watch too many movies.
Depends on which movie.
Here's something for the China/CCP fanboys.

and more... Its independence will be short-lived because then China can forget about peaceful reunification and will take Taiwan by storm. China will also be ready for American and Japanese military intervention.
Wishful thinking because Winnie the Pooh is so well-loved by people all over the world and not just 1.4 billion Chinese, minus the usual minority noisemaking traitors.Nope, China will be regime changed.

Taiwan is panic-stricken because of Covid19 over the last month, and their situation is not terrible. a China invasion is many times worse. the Taiwanese have the will and determination to fight and survive it ?

China military flybys near Taiwan plunge after US-Japan statement

TAIPEI -- Chinese military activity in Taiwan's air defense identification zone has dropped sharply since the U.S. and Japanese leaders called for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait during their April 16 summit, data compiled by Nikkei shows.
Beijing appears to be backing off from aggressive moves that would antagonize Washington over the hot-button issue after the U.S. and Japan made their first statement naming Taiwan in decades. With China celebrating the Communist Party's 100th anniversary on July 1, the country has also prioritized ensuring domestic order.
China had sent military jets into Taiwan's air defense identification zone on 75 days between Jan. 1 and April 16, for a rate of about 70% or roughly five days weekly. A total of 257 jets, mainly J-10 and J-16 fighters, flew into Taiwan's ADIZ during these incursions, for an average of 3.4 aircraft per day of incident.
Taiwan experienced large-scale incursions of 10 or more Chinese jets on nine of those days, six of which happened within three weeks of the U.S.-Japan statement.
China tends to increase flybys around Taiwan whenever Washington signals greater involvement with the island. A record 25 aircraft flew into the island's ADIZ on April 12, four days before the statement, amid growing speculation that U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga would refer explicitly to Taiwan.
China's posturing on April 12 also came one day after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's warning that "it would be a serious mistake for anyone to try to change that status quo [on Taiwan] by force."
Beijing's activities near Taiwan diminished after the summit, both in scale and frequency. Su Tzu-yun, from Taiwan's Institute of National Defense and Security Research, said the Biden-Suga statement had a clear impact.
Since April 16, an average of 1.9 Chinese jets has entered Taiwan's ADIZ per day of incursion. No incidents involving 10 or more aircraft have been reported.
Incursions have occurred in just seven of the past 14 days, with two aircraft involved on only one occasion. The other six days involved one plane each -- including on June 4, when Blinken criticized China on the 32nd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.
China wants to avoid antagonizing the U.S. over Taiwan, while demonstrating Beijing's military might to those at home ahead of the Communist Party centennial, Su said, noting the recent uptick in provocations against Southeast Asian nations.
Sixteen Chinese military jets approached Malaysian territory on the island of Borneo on May 31. They shifted course once Malaysia scrambled its own aircraft in response.
Over 220 Chinese vessels have been moored by a reef in the Spratly Islands, which both China and the Philippines claim as their own, since March. The Philippines has slammed the presence of the ships in what the archipelago considers its exclusive economic zone.
I wait only for the result.Alamak... you must have watched too much CGTN.
It's just like the Euros, you support your team, I support mine. Let's wait for the kickoff.
I only remember this fck chingkuo plane because it use the Golden dragon pulse doppler radar.https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/In...=3&pub_date=20210613093000&seq_num=2&si=44594

My point of this thread is not about regime change nor liberating Taiwan nor the might of America. My point is simply the PRC,CCP, PLA etc had been been the Sick Man of Asia in the 1890s and today after more than 130 years is still the Sick Man of Asia with no balls. This is an embarrassment to all Asians not just Chinese. Every "red line" they set for the Americans not to cross the Americans had cross. Americans perhaps was worried the slant eyes could not see their military aircraft landing in Taiwan so they chose one of their largest military aircraft C17 to show the world and the promised military reaction from China and the "3 days taking over of Taiwan" did not materialise. Prove me wrong China is not the Sick Man of Asia.
PRC / CCP
Orang asli will start a guerrilla warfare xi jinping will regret.and more... Its independence will be short-lived because then China can forget about peaceful reunification and will take Taiwan by storm. China will also be ready for American and Japanese military intervention.
Beijing responds to 'acts of collusion' between Taiwan and West with show of air power

China has responded to what Beijing has labelled "acts of collusion" between Taiwan and Western powers with a show of air power.
Key points:
The Group of Seven leaders issued a joint statement on Sunday scolding China over issues including Taiwan
Beijing said Taiwan's government was to blame for tensions
The fly-by happened on the same day a US carrier group entered the disputed South China Sea
Twenty-eight Chinese air force aircraft, including fighters and nuclear-capable bombers, entered Taiwan's air defence identification zone (ADIZ) on Tuesday, the Chinese-claimed island's government said.
It was the largest incursion of Chinese aircraft reported by Taiwan to date.
The incident came after the Group of Seven (G7) leaders issued a joint statement on Sunday scolding China for a series of issues and underscoring the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, comments China condemned as "slander".
Asked at a news conference whether the military activity was related to the G7 statement, Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, said Taiwan's government was to blame for tensions.
Beijing believes the island's government is working with foreign countries to seek formal independence.
Democratically-ruled Taiwan has complained over the last few months of repeated incursions by China's air force near the island, concentrated in the southwestern part of its air defence zone near the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands.
However, this time not only did the Chinese aircraft fly in an area close to the Pratas Islands, but the bombers and some of the fighters flew around the southern part of Taiwan near the bottom tip of the island, according to Taiwan's defence ministry.
The fly-by happened on the same day the US Navy said a carrier group led by the USS Ronald Reagan had entered the disputed South China Sea.
"The Ronald Reagan Strike group did not interact with any Chinese military aircraft," Carrier Strike Group 5 spokesperson Lieutenant Commander Joe Keiley said in an emailed statement responding to questions on whether the Chinese aircraft had approached them.
"During the strike group's South China Sea operations, all communications between ships and aircraft have been consistent with international norms and have not impacted our operations."
A senior official familiar with Taiwan's security planning told Reuters that officials believed China was sending a message to the US as the carrier group sailed through the Bashi Channel, which separates Taiwan from the Philippines and leads into the South China Sea.
"It's strategic intimidation of the US military. They wanted the United States to notice their capability and for them to restrain their behaviour."
Taiwan needs in particular to pay attention to the fact that China's military has started conducting drills in Taiwan's southeastern ADIZ, the source added.
This "to a certain degree was targeting our deployments in the east and increasing air defence pressure around our ADIZ", the source said.
Taiwan's east coast is home to two major air bases with hangers dug out of the sides of mountains to provide protection in the event of a Chinese assault.
