Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

No invasion of Taiwan this year

Post by newkidontheblock »

Just finished watching the latest episode of ‘China Uncensored’.

The winds have shifted across the strait, making a full scale invasion of landing hundreds of thousands to millions of troops logistically impossible. Until March of next year or so.

Unfortunately, President Xie has taken all the generals and staff that

Xie has taken all the generals and military commanders who opposed the invasion and arrested them. They are all presumably shot. Just like Stalin did to his military prior to the Nazi invasion.

Unfortunately, President Xie has made clear that the invasion of Taiwan IS the military’s goal.

‘China Uncensored’ looked at the documents for the military and PRC people in general. Prediction is 2025 invasion. Or earlier.

Not the fantasy stuff peddled out to the world largely by Xinhua and other branches of the government for western consumption.

I’ll go ahead and put my tin foil hat on, now.

@NKOTB Your source:

Chris Chappell
Moving towards his career, he is currently working as the creator, host, and author of the YouTube channel named China Uncensored. He created the channel in September 2012 and has gained more than 615k subscribers. The producer of the channel is Falun Gong. In addition, he has another YouTube channel named American uncovered which has around 50k subscribers.

Falun Gong media is linked to weirdos and conspiracy theories:
Falun Gong/Epoch Times
The Epoch Times is an international multi-language newspaper and media company affiliated with the Falun Gong new religious movement, based in the United States.[4][5][6] The newspaper is part of the Epoch Media Group, which also operates New Tang Dynasty (NTD) Television.[7] The Epoch Times has websites in 35 countries[8] but is blocked in mainland China.[8]

The Epoch Times opposes the Chinese Communist Party.[9] It is also known to promote far-right politicians in Europe,[10][11] and backs President Donald Trump in the U.S.;[12] a 2019 report by NBC News showed it to be the second-largest funder of pro-Trump Facebook advertising after the Trump campaign.[13][14][15] The Epoch Media Group's news sites and YouTube channels have spread conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccination propaganda.

Who is Epoch Times and Why are They Supporting Trump?

The Epoch Times, the mysterious publication is linked to Falun Gong. The Epoch Times is spending more than most presidential campaigns on Facebook to promote pro-Trump videos.

It is an obscure publication aimed at the Chinese diaspora, was one of the top three political spenders on Facebook in the last week in April. The paper outspent every presidential candidate except Biden and Trump himself, according to an analysis by Acronym.

The Epoch Times spent this money to promote stories that Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, has championed, including the New York Times story on “Spygate.”
(They were not promoted by The Epoch Times primary Facebook page. Instead, they were funneled through another page called “Coverage of the Trump Presidency by The Epoch Times.” This made it harder to find the actual ads through the database.)

Buzzfeed reported that according to Facebook, The Epoch Times has spent almost as much on Facebook ads in the last week ($148,937) than the Trump campaign ($149,610).

The Epoch Times is organized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in New York. That means it gets some of its funding from donors. Who are the donors? Under U.S. law, The Epoch Times is required to report them to the IRS but not required to make them public.

The Epoch Times is a newspaper that has long been linked to Falun Gong — although The Epoch Times denies any official affiliation. The Epoch Times is banned in China, where Falun Gong is being persecuted, and distributed free in the United States and other locals around the world. It was founded in 2000 by John Tang and other Chinese Americans affiliated with the Falun Gong movement. It has been publishing in English since 2004.

It has also emerged as “one of the staunchest defenders of Donald Trump’s presidency,” according to BuzzFeed.

The Epoch Times has also praised a new move by the pro-Trump duo Diamond and Silk, interviewed obscure Republican candidates seeking to unseat Democrats, and claimed that Trump reads the paper daily.

Many Epoch Times staffers are practitioners of Falun Gong who work for the paper part-time for little or no pay.

The Epoch Times is written by people who are persecuted by the Chinese government. Trump is destabilizing the relationship between the U.S. and China through a trade war.

They should take back Taiwan, it is historically part of China and needs to be re-unified.

Taiwan has never been ruled by a communist party and I see no reason they should have to start now.

Taiwan is an independent country and should be recognized by all democracies in the world as such.

I see that there are Global News fans on CEO.

American has been historically part of China, too.

Also Vietnam, and countless other places.

Taiwan has always been in favor of peaceful unification. Just not conquest by a communist nation. The people suffered for decades under a military dictatorship until they got their democracy in the 1990s.

Anyways, just got back from a drubbing about the benefits of the PRC taking over the world. And how it’s a good thing.

Taiwan should take possession of China. It’s recent history that has them displaced, there... And then hand back Tibet.

Don’t listen to Chinese whispers.
