power and their navy more vulnerable because she can’t protect her fleets as well. The key to winning the war in my mind is to cause attrition to key Chinese military assets like aircraft carriers and planes and to conduct strategic bombings to prevent her from replacing what she lost in the war. For example in WWII the Japanese lost all her aircraft carriers and could not replace them at the end of the war. Should China be ruthless and conduct strategic bombings of Taiwan to kill civilians, then it would make it much easier for us to decide to reciprocate on Chinese cities.

I firmly believe the strategic importance of China's claim to the South China Sea is to build her capacity to control a region in the Pacific area just like Japan did.

In summary destroy her most important military assets and prevent her from replacing them. It will be a very bad day for China if we control the seas and the air. This is how I would fight China. I have no concern about her army unless we want to invade China, but I don't think we want to do that. Tojo, Hitler, and Napoleon learned the more countries you fight, the better chance you will get your ass kicked.

Chances are the commie joe regime in Washington D.C. will do nothing. As he is budy budy with mainland China, even when he was V.P. under odumbo. It also would not surprise me one ioto if he does not canel contracts that Taiwan has with the U.S. to purchase arns, i.e. tanks, missles, fighter planes, and such.
Especially if you have been keeping up with the news and the atracjsby hamas and militant palestinians on Israel lately. He will not condemn hamas or the palestinians for the attacks.
Only person that commie joe is for is commie joe, same goes for a number of democraps in both houses of congress.

Just finished "The China Mirage" by James Bradley. It exposes the game Chaing ran and how we went right along with it. His army was a paper tiger, and the money we pumped into China lined his family's pockets. Mao's victory, good, bad, or otherwise, was pre-ordained before WWII. As far as Taiwan's concerned, with all the American business, (and fortunes), tied up in the PRC, who's side do you think we'll come down on, treaty or not?

What is with all these stupid questions lately? Of course he would! We are an ally of Taiwan, Biden said so himself. We always have warships in that region, we fly around that area, we've told China what we'll do. Probably the biggest reason why China hasn't invaded Taiwan is our deference. Our military is shifting its eye towards the Pacific and China. Anyone who says otherwise is blinded by hatred for Biden and democrats not actual facts.

Absolutely not. China has the ability to keep the US out without using military means. China has huge influence over the US. For instance Sen Feinstein had a chinese spy as her driver for 20 years. Sen McConnell's wife and in-laws have very deep connections to the CCP. Rep Swallwell was caught in a honey pot trap with a Chinese spy. Most of DC is infected by the CCP as well. Lets not forget the Biden family business dealings with communist China.There is a chinese general (supposedly retired) who owns 200 square miles in Texas. Part of it is a wind farm so he is plugged into Texas's power grid (no sneaking in, he is in). He also has a 10,000 foot runway there. China has had US social platforms help them censor the internet there (the US companies were more than happy to help censor people). China dictates to Hollywood and the NBA what they can and can not say. Top US military leaders are more concerned with being social justice warriors than military warriors. On top of that they are afraid to call China an enemy, competitor is all they can muster the courage to say. The US is an open country with no borders. Enemies of all variety's can and do cross the border. The US is willing to fight third world countries that don't have the reach or impact of China, don't count on the US standing up to China. It is a sad state of affairs.

No, because the Chinese have highly advanced anti-ship missiles that could sink our carriers. And if we went nuclear, they could too. Plus they see Biden as a doddering old libtard fool.
