Taiwan condemns China military drills as 'irrational provocations' | BBC News

If the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were to invade Taiwan, there would be many similarities to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. These similarities can be analyzed in terms of motives, methods, international reactions, and impacts on both internal and external fronts.

Motives
Geopolitical Ambitions and Territorial Desires:

CCP: Views Taiwan as an "inseparable part" of China, emphasizing that "reunification" is a core interest and an essential part of realizing the Chinese Dream and national rejuvenation.
Russia: The Putin administration views Ukraine as a traditional sphere of influence and aims to restore the influence lost after the collapse of the Soviet Union, particularly preventing Ukraine from joining NATO and the EU.
Maintaining Regime Legitimacy:

CCP: Sees the "reunification" of Taiwan as a means to strengthen the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party, especially amidst economic challenges and social contradictions domestically.
Russia: The Putin administration uses nationalism and anti-Western sentiments to consolidate domestic support and maintain regime stability.
Methods
Military Action:

CCP: Might employ comprehensive military actions, including amphibious landings, missile attacks, and cyber warfare, to swiftly control key areas and facilities in Taiwan.
Russia: Utilized ground forces, air strikes, missile attacks, and cyber warfare during its invasion of Ukraine, aiming to rapidly capture Kyiv and other strategic locations.
Information Warfare and Propaganda:

CCP: Utilizes media, social networks, and cyber attacks to conduct propaganda and information warfare, creating division, chaos, and panic, weakening Taiwan's internal cohesion.
Russia: Conducted large-scale propaganda, fake news, and cyber attacks to divide Ukrainian society and undermine international support for Ukraine.
Economic Warfare and Blockades:

CCP: Might impose economic blockades on Taiwan, cutting off trade and supply chains, forcing Taiwan to capitulate.
Russia: Used energy resources as a weapon post-invasion to exert economic pressure on European countries, attempting to weaken their support for Ukraine.
International Reaction
Western Countries' Reaction:

CCP: Should the CCP invade Taiwan, the United States, Japan, and other democratic countries might respond swiftly with economic sanctions, military support, and diplomatic condemnation.
Russia: Following the invasion of Ukraine, Western countries imposed severe economic sanctions on Russia and provided substantial military aid to Ukraine.
Role of International Organizations:

CCP: The United Nations and other international organizations might convene emergency meetings to condemn the CCP’s actions, but practical measures could be limited due to the CCP's veto power in the UN Security Council.
Russia: The UN has repeatedly condemned Russia's aggression, but Russia's veto power has prevented the Security Council from taking more robust actions.
Internal Impacts
Nationalist Sentiments:

CCP: Leverages nationalist sentiments to rally domestic support for actions against Taiwan, maintaining internal stability and regime legitimacy.
Russia: Putin capitalized on nationalism and anti-Western sentiments to solidify his support base and sustain internal stability.
Economic Impact:

CCP: Prolonged military actions could significantly impact China’s economy, especially in the face of international sanctions and trade disruptions.
Russia: The invasion of Ukraine resulted in severe economic sanctions on Russia, affecting its economic development and livelihood.
External Impacts
Regional Security:

CCP: An invasion of Taiwan could trigger military conflicts in the Asia-Pacific region, potentially leading to direct confrontation between China and the United States, posing a significant threat to regional security.
Russia: The invasion of Ukraine severely deteriorated the security situation in Europe, with NATO enhancing defense capabilities in Eastern Europe, escalating regional tensions.
Global Order:

CCP: Challenges the rules-based international order, posing a threat to global peace and stability.
Russia: The invasion of Ukraine is seen as a major challenge to the post-World War II international order, prompting global attention to international law and sovereignty principles.
Conclusion
There are numerous similarities between a potential CCP invasion of Taiwan and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. These similarities reflect commonalities in geopolitical ambitions, military strategies, and international impacts. Such actions not only pose direct threats to the targeted countries but also challenge regional and global security and stability. Effectively responding to these threats requires concerted efforts and cooperation from the international community.

Bbc and Wikipedia is left wing propaganda machine

중국은 즉시 타이완에 군대를 파견하여 치안을 유지해라. 하나의 중국에 의하여 엄연히 중국의 영토이다

Where does the BBC get these drop kicks that do China commentary.

Imagine if the US confederacy retreated to an island like Hawaii or something and declared themselves a new state over there. You think the US would just say "ok" ?

Ya sure, the new president not smart, looking for trouble with neighbor while war in ukraine and middle East still not even close to end. Even american doesn't wanna help ukraine directly, do you think they will do different for taiwan?

