- How will China respond if the US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan this week, and could Taiwan be the next Ukraine if Xi Jinping decides to invade the country?
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Taiwan, on the face of it, appears just like Ukraine. A nation constantly under the threat of a much larger power, with an invasion always at the back of its mind.
Any future conflict would engulf the two great superpowers of this century, the US and China.
In today’s episode of the Fourcast, our International editor Lindsey Hilsum puts the current flare up into context as geopolitics comes to terms with a future where Beijing is King.

Lindsey Hilsum just gets better and better. We do not see enough of her. One of the best no-nonsense War Correspondents in the business. Always on track, very knowledgeable and speaks with complete clarity. (Note this Channel 4). A Brilliant rendition of what's going on in that part of the world. After the Ukraine, I have always said, China invading Taiwan - could be the next trigger to WW3.

China don't have any real battle experience so a battle and victory casting America out of Taiwan would be a great success.

She mentioned China could blockade Taiwan as a mean to force the small nation to its knee. I wonder how Japan would react to the blockade scenario? The Taiwan Straits is the life line for Japan which suffered in WWII from the blockade by the US. Does she think Japan would sit on the sideline if China really blocks the Taiwan Straits?

China doesn't have superior AI. They have integrated a lot of AI in society, but they aren't better.
@Yarxk A) I work for an AI company. B) There are indeed smart authors with Chinese names, but are you suggesting that if an author has a Chinese name, they likely live in China or work for a Chinese company? C) The most important papers are from a variety of cultural backgrounds. If you really look into where advanced AI is coming from, you'll see reasonable data on the subject and a lot of talk from Chinese propaganda. D) As a final thought, the Chinese people have unlimited potential--just like everyone else. But you've gotta change your govt institutions. The way things are, if you say something wrong, they could make you disappear, and if you work for an AI company, you are giving them more tools every year to continue.
Hello wumao 👋

Not much is written about the closing days of the Chinese civil war and the battle of the Taiwan Strait which resulted in an air battle that saw the first use of the MiG15 jet and the first use of the Sidewinder missile. This 1958 battle resulted in a 50 to one kill ratio for the Nationalist air force and the reason Taiwan remains free to this day.
We need to make sure Taiwan is a fortress.
We? You mean warmongers like yourself. The rest of the world don't care about Taiwan. It's China's problem.
It will take four hours to completely conquer this fortress
@@hostlog3178 Dribbler
1958 to 2022, huge shift in military capability, if PRC wanted to roll over ROC then I think it will be relatively straightforward. I believe PRC will use sanctions and blockade, they will use economic pressures to diminish and destroy ROC. I don’t think PRC will rush into military conflict immediately
She is an expert. She's one of the best generalists imo.
more of these shows please. the lady is very good
During the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996, the United States sent two aircraft carriers into the Taiwan Strait to deter China. In 2022, when China completely blocked Taiwan, the US aircraft carrier ran thousands of kilometers away, National strength determined everything.

Thank you Channel 4 for this reflection, there is the relevance of microchip production in Taiwan. Not just for general public use but in military

Depending on the West is dangerous because there is always a price to pay. Europeans wont be able to tell a Chinese from a Taiwanese so if war breaks out racism will be felt by both peoples
Taiwanese and Chinese are not different ethnically or culturally. Similar to Koreans and 1960’s Vietnamese, they are the same people separated by two governments.
I can tell you that from living in Taipei right now, the Taiwanese are not scared. Life is normal here.
Please explain why some Taiwanese politicians are against the visit

Will they call it a "special reunification mission"?!
No. Reunification of China has been done already after the WWII. It is new war against foreign (west-) intervention.
Of course it will be
Muricans would probably call that way. lol
taiwan belongs to china the civil war never ended cuz they never gave up
No it will be called defence of there Chinese land.
Brilliantly clear explanatory background from Lindsey Hilsum to effects the current Ukraine situation and happenings may be having on the current thinking of the Chinese government in regard to the Taiwan situation. Clear, but terribly frightening and if ever diplomacy had a key place in great powers strategy, it should be employed to its fullest now.

