    No Taiwan was never actually part of China until 1945 when the nationaists ruled the whole country and where they retreated to. China lies about Tibet being part of China, Taiwan, Mongolia, parts Of Nepal and India and of course the whole of Mt Everest, time they were called out on their outrageous territorial claims and agressive actions, well done the Indians.

    Seem a large portion of Taiwan’s history is missing. History goes back to the 19th century when the Qing dynasty ruled Formosa and had a General Governor in control. Formosa ceded to Japan in 1897 after a series of battles in the mainland. China organized a militia to resist the Japanese from occupying the island but was futile. It was until 1945 that the allies agreed to allow China to take control of Taiwan from the defeated Japanese. The nationalist army lost the civil war and found refuge in Taiwan in 1949. The Taiwan constitution recognized the one China status. Hope the information useful.

    NOW All this was deliberate, premeditated on the Chinese part.

    The Indian soldiers come down and take it out (your words). How then can this be deliberate and premeditated by the Chinese. Surely the Indian soldiers were going there for a fight and were prepared for a fight. It surprised you that the Chinese had weapons in this highly tensed border area? Be real. This is not summer camp site. The Chinese lost soldiers too. It was an unfortunate brawl. Don't try to extend that to some kind of Chinese bashing.

    You know NOT what you are talking about, and what does this have to do with extradition hearing in Vanc. Canada?

     

    Even S Korea has surpassed CN in 5G rollout/infrastructure.

     

    5G-USA~https://www.t-mobile.com/devices/5g-phones

    US has started 6G design, with deployment not before 2030.

    A matter of interest; just who in US is developing 6G. On record, I know that Hua Wei and NTT DoCoMo are developing 6G and probably Oulu in Finland. Can you name the corporation/s.

    Finally, another country willing to stand up to China.

    Not really standing up to China but India standing their ground in an ill defined inhospitable territory. Pakistan's trading route with China will be cut off if India control that territory. As we speak, both countries are attempting a rapid deescalation of tensions. Just a small brawl. No firearms were used. No need for misdirected alarm.

  5. Trump foreign policies have always been criticized for lack of a grand strategy - a coherent , long term plan. He really don’t have any strategy with his overtures to Kim. He was there for self gratification. Kim went with much expectation but now feel betrayed following the failed summits with POTUS. Kim entered those summits with an expectation of securing relief from a punishing economic sanctions but received none instead. In fact, US escalate the sanctions pressure and frustrate Kim who is now flexing his muscle to get Trump’s attention. Trump has done more harm than good in managing North Korea. US now have to rely on China to bring the tension down and as we speak, Pompeo is in the Far East for talks with the Chinese. I feel North Korea will escalate the tension more and likely to see fire fights.
