Yes, this is the reality of politics, lines on maps aren’t realities on the ground. That goes both ways
I haven’t read Gordon chang, but I think the demographics situation of China will reduce growth and see a decline in China. I don’t think that’s a controversial thing to say in a geopolitical context, what about it do you disagree with?
Yes, in all of the places that the United States has allies. That is an inherent backing but I think the people there are the main thing keeping the current political groups in power in those countries. If China, for instance, believed they wouldn’t need to violently overthrow the current rulers of Taiwan and the people backing them they could just go there and assume control bloodlessly. I think they don’t because they fear the Taiwanese people acting to stop them to maintain the current political reality of the island. It’s not Americans that woild act to stop landings, it’s Taiwanese people.