And it would need to be a MASSIVE force. It’s impossible. China could destroy Taiwan, they can’t invade it.

Declining power? Please China is a paper tiger. Whatever you might think of US it's military has been fighting for 20 years. Operating actual combat missions and logistics. What's interesting about her opinion is she thinks Trump was a belligerent fool with china. He's an idiot for sure. But his foreign policy wasn't personal. China understood that it was transactional. The Taiwan issue is personal and that's a big difference. When she talks about Russia invading Ukraine and China invading Taiwan a being similar it's not. Taiwan has been planning for the day for 50+ years. I can't imagine the missile systems they've got. I bet they have every weapon system Isreal has. They have the advantage of only being invaded over water on one front. There surround by huge mountains and jungle that would make military logistics impossible for china. The estimates for Chinese causalities is over 250,000 just to land and control a beach head.
No they don't. US does not trust them with advanced weapon. Too many Chinese spies in Taiwan.
China will probably carpet bomb them they will surrender end of the day and unlike ukraine if there is an invasion no country will be able to supply anything to them, so there no safe corridors for them, also unlike Russia China is much more advanced in all areas, soon or later china will take Taiwan even if that means end of its rise, you need to understand Chinese culture, its like Muslims who will fight for thier religion no matter how weak they are.. China has tight grip on its people unlike Russia so Americans won't be meddling in its internal affairs, its a shame realy but china is getting stronger because of us we have become materialistic and want everything cheap.
Very knowledgeable lady brilliant could listen to her all day.
Any invasion / blockade will become a lose-lose situation to both China and Taiwan. On top of that the end result would not change. Taiwan will remain an independent country.
There world would have no reason to exist, if we do not unify. End of story.
Even your own country doesn't see taiwan as independent.. lol
How? They have everything, and they can get anything the need, do you think the west gonna do a blockade against them? Hhaha

Good interview.
Great podcast episode.
Weakness can be a matter of perception. Some countries have the capability by design and resources to tend to several theaters of war. And. They can do it surprisingly well.
Don't worry, the illuminati is creating chaos and fear so that the coming world leader (Antichrist, 666!) can restore order out of chaos and the people will love him. Please don't be deceived!
We are living in the E N D times, the 7year Tribulation with the world leader (Antichrist, 666) is right around the corner, that's GOD'S judgement upon all unbelievers! But there is hope - get saved and be rapture ready: accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Savior today!!! JESUS is GOD, see John 1!
Please study biblical end times prophecy; listen to Dr. Ron Rhodes nd Dr. John Ankerberg on end times chronology.
Blessings from AB
Bet her arm is aching.
Don’t worry, China can’t afford with US.. this year China is weak
We might be weaker than US in many fields. But, that doesn’t mean they can do whatever they want to us. Taiwan has always been our red line for decades. If they want a war, so be it.
@@zimyang4852 big talk, nothing to do, typical red China
Oh！You are saying that you are weaker and so that you deserve being bullied by an asshole.
China is in decline. The only reason the US is committed to defending Taiwan is due to the semiconductor industry - otherwise let the Chinese weaken themselves even further by invading Taiwan.
It’ll be a long, brutal war and the Chinese will lose many young men they can’t afford to replace. China will continue to shrink whether they invade Taiwan or not
The real estate bubble in China has burst. Their economy is now in deep trouble.
Excellent
Blockade LOL, notwithstanding the hapless US Navy has a bad habit of running into ships and running aground, US submarines still should be able to take control of the straits in quick order and kill those noisy Chinese submarines in particular. In the middle of the ocean no one can hear you scream...
a full on invasion would be suicide for China in blood and economic costs. Much more worried about a naval or air blockade, would Japan and US help to break it?
Yes they would. Like Ukraine they need to keep Taiwan in the game. All the while the Taiwanese are prepared to fight - and do fight the west will help her
@@Andy-P Its not at all like Ukraine. Taiwan is a strategic asset, literally for the whole world.
@@RandoBurner Agreed
China will quickly find out just how difficult it is to invade an island.
Ukraine has many borders where they get shipments of weapons ect that won't be the case if china invades the island, they will have a blockade and your saying china can't afford it well whoever will have a war with China will also be going back 100 years as they will not recover too from such a war even if no nukes are used

