How will we react if China attacks Taiwan?

Question

Neo -con chickenhawks are scary-they go after a country like Iraq which posed no immediate threat-had nothing to do with 9/11 etc. but when faced with a tough situation-they become the worlds biggest cowards-Kennedy stood down the Russians-I remember it was scary time-oh yea I forgot Kennedy fought for his country.

Answer 1

Waht the US,EU and NATO have all promised to do fight with Taiwan we have over 400000 troops all across Asia we would send half to help Taiwan (for those who claim were to busy in IRaq) and than there would be the EU and NATO forces witch would respond..... and the harsh economical sanctions that would be put on the Chinese...

Answer 2

Just because we say we'll help doesn't mean we'll get militarily involved dip ****. Last time I checked its possible to help people without fighting, and that's what we're doing with Georgia and Russia. We're giving aid to all the homeless civilians, and we're trying to help from a political stand point. We'd probably do the same thing if China attacks Taiwan.

Its funny how people used to say "America is always getting in people's business, what are they, the world police?" and when we aren't, they start bitching because they can't help themselves. Get one of the other 'oh so great' European countries to help out for once.

We're being smart right now you duck.

Answer 3

You lost all credibilty when you used the derogatory epithet "neo-con" to deride individuals who take the threat of terrorism seriously.  You are the true coward.

Answer 4

U.S, is so bogged down in Iraq

I don't think there is anything that could be done

Bush and his cronies have seriously deflated any influence the U.S. has on the world stage

very sad when you think about it

Answer 5

Honestly, right after US late entry into WWII, US has been involved in every war and lost almost half of them and killing so many innocent civilians than they save. US also separated so many asian countries in half, dividing them, Now, US wants to seprate Ossetia from Russia and Tibet from China. It seems like US has a secret agenda. If China attack Taiwan, I know that would be the fall of US and starting point of WW3. Nuke wars anyone? NATO? US wont do anything w/o other countries backing up. NATO would be disbanded and WEST and EAST organizations would be formed

Answer 6

The US is OBLIGATED to defend Taiwan. Here's why:

When Japan, which was the last legal owner of Taiwan, ceded Taiwan in the San Francisco Peace Treaty in 1952, it did not name any recipient. But it did name the primary occupying power. That was the USA.

The USA relegated the occupation to the ROC (the nationalist Chinese under Chiank Kai Shek) When the ROC lost the war to the Communist Chinese, they became a government in exile on Taiwan. They are still there and they are still acting as the agent of the USA in occupying Taiwan.

The ROC is not the legitimate government of Taiwan. They are merely acting as an occupier. The ROC is a government without a country which is occupying Taiwan, a country without a government!

That is why the USA is against the ROC joining the UN.

The US still holds the rights to the territory of Taiwan. So if China attacks Taiwan, they are more-or-less directly attacking the USA.

They are not yet strong enough to take on the USA toe-to-toe. But they are getting stronger by the day.  

Answer 7

Another poster was correct in that your question has no credibility as your hidden agenda with the rest of your question has shown your true colors which are yellow and shades of yellow.

Yes Iraq did pose a serious problem and weapons of mass destruction were found which the second CIA report said. Further, the yellow cake uranium was just shipped out of there and back to the US.

Further, we will not do much if China attacks Taiwan period. We have armed Taiwan with many missiles and hardware to were we will have to see if they want to be in fact Chinese or non-Chinese themselves.  

Answer 8

Well, we do have a treaty to come to Taiwan's aid should anything happen.  I am sure China has been observing the situation with Russian and Georgia with great interest to see what we would do.  So, we sent AID.  Oh, big bad US!  We are weak right now being in IRAQ.  So, if they were to attack Taiwan today, we might sit it out....lots of bad stuff happening in the world right now.  It looks like WWIII could be set of with a very small spark...so many volatile places right now...Russia, China, Iran and Israel, Oil, etc.
