@Daryl68Link @Doublejdcoke @War_Radar2 40,000 - 100,000 have died in the last 20 years on the Vietnamese side in the last 20-30 years fighting the Chinese.
Well, I can only imagine why they choose China, their largest and most dangerous neighbor, as their first visit, maybe something to do with this?

‼️🇹🇼🇨🇳 Taiwan just sent a chilling message to China.
A Taiwanese F-16V silently tracked a Chinese J-16 fighter using the advanced Sniper targeting pod, without triggering a single warning.
No radar alerts.
No electronic signature.
No clue for the Chinese pilot.
Analysts say the Taiwanese jet could have fired an AIM-9X Sidewinder and destroyed the J-16 before the pilot even realized he was being targeted.
The released image shows a crystal clear lock on the Chinese fighter’s engine nozzles.
This wasn’t a photo. It was a warning. 👀

@MercuryPossum @Doublejdcoke @War_Radar2 What? Where did you get all these? Having a territorial dispute doesn't cause death and suffering. LOL have you seen Vietnamese leaders always visit China as their first foreign visit? Arguing with someone know nothing about Asia is a waste of time.
English
@Daryl68Link @Doublejdcoke @War_Radar2 So vietnam ISNT actively preparing for conflict with China rn? Or isnt having border skirmishes with them? Or having sea territory disputes?
English
@D162Michele Europeans are good at this. Palm oil and coconut oil are they really bad for our health or just a threat to the European oil industry?
English
@MercuryPossum @Doublejdcoke @War_Radar2 LOL claims usually mount to nothing. Vietnam resolved it and the Philippines wasn't having issues until the USA bribed the new regime by unfreezing his father's assets. So, who is behind all these again?
English
@Doublejdcoke @War_Radar2 Oh, so true.
Remind me, what is China's regional policy again?
English
@JanJekielek @GordonGChang That's actually a good thing. One will stop or slow down the maker of weapons. The other will allow a greedy corporate from making tonnes of money from people's suffering. Is a good thing for the world.
English
Communist China currently faces major challenges: a collapsing demography, an ailing economy, and a military in disarray after a series of purges.
But at the same time, the CCP still maintains two strong cards against the United States, says @GordonGChang.
They have a near monopoly on rare-earth processing and on critical pharmaceutical precursors.
“That’s an astounding chokehold.”

Your last name is Chen.
How do you think you ended up here?
Lauren Chen@TheLaurenChen
My hot take is that it's OK for Americans to not want to compete against the entire world for a job in their hometown.
English
@lukedepulford LOL China is just to the left on this map. Now do one for the US bases and you know why they have to deploy. Another entitled Europeans.
English
Any concession to Beijing over Taiwan will make the world a more dangerous place.
Joseph Wu@josephwutw
Our ISR/intel shows that the #PRC has deployed over 100 vessels around the #1stIslandChain over the past few days, so soon after the #Beijing summit. In this part of the world, #China is the one & only PROBLEM wrecking the #StatusQuo & threatening regional peace & stability.
English
@shetlerjones Is a valid question because most Europeans China 'expert' have never been to China or know nothing about Chinese culture.
English
Even Wang Yi, thought to be one of PRC’s most cultivated and able officials, has to fall back on the old deflection: “have you been to China”?
Laura Ingraham@IngrahamAngle
The Chinese officials don’t like to be questioned by a free press.

@joedoc2112 @FDD @MarkCMontgomery @WSJ Americans sure don't get it. China might object but once they reunite guess who will have first hand look at our equipment.

"If the president does not proceed with the arms sale to Taiwan, he will jeopardize U.S.-Taiwan relations and weaken U.S. credibility globally."

@NikkiHaley Finally, the truth was never about the people in Taiwan but it's advanced chips making. The US politicians never care about people other than themselves just like this person.
English
Taiwan makes almost 70% of the world’s semiconductors and more than 90% of the most advanced chips powering your phone, your car, and the AI race.
If China controls Taiwan, the Communist Party gains leverage over the world’s most critical tech supply chain. That’s not just a threat to Taiwan’s 23 million people living in a thriving democracy — it’s a threat to global freedom, security, and the future itself.
English
@AmbJohnBolton Hahaha we Americans don't like war. What did you take to make that claim?
English
No one wants a China-Taiwan war, but China is pursuing aggressive tactics like practicing invasions and blockades of Taiwan. The real question is not whether Taipei and Washington want a war, but how best to avoid it.