How could they compare Taiwan troubles to Ukraine troubles?
According to PLA generals who complained to Xi Jiping, that lots of PLA soldiers are mommy boys because of one child policy so they live pampered lives
PLA generals told you that?
In 1949, Taiwan being a Japanese territory, was under Western occupation. The KMT refugees would have been subordinate to American and Australian generals.
What about Scottish independence? No they love England
No way
China’s economy appear raving mad to me.
A rather low quality discussion to my mind. Not worth my time.
I was born and raised in Taiwan and I am 74 years old. As far as I remember there is not even “one second” China has governed and ruled Taiwan. Taiwan accepts there is one China and only one, but don’t forget there is only one Taiwan too. Taiwanese revised constitution describes its territory is Taiwan island and few small islands. China is trying to invade and occupy Taiwan. It is no unification whatsoever. It is just like Russia invades Ukraine for some “historical” nostalgia.
Time for Taiwan not to accept 'One China '.
Russia didn't invade for historical nostalgia, Russia invaded because the US started a civil war in Ukraine and the Ukrainian government started attacking ethnic Russians and the US goal is to do the same thing in Taiwan. These very same media people watched Ukrainians getting killed and said nothing till Russia got involved and they will do the same thing with Taiwan. The US goal is not to keep Taiwan peaceful it's to start a civil war in Taiwan as a containment strategy for China, they've said so any Taiwanese should be running from the Americans.
@@SThrillz, absolutely rubbish

How could weapons from West or western voluntary enter into the Taiwan by sea or airplane ?
The problem is actually China is the country in decline.
1. Demographic crisis caused by the one child policy which started in the 1980s.
2. Economic crisis due to collapsing real estate which affects 25% of China's economy and manufacturing moving out of China which affects the other 25% of their economy.
Both crisis are created over 3 to 4 decades and will not be able to be solved anytime soon.
Now Chinese leaders is faced with the "now or never" decision to invade Taiwan since they will only grow weaker going forward.

How ironic now it is my turn. Why can’t American politicians leave people alone? Afghanistan, Ukraine and now Taiwan! Can’t you see a pattern?

Taiwan never succeeded from China, in fact they had intention of invading China.
But over the years both country went along their business. Eventually China became strong.

