I appreciate Mr. Pottinger’s knowledge and comments of the strategic significance of Taiwan. Blessings from Formosa🎉
I am Taiwanese and your listener as well. I 'm so glad that you made pertinent conversation and opinions in terms of Taiwan. If you'd like to visit here, I, as a Taiwanese, hope you can enjoy here sincerely.
Actually, Taiwai designing chips ability also is acount of 20% in the world
Taiwan is an Awesome place. 台灣好厲害.
Taiwan people are real Chinese culture. China is not Chinese now.
Recommend people visit.
*total land area of Taiwan is 36,197km^2 per wiki..
* NJ is about 1.9 times smaller than Taiwan - not as small as CT 😂
--> thank you for having and sharing this conversation about Taiwan!
It seems that he emphasizes on points Geography and Economy the most.
**Geography:**
"It's like the size of Connecticut and it's a small, amazing geography. Very mountainous. The tallest mountain in East Asia is not Mount Fuji. It is actually Yushan Jade Mountain in Taiwan."
**Economy:**
"Taiwan produces 92% of the advanced semiconductors in the world. 92%. That's wild."
If I remember in your book 4HWW, you lived in Taiwan for a bit.
CCP can control Tiktok, but cannot control TimTalk.
Only the Beltway can control TimTalk. He is completely free to parrot their views.
thanks!
That title surprised me.😂
I bet CCP isn't happy with Tim Tim Talk Talk.
Who cares about what the CCP thinks, right?!
We’re all in our free countries, so we all have the freedom of speech and freedom of press, except for the people in China and other communist countries.
What people doesn‘t seem to understand is, that despite economic and geopolitical incentives, the incorporation of Taiwan into China has always been THE goal/vision, with the Chinese national identity and pride being attached to that. Xi Jingping‘s legacy depends on materializing this vision. He‘s likely to be perceived as failure, if he doesn‘t pull that off or even tries to….(that take isn’t my expertise, but one from a befriended researcher in sinology) …and it worries me.
it's very dangerous
The old cold war mentality
This makes perfect sense only if you completely ignore the actual situation in modern mainland China.
Yet another “We need to save democracy for the world” moment for America.
The Empire in business as usual mode.
"Let me explain why we should invest in a military takeover of another country and call it 'democracy.'"
Again
Time to bring chip manufacturing back to America. And quick!
Domino theory?? Really?? I thought that had been shown to be bullshit after Vietnam.
This propaganda was brought to you by Lockheed-Martin.
It doesn’t.
This just felt like listening to a pure propaganda piece.
Taiwan bribes countries and politicians to be on their side. But these countries would actually have better social economic development by trading with China, than protecting Taiwan who practically already has it all, except for their abstract freedom. Meanwhile, those other countries of dozens of millions of people still suffer from hunger, poor health, violence, non existent institutions, corruption, unemployment, etc. If you do a cost benefit analysis, reality is that these countries that defend Taiwan are in fact keeping their own people in the third world for the benefit of a small country who has what those other populations only dream of. But the US has a foot on top of them, so they're not really free either.
Taiwan’s status as an independent and sovereign nation is supported by historical facts, legal standing, and the democratic will of its people. Efforts to paint Taiwan as merely a province of China are not only factually incorrect but also undermine the principles of freedom and self-governance. It is crucial to challenge these narratives with truth and to stand in solidarity with Taiwan’s right to determine its own future.
@@Enjubi I agree. But meanwhile my country gets bribes from Taiwan, to keep us from trading with China, which keeps us as an underdeveloped country with millions of people in abject poverty. We have to stay poor so they can be free. How is that fair?
@aalucyaf-zp5ut, you Chinese shills always lie about everything. Your country bride world leaders to usurp their democracy as well as their wealth. Every country that your infiltrate all ended up falling into poverty and a debt burden that will never be paid off.
No it doesnt
