#39. Re “why” is China “killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Red China is “power hungry” and goose eggs, golden or otherwise, are “power food”.
They’ve already seized Tibet, Macao and soon, Hong Kong, plus some of the Tai U Tao/Paracel Islands, and sea lanes in the South China Seas. They see themselves as “on a roll” (no, not an egg roll), and with the Democrats in the US Congress viewed as their “secret buddies”, what has Peking got to lose by going on the offensive.
They figured Trump would be gone by now but they can wait until the next Democrat “impeachment” ploy to aid them in weakening the president’s resistance to their aggression.
Why not? The Dems sold out three countries to Communism, genocide and slavery in Southeast Asia. Selling out Hong Kong, then Taiwan will be “routine” for them if they win the Senate and/or White House.
Red China “can wait”. They are very patient and know that they have a big “Fifth Column” in the Democrats in America.
If you think Donald Trump or any US President would go to war with China over Taiwan you are out of your mind.
