In sheer numbers and money, it is dwarfed by China's military.
Taiwan has around 215,000 soldiers and a defence budget of $12 billion compared with China's estimated two million armed forces backed by a budget of $178 billion.
China is a nuclear-armed state with a growing arsenal of state-of-the-art weaponry including advanced fighter jets, two aircraft carriers, and more on the way.
It also has a growing number of missiles, some of them hypersonic, positioned just across the Taiwan Strait and more than 60 submarines, including nuclear-powered vessels.
Taiwan's 300 or so fighter jets have all been in services since the 1990s.
Its navy is massively outgunned by China's -- two of its four ageing submarines were built in the 1940s.

Taipei needs to spend more on its armed forces and treat them with more respect if it hopes to repel a Chinese invasion
Leaving it all to the Americans is going to turn out to be a bad plan....we are not going to save these people from being absorbed by China whenever China decides is the right time.

In your case? Yes.
I spent years going to China for Ford. You don't know anything about China but by all means keep pretending.

Great, where did you visit?
Nope, not even close. China has much bigger fish to fry than Taiwan.
Thanks for your unsupported opinions...........
Why tRump because tRump is a lawlessly hacked in criminal against humanity and to which his treasonous, un American and uncivilized cult followers at voting against their own interests are at fault for that COVID-45 curse on humanity. Also sexual gratification can be overrated.
Clean up on post #5, bring a mop & straitjacket.........
The only thing we dont know is when.... the biggest problem with right now is that the Military could be more ready and they are occupied with consuming Hong Kong....but you never know.

There are so many desperately thin people roaming around these days...I want all to talk to their hearts content so that I can easily see who is worth my time and who is not.
You and me certainly dont agree on everything but I do believe that we are Blood Brothers here.
