Sino-U.S. growing tensions may jeopardize security in E. Asia in 2022

Sino vs The WORLD you mean

Forewarned is forearmed. Everybody had better arm themselves and be prepared to defend themselves.

No tension until China moves on Taiwan. Currently just hot air.

China and Taiwan have been governed separately since they split in 1949 as the result of a civil war.

This is wrong. China and Taiwan have never been governed together. Japan governed Taiwan.

The US is just scared of the rising China, which will replace the US as the world's leading economy. China has surpassed the US in several areas of technology as well. Yes, scared.

China should be fully supported against the US!

Losing Senkaku is a small price for not being occupied by US troops and being fully independent.

It's adorable, but less adorable than trusting the USA!

This is wrong. China and Taiwan have never been governed together. Japan governed Taiwan.

How about 1945 (End of WWII) to 1949? China and Taiwan under Nationalist government.

China should be fully supported against the US!

Why? How many posters here live in or want to live in China rather than the open and free nations they currently inhabit? I dont think too many at all. But people line up to live in Europe and the US and all other Western nations. They do so for the better life and more freedoms.

Nobody outside of China, not on their payroll or already an enemy of the US will be lending support to China. No reason to at all.

Losing Senkaku is a small price for not being occupied by US troops and being fully independent.

If you want to see a nation under occupation look at Tibet. No control over their land or affairs all handled by Han Chinese and China. That is occupation.

America gave back Japan to Japanese control and they have their own defense force (Tibet does not) They have no leaders living in exile (Tibet does) so the accusations of occupation are a smoke screen for the real occupiers China.

It is Chinese lies like this that grow tensions with their neighbors. Shame on China and their occupation of Tibet.
