REPORTAGE – Will the communist empire take advantage of the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East to bring the democratic island back into its fold, willingly or by force? While counting on support from the United States, the Taiwanese are preparing.

Special envoy to Taipei (Taiwan),

After Ukraine, the victim of Russia’s imperial ambitions, will Taiwan fall prey to the Chinese dictatorship? This is the question that everyone is asking, in Taipei of course but also in Washington, Tokyo, Seoul, Berlin and Paris. The Chinese government has promised to bring the rebellious island, democratic and de facto independent but represented at the UN by the People’s Republic of China, into the fold of Beijing and the communist regime. By force if necessary, with the help of the People’s Liberation Army, the PLA, to which Beijing is devoting $225 billion in 2023, the 2nd largest military budget in the world, behind the United States. And if possible before the hundredth anniversary of the PLA, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, in 2027. In any case before the end of Xi Jinping’s reign.

Will the Chinese president-dictator take advantage of the chaos shaking Eastern Europe and the Middle East to send his troops to attack the island, taking advantage of the “distraction” represented by wars? in Ukraine and Israel for American foreign policy?
