I think that we’re in a very curious situation right now when it comes to China and Taiwan especially.

While China has effectively declared their authority over Taiwan they’re still dispute as to whether or not Taiwan is part of China or its own country.

But let me explain something that makes this even more interesting. China is on the verge of bankruptcy. Their economy is crashing like no other. They are in desperate need for money right now. Now let me ask you a question. What is the one thing that has always been reported as being a great money maker in the world of politics?

War.

I think that going to war would actually be a good thing for China right now as long as it’s a war that they know that they can win. If they can absorb Taiwan then they can absorb that economy which would help stabilize them, at least for a little while.

And to be quite honest it looks like that’s exactly what China is going to do and they’re not even trying to hide it.

A Chinese businessman who produces consumer medical equipment informed reporters last month that local authorities had required him to alter his production facilities so they could manufacture products for the military. He said that Communist Party officials were giving similar orders to other manufacturers.

Furthermore, in private, Chinese academics claim that the ongoing expulsion of foreign academics from Chinese colleges appears to be a prelude to conflicts.

The People’s Republic of China is putting forth efforts to enter a conflict and is not trying to hide it. Military officials now have more authority because to changes to the National Defense Law that went into effect on the first day of last year.

In general, the changes lessen the State Council’s influence by giving the CMC, the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party, more authority. In particular, the State Council will no longer be in charge of the People’s Liberation Army’s mobilization.

China could officially invade Taiwan at any moment and I don’t think that it will be much longer before they actually do.