@Kolas_Yotaka Wow a Taiwanese with Japanese name trying to create trouble in Asia. Only Europeans and the Japanese dream of China invading Taiwan. Meanwhile, no one has forgotten what the Japanese did during WW2. Meanwhile, Europeans not pushing more aggressively about Gaza.
English
If China is a rational actor, it needs to be persuaded to give up its reckless obsession with Taiwan. Focus on your own development and contribute to the world. Don’t normalize the crazy part.
English
@TimothySandefur Sure, we need Europeans to save us and write 5000 of our history lol. Why don't you just mind your own business and not stirring up problems everywhere you go.
English
Yes. Taiwan is not a “breakaway province.” It has never once been ruled over by the PRC. A PRC effort to take over Taiwan will be a foreign invasion by a communist aggressor.
Face The Nation@FaceTheNation
“We don't want a war. We want peace and stability,” says Taiwan’s representative to the U.S., Ambassador Alexander Yui, regarding relations with China. “We are sovereign, independent away from the Chinese People's Republic of China's attempt to swallow us as one of their own. They have never ruled or controlled Taiwan, ever,” he adds. “Those are intruders trying to get into our house. We're trying to beef up our security system. And then they complain, the intruder complains that because we're trying to improve our security system it’s making his job harder.”
English
@chasewnelson Hmm you look European and will probably run back to the hole you come from. The people who you convince to find your war are the ones suffering. So, get your arse out of Asia.
English
If Taiwan were part of China, I’d already be in jail for this post.
Chase W. Nelson 倪誠志@chasewnelson
I live in Taiwan, and this place is a country, not a bargaining chip to be traded between China and the US. Yet, as Trump and Xi meet, the whole world is talking about this place with seemingly zero input from its leaders. 1/3
English
@WSJ @WSJopinion Don't think China is betting on our decline. The world is cheering China to stand up to the bully of the world. It is time for us to stop causing suffering and death around the world.
English
From @WSJopinion: Chinese President Xi Jinping might fall into his own trap if he thinks the U.S. really is in decline enough for China to risk a war

@NikkiHaley Wow the person with so much hate is quoting the Bible.
English
“We must obey God rather than men.” — Acts 5:29
Pastor Jin’s courage is a reminder that faith cannot be dictated by the Communist Party. When governments demand loyalty above God, standing firm has a cost — and that’s exactly why the pastor’s witness matters.
This week, we are praying for his release and for all those wrongfully detained, persecuted, and imprisoned for their faith in China.
The Free Press@TheFP
On October 10, 2025, Chinese authorities launched coordinated nationwide raids against underground Christian leaders. Chinese pastor Ezra Jin and many others were arrested on charges of “inciting to subvert state power.” According to his family, Jin is being held in harsh prison conditions without proper medical treatment or access to a Bible. “What we’re seeing now is a renewed desire from the state under Chairman Xi to engineer souls.” WATCH “Inside China’s Shocking Persecution of Christians” by @FrannieBlock:

If Xi Jinping has nothing to hide about his (ruthless) treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, why does the Chinese government still prohibit independent journalists from traveling freely to Xinjiang? trib.al/oTGzbEk

@mitchellvii The world is 8 billion and we are over 300 million. It is just that we pay a premium price because corporations run the US government.

China cannot survive without the US. The US can survive without China. That is Trump's leverage.
English
@dannyctkemp The way they are reporting about China should have been a box of air. Especially, the racist network of Fox News.

Trump and Xi lunch menu:
Minced Codfish in Seafood Soup

Stewed Beef in a Bun
Steamed Pork and Shrimp Dumpling
Chocolate Brownie

@Michael7ucci If you mean able to catch criminals effectively is a bad thing. Our laws basically protect the bad guys or those who want to do bad things. Meanwhile, regular Americans are afraid of getting shot, rob or kill. How is that better for us?
English
Communist China’s values are incompatible with America’s.
Their oppressive surveillance state is evidence that we cannot have their spyware in our society and infrastructure.
This is how the CCP crushes their own citizens; why wouldn’t they do the same to us?
State Armor@StateArmor
Fox News' @BretBaier on surveillance and censorship in Communist China: "There are thousands and thousands of cameras… when they talk about something negative about China, it goes to bars and says, ‘please stand by.’ If you talk about human rights or anything like that, it shuts off for like 30 seconds."
