China: We'll Use Force To 'Absorb' Taiwan If Necessary
2019-01-04
[Hot Air] 2019 is shaping up to be the year of Chinese aggression and challenges to the west. On the technological front, they just landed a spacecraft on the dark side of the moon. Far more troubling is the increasing level of military saber-rattling going on. After launching their first domestically constructed aircraft carrier, one of their admirals suggest that they might sink a couple of ours. And now, renewing a diplomatic battle that’s been going on for decades, China’s president is suggesting that they will bring Taiwan back under the direct control of Beijing, even if they have to do so by force.

How'd it work out the last time an Asian power pulled that stunt?

#1  ...Well, Pelosi, Nadler, & Co. announced that they would do their best to keep the President distracted, and the media focused on "Will they impeach?". Look for the Chinese, Iranians, and Norks to think that they can get away with something.
