Analyst says ‘Biden would not intervene if China invaded Taiwan’

Copley predicts China will start by taking Dongsha Islands, followed by Kinmen, Matsu to create 'de facto surrender'

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — An Australian analyst on Thursday (Nov. 5) predicted that the U.S. will not intervene if China invades Taiwan during the Biden administration.

"With vote-counting still underway and the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election uncertain on Thursday, conservative radio talk show host John Batchelor asked Australian historian, author, and strategic analyst Gregory R. Copley to give his take on American foreign policy under a Biden presidency.

"Copley, who is president of the International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA), asserted that under Biden, Russia and China would "move into Europe," negotiations with the Palestinian Authority would begin, and the Iran deal would be restored."

He also stated that China's seizure of territory in the South China Sea will increase and that the country could take military action against Taiwan — without intervention by the U.S.

When asked whether Biden would return to Obama-era policies when dealing with China, Copley agreed, alleging that "Nobody has worked harder for the election of the Biden administration than Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China." He claimed that China devoted resources toward the election of Biden because his victory would provide relief from the "pressures which the Trump administration was putting on them."

O'Biden

You don't need an analyst to figure this out.

And there you have it. No one worked harder for Biden than Xi Jinping

[Analyst says ‘Biden would not intervene if China invaded Taiwan’]

Well, then. China would have reason to manipulate the election for Biden.

Should now be some 4-year investigation into “Chinese Collusion” with Team Biden.

Even if was inclined to do something, China would blackmail him into silence

Indeed. From the article: "He claimed that China devoted resources toward the election of Biden"

There's blatant in-your-face election interference.

As well as rolling back all the sanctions already in place against China and Hong Kong. It would give China the freedom to continue to more forcefully suppress any ideas of democracy and rights in Hong Kong.

Type in "Should I learn Chinese?" in Google. Here's what comes up:

Should I learn Chinese?
"CHINESE IS THE MOST SPOKEN LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD"

"Yes, this is the first and the most important reason why you should study Mandarin. ... More than 1.2 billion people speak Chinese. Not only is Chinese spoken in China, but it's also spoken in Singapore and Taiwan. Jan 5, 2018"

------------

What is the second reason? They didn't say...

Actually, this is exactly how America gets into wars.

Truman said we would not defend South Korea.
Eisenhower would not defend South Vietnam.
Bush 41 through April Glaspey said we would not defend Kuwait.

If the Chinese Communist rebel entity (CCRE) invades the legitimate Republic of China, the pressure would be immense in the US at home and from all over Asia.

Exactly what I’ve been thinking.

Most likely is that China will simply blockade, or restrict, access to Taiwan. If the US does not intervene by breaking the blockade, then Taiwan will have no choice but to capitulate. No doubt some face saving circumlocution will be adopted on all sides, but it will be effectively a surrender.

Chinese is NOT the most spoken language in the world. You Googled wrong.

Google most spoken language in the world

English is the largest language in the world, if you count both native and non-native speakers. If you count only native speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the largest. Mandarin Chinese is the largest language in the world when counting only first language (native) speakers.

It’s also completely incorrect. English is, by far, the most spoken language on Earth and it isn’t close.

Mandarin is the most widely spoken first language on Earth and even that is debatable.

Google is asshoe.
