In a major speech, President Xi Jinping has said China would "never promise to renounce the use of force" against Taiwan—prompting applause from delegates.

"We will continue to strive for peaceful reunification," Xi said as the Chinese Communist Party's 20th National Congress kicked off in Beijing. "But we will never promise to renounce the use of force. And we reserve the option of taking all measures necessary."

Taiwan has maintained a separate government from China since 1949, but China claims the self-ruled island as part of its territory.

Unification of the two sides "will be achieved," Xi said, according to the Associated Press. ...

I have been worried about this myself. LOTS of people seem to be scared that the Neo-Soviet Union will use nukes to subdue Ukraine,and that this will lead to nuclear war.

I wish I could say "That is preposterous!",but I can't. Putin is obviously insulated from reality,which is a condition shared by every dictator in history.

The same can be said for the freaking Chinese.

Unfortunately,there is nothing we can do to slap them back into line.

If China and the Neo Soviet Union choose to take this path,there WILL be another world war. Not that reality is ever allowed to intrude into the thoughts of dictators until it is time to back them against a wall and shoot them.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
