Even if the US sends say five of her supercarriers to the Taiwan Strait all at the same time to help defend Taiwan, the US still can't successfully and persistently defend the island, simply because her naval bases in Japan and in other nearby islands in the Pacific Ocean are no match for China's vast military hinterland in case of a persistent military conflict. Instead of going south-west and passing through the Taiwan Strait to help defend Taiwan, USS Ronald Reagan has lately been moving north-east, perhaps going back to Japan ! - The supercarrier knows full well that she alone would suffer a humiliating defeat if she ventures into the area near Taiwan in the coming days, especially if the battle there persists for a long time. How China will develop politically is best left to the Chinese themselves, while the West should seek to encourage dialogues and negotiations between China and Taiwan, instead of adding fuel to the fire in the name of democracy and freedom. Actions by the US that seek to bolster Taiwan in its efforts toward independence will just lead to war, and the end of Taiwan as a democracy. As long as there is a risk that China might disintegrate as a result of adopting democracy, the drive toward unity will reassert itself and lead to a centralised form of governance, or at most democratic governance among most parts of China but authoritarian rule over the parts that threaten to break away. A unified China has always been a key pillar of the Chinese identity, and it’s not just communists that hold this view, but also most Chinese before the communists won the civil war. The authors haven’t really understood that the top-down system with centralised power is what has held China together for most of its 2200 years history, and every time China disintegrates, it is reconstituted through a new dynasty. You murder color people in weak countries to get votes, not by serving your own People. That is the sad status of today's so-called "Democracy". So they need to do foreign conflict drama to get votes. They have GIVEN UP their responsibilities of governing. Because they CANNOT fix their own countries' problems. Western politicians NEED conflicts to get elected. What did Xi promise, in his own words? Why did NO ONE from the West respond to this Key Press Release? Why? Because it doesn't fit their own selfish political agenda. Get your information from the horse's mouth, not the horse's arse. But still, you'll be better informed than any of the lying "China experts". May be a bit difficult to understand if you don't know Chinese history. Did the two professors EVER read this? Or do you just read from sources that aim to incite conflict and mistrust? Use Google Translate to read it. This is a Key Press Release by Xi Jinping on October 10, 2021. Don't let America follow the path of the KMT. Use your knowledge wisely to face the elephant in the room. It takes a long time for the empire to crumble, but when it does, it crumbles quickly and can cause a lot of suffering. Rather than directing attention to foreign pretended conflicts, true Americans should pay attention to the dangers at home. But also because the US knows for sure China would only respond with drama, and sure that there is zero chance of war, because China is the sane party here. Pelosi went to Taiwan because it scores big points for her, because the Chinese just can't resist sitting idly by.
Massive irresponsible money printing (re: FOMC). Dishonest government (re: Supreme Court Justices confirmed by lying.) 3. How could the KMT fall so completely and quickly? It just "won" in WW2! What was it doing that we see another nation also on the same path today? 1.
But in 4 short years, it fled to Taiwan and took over Taiwan by launching "White Terror" against the Taiwan locals. At the end of WW2 in 1945, the KMT was in control, with support of America, better military and weapons, better resources, and a seat at the United Nations. If Professor Acemoglu studies why nations fail, I would suggest you take a look at what happened to the Nationalist Party Kuomingtang ("KMT") of China.
