Part Two of a two-part essay arguing the Taiwan question says more about the U.S. than China.
In contrast stands America’s foreign policy. A comparison of countries where the U.S. and China military intervened post-WWII is telling. Chinese troops entered Vietnam only after the U.S. began its own campaign of regime change there. China entered the Korean War only after the U.S. threatened to cross into Chinese territory. Both of these events are celebrated in the People’s Army Museum in Beijing as examples of defending the homeland’s borders.
The museum, in addition, features an American U-2 spy plane shot down over the mainland during the 1960s. The museum also has exhibits showing the U.S. purposely bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in 1999, killing three and destroying the diplomatic sanctuary. The U.S. claimed it was an accident, but history makes clear it was retaliation against an undefended target accused of spying in former Yugoslavia. How many American embassies has China bombed?
That's the thing, Mr Van Buren. The elites of this country, "want it to." They have convinced themselves that a display of American, "toughness" is all that is required, and, like Russia ,regarding Cuba, the Chinese will cave to the world's policeman. No, Taiwan is of such import to China that they WILL fight. And so a devastating war is coming.
And when American Toughness(R) gets a slap in the face, then escalate, and keep on escalatin!
I agree that the U.S. is the barking dog. Let's face it, we have an oversize military establishment which is constantly looking for new "missions" to justify their wasteful spending. All sorts of fantasies about Chinese aggression seem to be part of that, even though the reality is that China does not have a whole lot in the way of an offensive presence, nor are the incentives great, nor do they have a military with experience in war. From the Chinese perspective, why not just try to dominate economically and technologically, while the U.S. spends itself into the poor house?
Taiwan Means War Only If We Want It To
