What is Beijing’s thought process behind the annexation of Taiwan? In what scenario do they think this would play out well for them?
Even in a best case scenario where they invade and America and nato doesn’t retaliate militarily. They most definitely will respond with extreme sanctions and saber rattling hurting chinas global image and economy. Beyond this Taiwan has a strong national identity and the people are fiercely proud of their country and democracy and perceive China as the ultimate enemy. Does Beijing not realize the folly of occupying a nation full of a motivated nationalistic populace who will surely wage an endless guerrilla insurgency and sabotage campaign against them?
Seems like a disastrous decision put all of China’s chips on this little island that offers a moderate military advantage in the pacific but little else

name one (1) war the Chinese have won

how legit is it? plan on making explosives, but don't exactly want to darwin myself out of existence.

>decide to /prep/ following shortages
>buy 30,000 calories worth of black beans
How unhealthy would it be to eat nothing but black beans for a month?