BBC的新闻有70%都是假新闻

Practice makes perfect!!!

If China war Taiwan lots of refugees go to Canada

Yeah, lessons well learned, autrocratic leaders are one of the worst liars, look at Napoleon, Hitler or
Putin etc., they all denied invading other nations, you know how it all ends.

The Usual grey filter when it comes to china😂

Chinese bots are here in force.

Taiwan can have one country, two system rule, just like Hong Kong. China is promising Taiwan to keep its Democracy. China kept its promise to Hong Kong. So you can trust China.

The Lai Chin De government is not the Taiwanese government ;they are the Republic of China in exile government .The real Taiwanese government is called Taiwan civil government ,which haven't yet govern Taiwan so long as the Republic of China in exile government occupy Taiwan.

There seems to be a deep insecurity in thr heart if China. Sad. Very sad.

Yes

American and Europeans created china became powerful! Now china giving shit back to Europeans and Americans!

Clear indication that China is expressing its power through intimidation. We need to keep an eye on China, they act like they dont know what's going on in the world, but trust me they do. That country STILL has relations with North Korea and Kim Jon Un, so what makes you think they are trustworthy ??? China almost every day gets accused by its citizens for Cyber Espionage and Hacking. WAKE UP PPL

Again Taiwan isnt classed a country worldwide..... including by the UK

China cannot do anything they are scared and worried of the consequences like Russia

hgtywdfx,sk

China will not need to do anything.
The BBC doesn't show the 10s of thousands of protesters in Taiwan against the separatists.
183 nations acknowledge Taiwan is part of China including the UN.

USA try to spread war in Southeast Asia 😂

China has no match against Taiwan.... China are not warriors, they only showing up and pretend as a powerful, but it's not.... India are the most dangerous, they brave, strong ,wise and intelligent!

Why do people have a problem with America and Hawaii?

Leave Taiwan alone

ccp paper dragon only barks but no bite

what is Taiwan? what is the name of animal waste? 🤔

Brit here watching all this from Shanghai.

Winnie Xi and his tiny eyes tribe men strikes again!

臺灣跟日本 要發展核子武器嚇阻中國 發動戰爭！

Chinese People's Oppressionist Army intimidates Taiwanese liberty. 😢

Why is the U.S. government so domineering?

No worries, we don't attack the ordinary people as we are one family and we don't destroy the island as it is part of our home so we are just doing something to get the home reunited and become one entire home no longer one room outside that's it. So this is not a invasion but a process of reunion. We are efficient and this can be done within one month, so no worries.

Again CCP tries to intimidate another free and democratic country Taiwan. World needs to stands up against forces of evil in Chinese government

If the war breaks, we all know this war is caused by the United Evil States of America. BBC is paid by U(E)SA, thus this news is a propaganda.

Leave India alone .✌️

Is this any different to the eu running drills near russia ffs usual double stsndard propaganda

North Korea has been saying US exercise is a pretense
BUT
US says its "routine exercise"....

chinese bots and their limp d*cks

The current Taiwanese ruling party DPP is really a shame for Taiwan people. Faking news, making fake accusations, twist the truth by cutting the videos and pictures to frame TPP & KMT parties. Provoking a bunch of ignorants to go on the street in order to not pass 5 reforms which will make the legislative decision more rigid and correct. These 5 reforms are based on the reform requests made by DPP 8 years ago before they took the power from KMT but once they got the power immediately forgot their promises till now. The reforms made by TPP & KMT are not much different from DPP’s. They are just helping DPP to realize the promises they don’t want to carry out because the reforms will keep DPP from corruption, stealing from the people and messing up the order of the country. Stop believing in DPP’s lies!!

The West are mentallly preparing its citizens to be anti.....let you fill in the last word.

The Asian power and the economy will develop this generation.. That's why the western countries are trying to start those wars... Remember that America is behind all these wars. America does not expect to see the Asian economy and power grow, and America thinks that history still reigns. Russia's return to power is the biggest problem in the West... Russia, China and many Asian and Middle Eastern countries are trying to develop their technologies. That is the truth.

Is BBC looking at its own country UK? Conquered without a War! Brilliant!

In fact, most Taiwanese want to maintain the status quo and think of themselves as Chinese.

Kina treba uništiti separatiste✅

Fun Fact: China and Taiwan is still at Chinese civil war. Taiwan’s official national name is “Republic of China”