baggage handlers strike
Taïwan 🇹🇼 will not be new Ukraine for simple reason that American proxy war is with intention to make Russia & EU countries economically weak but the result is that Russia is resisting & doing better economically than before the invasion of of Ukraine 🇺🇦 where as American allies are on the brink of recension, UK is in bad situation.
The USA is very funny, he clearly does double standards for the separatists in Luhansk and Donetsk who want to separate from Russia, they reject it, but for the separatist government in Taiwan, which wants to separate from China, it is supported, which is actually contrary to what he himself said, namely agreeing to the one China policy. When viewed from a geopolitical perspective, China really upholds the wisdom of becoming the strongest new superpower in Asia by taking responsibility for how it plays a role in setting an example for other superpowers such as the USA, whether to use violence immediately, which means military operations or not. other options need to be kept in mind that china is even economically far ahead of russia so if china really wants to invade taiwan it might be very easy for him like russia did to ukraine but china chooses another option which is possible from china's perspective if he declares war now then it is certain that inflation will also soar along with the price of food needs and their derivatives to various countries in the world because I still remember that Russia is very strong in its influence in the energy sector such as natural gas, they have money, so that it makes supply chains in European countries all shout it's the effect of secular countries. As Russia, if it has used its economic power and felt the impact on European countries, which actually need Russia's presence, especially if we compare China's economic influence in the world, it clearly far exceeds Russia's, because maybe in seconds China will decide whether this should be with the option of military aggression against Russia. Taiwan, do you see the impact after using this option, I think President Xi Jinping has received a lot of input from his advisers to be more concerned with the global impact that will arise if China conducts military aggression against Taiwan now? For me it is not surprising for Pelosi to insist on a provocative visit to Taiwan because the whole world already knows America's character, namely "WHERE THERE IS WAR THERE IS AMERICA" because it is a fact that almost 60% of America's GDP is donated from their arms sales sector, that's why America will quite happy if there are other clown countries like Ukraine to want to be sacrificed as America's battlefield even though in the Ukraine war it is clear that America's role does not match the reality, America only looks firm at the beginning but when the war broke out from Russia America's actions were only limited to sending weapons, this is very funny because I actually feel sorry for the people of Ukraine because of their president comedy policy to enter Nato which was provoked by America they are now a country that will disappear from the map I hope Taiwan does not follow in the footsteps of a clown country like Ukraine.
UKRAINE Are not weak
Taiwan deserves our full support. I've been in Taipei and traveled around - no different from any European country. A country of more than 20 million who has run their country for 70y and don't want the same fate as Hong Kong! How could we possibly look ourselves in the mirror if we let China swallow their future?
Why is that your fucking business?
Educate yourself and do a research: how many countries recognise Taiwan as an independent country? Even US officially have to agree Taiwan is part of China. USA stopped the official relationship with Taiwan in 1979 and established relationship with PRC and recognise PRC as the only China - is this USA’s “support” to Taiwan? 😂
@lubensky Very well said!!!
That was a great insight into the Taiwanese situation with China and America, but where Taiwanese go from here sounds very shaky and the way she said the Taiwanese would get crushed like tectonic plates between America and China is a horrible thought?
It is rather trivial here but I do feel inclined to remark on the use of ‘you know…..you know’ so frequently used by these interviewees. I find it annoying and distracting.

What if Vladimir Putin sent Sergey Lavrov to Hawaii to urge the Hawaiian government that the Hawaiian people have the right to be free and that they need to be freed from the U.S.A. yoke and brought them weapon' contracts to achieve that purpose and even if the U.S.A. government announces that it prohibits entry to Hawaii?
what the Americans should be doing is mirroring Taiwan industry in a new city state in America called new Taiwan.. and then when the time comes... give them US citizenship and semi autonomy within that territory... whilst at the same time drawing a tough line by strengthening other nato members militaries and making nuclear deterrent available... to include Japan and Australia additionally. As for Taiwan... its just a matter of time... it cannot be defended forever ; its too close to china. Promise Taiwan citizens a safe democratic zone with internal self-governance in the US... move the business/skills... if necessary let China have Taiwan... but form a strong defensive line in the pacific with Japan, SK, Australia. Or do nothing... end up losing all Taiwan business to china... end up with a big war in the pacific.. the other option is to cut off china economically... and cripple its economy so it cannot win an arms race.. which will also badly hurt the west ; but in the absence of that action, then its a given that Chinese naval assets will just grow until they can more than contest that region close to their own country .... against US/western forces... so really.. this is delaying the inevitable .... the west decided to invest heavily in a militaristic territorially expansive dictatorship... so this is the result..
The comical lines of soliders of well autographed show's of the Chinese army in parades is just so GOOD for the world to see, however, let’s all remember that the Moguls came and destroyed China in mid-15th Century, later the English came with just several gun boats and stopped the great Chinese army then the Japanese Armey came and committed great damage and war crimes, and also destroyed China.
Now that China has earned a few dollars and think that money can buy all and such said, however sorry, they can never stand up to any modern 1st world army in battle, this is simple fact, just like anything you buy made in China, its broken in second use and is just rubbish, same for this mighty Chinese Army, use one time then broken and sent to the rubbish bin,,,,,,
