How costly could war be for China? | DW News

defence spending is not an indicator of war. Singapore has a significant defence budget, they preach peace while being terrorists. Stop selling the US Govt talking points. Where is your coverage of the German Foreign Minister laughing with war criminal Penny Wong?

last time I checked EU does not recognize taiwan island as a country . <br>for example germany supports One-China Policy !<br>It was part of china before revolution , how could it be a separate after that ?<br>US and their controled nations must stop interfearing with other countries affairs

I see US cutting military expenditures and allowing balance to China&#39;s increases and helping to bring equalization along those two fronts which will divert attention and detailing by both superpowers to the true value of 1st world standards to the majority of the world.

Taiwan is to China what South Vietnam was to North Vietnam, what the Confederate states of the United States were to the Union. <br><br><br>China will not count or measure the cost.<br><br>Whether the war last 6 months, 6 years or 40 years. <br><br>This is not the first time China has had to successfully invade Taiwan. <br><br>In the late 1600s China had a war in Mainland China between the forces of Manchu led Qing China and Han led Ming China. <br><br>The Forces of Ming China were defeated in the Mainland and fled to Taiwan. <br><br>Qing China then launched a war that lasted 40 years with 11 different amphibious attempts that cost the lives of 500 000 to invade Taiwan people until they succeed. <br><br><br>No matter how many times they were repulsed they rebuilt their forces and came back again and again and again and again for 40 years until they eventually defeated the forces of Ming China and took Taiwan. <br><br>They were relentless. <br><br>They never stopped, for 40 years. <br><br>They fought a war that lasted 40 years until they were eventually successful. <br><br>China is a civilization state who has fought 40 year wars. CHINA has fought 500 year wars against Nomadic Horsemen from the north. <br><br>The war in the Mainland between the Communists and the Nationalists in the 20th century lasted almost 23 year from 1926 to 1949<br><br>Who wants to fight a 23 year or 40 year high intensity war with China? <br><br><br>Taiwan is an integral part of China..<br><br>If China ever goes to war over Taiwan it will mobilize all of its industrial manufacturing capacity, factories, logistics, supply chains, work force into full scale war production of Weapons and ammunition.<br><br>China will mobilize 100 million men and women into the PLA.<br><br>All of the resources of the Chinese state, plus private and infrastructure will mobilized into full scale war<br><br>China will shift its entire civilian industrial manufacturing capacity into full scale war production including its massive drone and ship building infrastructure <br><br><br>China&#39;s industrial manufacturing capacity is larger than the next 9 countries combined.<br><br>Plus China has a treaty of mutual defense with North Korea and North Korea has a treaty of mutual defense with Russia whose additional weapons manufacturing industrial manufacturing capacity would also be added to China weapons manufacturing capacity. <br><br>Taiwan is undefendable.<br><br>It imports 98% of its energy and 67% of its food from abroad.<br><br>27% of Taiwan&#39;s food comes directly from China<br><br><br>The US also depends on China for most of of the refined rare earths that it needs to manufacture its own weapons.<br><br>Without Chinese refined earths the US cannot manufacture a single missile, tank or submarine <br><br>China manufacturers 230x more shipping tonnage than the US in peace time. <br><br>40% of all semi conductors in US weapons come directly from China. <br><br>The other 60% a lot of semiconductor in US weapons come from Taiwan who will be encircled and cut off from the United States by a Chinese siege <br><br>75% of all US weapons have key components that are manufactured in China<br><br><br>Most of the precursor chemicals used to manufacture US antibiotics and generic Medicine are manufactured in China<br><br>Without China the US cannot manufacture its own weapons<br><br>The US can&#39;t even defend the Arab Gulf States from Iran.<br><br>The US had 3 millions troops over 10 Years in South Vietnam and yet they couldn&#39;t even defend South Vietnam from 13. 5 million people North Vietnam<br><br>Do you think the US will be able to defend Taiwan from China<br><br>Use your brains

Imagine if humans used all the billions and billions on building and innovations. Imagine if we used the money spent on futile wars and killing, on exploration and technologies and infrastructure etc. Its such a bewildering reality that we live in. We spend the most money and resources on our own destruction. Its such a paradox, not to mention impossible to make sense of any of it. Are we ready for war?? YES that&#39;s all we&#39;re ever ready for. The real question is... are we ready to finally become a civilized world of intelligent beings, with a real purpose. I doubt it. I think we are too unsophisticated and primitive still, to understand the benefit of a world without war.

Military spending ?<br>😜The entire high-speed rail (HSR) infrastructure network built by China is roughly equivalent to, or slightly more than, a single year of U.S. military spending, making the comparison highly accurate in scale.<br>The exact numbers reveal that while U.S. annual military outlays have crossed the $1 trillion threshold, China&#39;s multi-decade cumulative investment to build the largest high-speed rail network on Earth sits right at the $1 trillion mark.

How to block this rain(cheap rockets)? mainland China able to made million of them in a month.<br>China&#39;s long-range cheap rocket artillery—such as the PHL-03 and PHL-16 (PCH-191) multiple launch rocket systems—can cost-effectively span the Taiwan Strait to strike targets across the island.<br><br> The main island of Taiwan sits approximately 100 miles (160 km) off the coast of southeastern China across the Taiwan Strait. At its narrowest point (between Hsinchu in Taiwan and Pingtan Island in China), the distance shrinks to about 81 miles (130 km).
