Hmm...I heard another version which is China attacked because it need to kill some "traitors"

huaqing SG

What will happen if there is a war between Mainland China and Taiwan?

Who will attack who first?

Will USA ans Japan interfere?

Who will win?

How many days will it take for People's Liberation Army to occupy the whole Taiwan?

What will be the whole scenario?

What do you think? Very Happy

Mind to share?

UandMe SG

probably China will attack first… why would Taiwan strike first?

alwaysdisturbed SG

i tink it will b a tough fight...but eventually...taiwan will go dwn...

taiwan's military to me seems to b always on alert...

wonder wat will happen to jacky wu....

MobyDog SG

I will suspect US will be clapping with joy.. arms sales and clamp the “China Rising” Question. The US propaganda media machinery will be at over-drive, sauntions…. sauntions … evil regime … and so on. Not hard to imagine..

kaka_22 SG

War happen is one thing, the other is weather china would use its nuclear weapons in another..... Rolling Eyes

UandMe SG

nuclear? not very possible in such a case rite... Taiwan would be a piece of radiation wasteland, how to take back?

When China strikes , It will only be a matter of time before USA and Japan falls.

That means , about 100 years from now.

SMAPLionHeart SG

F-16 A/B are no match for SU-30 with rumoured israel avionics
i think China will ally with North Korea
N. korea will attack s.korea
Japan will be bombed but not occupied , maybe a 2nd battle in the pacific , but the Chinese fleet may emerge victorious.

We're only seeing stage 1 of what 1.3 billion people country can do.
and we've only seen stage 10 of what 300 million people country can do..

i wonder who is brave enough to stand in China's way?

China wouldn't strike Singapore unless we stand in their way , but it may have some axe to grind with old foes......... Twisted Evil

After all , the first China - Japanese war started over 700 years ago when China sent ships to invade Japan...

hisoka SG

if that happens hope the other countries kill off china so that they wont be a threat to us anymore

SMAPLionHeart SG

[*]China won't , when they start killing off the biggest possible threats , their force will be weak enough for us to destroy

[*]Assuming that their forces expand , our forces also expand...
And there's no motivation to travel hundreds of km south just to conquer a country without natural resources.

[*]100 years later , China would have perfected their amphibious landing skills ,
Japanese army with their tame & humanitarian few hundred thousand troops
can do what ?

[*]China's weapons may have QC problems , but their ammo is cheap and life is expendable.Japanese population is declining and the economy isn't as robust as before ; Chinese population are on the opposite side

hisoka SG

they might if taiwan decides to proclaim independence more. they have some problems with that for some reason i cannot grasp properly..........

storywolf SG

What you say is correct we be seening what 1.3 billion can do. But the scenrio may be very different from what you are saying.

1st China don't have a credible fleet for a cross-strait landed operation. 2nd if they do , they will be a high price to pay. You must consider what will happen inside china 1st .

At first people will support the war, but as casualties mount , and you must consider the whole country workers come to a standstill due to stopage of trade . Imagine out of that 1.3 billion folk how many factory workers. Factory don't start work, shipment of goods oversea stop, equal no money, no food . 3 mths down the road, you have 0.2 billion angry folks, hungry folks that will slowly turn against the government in china for a stupid war. The war may be lost at home.

War between PRC and Taiwan is very unlikely in the near future. This is because there is growing social instability in China due to large gap between the poor and the rich. The rich mainly from the coastal cities are very rich while the poor mainly from the inland regions are very poor. Economic sanctions are very likely to be imposed on PRC by USA so out of desperation these poor peasants will cause civil unrest and even rise in revolt. There are already many civil unrests lately due to corruption in the provinces. The Communist Party will never let their grip on power slip away from them. Very Happy

Fatum SG

so what's the best way to divert domestic discontent ? ....

by focusing it on perceived "external foes" of course ....

A prosperous China makes me sleep better at night than one weak and rife with domestic social instability ... Confused

Just my 2 cents. If there is a war, it is likely to be start by China. Look at the way they run their country, Internet things also censor here censor there.

I think US will help abit, not alot as war is costly to them. I don't think US can help everybody, besides, China is not a small country like Iraq.

In a war, nobody really wins I think. There will be many casaulties.

It will take at least months for the war to end, Taiwan is no pushover either. They have good secret technologies I am sure. I believe China have sent spies to do some recon first in Taiwan, know the enemy know yourself. In fact, China seems to send spies everywhere, even to US.

I think if there is a war breaking out, it's not good to alot of countries. Worse case, there may be world war 3 when countries starts to side with one or the other.

Reunification of China n taiwan, peacefully seems to be something that will happen in the future IF taiwan doesn't try to declare independence.

Should Taiwan try to do that, then China will no doubt take military action.

The outcome of the confrontation will definitely be a lose-lose situation from the taiwanese - chinese perspective. It might be a win- situation for the USA though. Such a confrontation would no doubt set China back economically. And Taiwan will no doubt continue to remain under American influence.

If there is a war? Well, our businesses in China would definitely be affected... most probably negatively. Its bad for Singapore too.

StMichael SG

I know I’ll be in BIG trouble as Taiwanese missiles are definitely aimed at the city which I’m residing – which also happens to provide 30% of all Chinese taxes.

Obersturmfuhrer SG

You think there's a script for war without pissing somebody off? Follow the rules and nobody gets hurt? Yes, innocent people die. Innocent people always die. But I will not see another or my marine die just so that I have to live with those f**kin' rules!

Sounds like the american way.

Not true history has shown otherwise, nationalism steps in and the "external foes" factored up.

My opinion is as long as the US don't meddle China business.. nothing will happen. US has the habit of screwing up other peoples lives. What they tends to manufacture up troubles.

If you google " CIA Exploits" and " John Stockwell ex cia" you will be angry at what the US (with Australia, British)has done to the world and 3rd world countries for the past 50 yrs. (including Indonesia). El salvador contra is the worst.
