American press: If China sees that the West is weak on the Ukrainian issue, it will immediately try to resolve the Taiwan issue in its favor

The American press continues to reflect on how events may develop after the repeatedly announced Ukrainian offensive. Experts at the WSJ publish material stating that the presidents of Ukraine and Russia "consider the armed conflict as existential for their countries, and therefore intend to go to the end, believing that they can win it."

The material of the American observers says that the Ukrainian “counteroffensive” will probably not end the conflict:

It may turn out to be a protracted conflict of attrition, similar to what is happening in Bakhmut.

WSJ:

If the Ukrainians are successful during the offensive, then Putin may cede to them the territory taken under control since February 2022. But many experts consider such an outcome unlikely. After all, it can lead to big problems for Russia itself.

American authors write that after Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow, the Russian president felt confident and "reinforced the idea that time is working for him." At the same time, the WSJ adds that the Ukrainian offensive itself may turn out to be "with many unknowns."

The authors write that more and more Western countries are calling for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. France is cited as an example, where only 29% of the population support the option of military-technical assistance to Ukraine. Today, the President of Slovakia announced a drop in the level of support for Ukraine from Slovak citizens.

From the material:

But no matter how many problems for Ukraine, the West will continue to hold on to this topic, as it sees in it a kind of reflection of a likely conflict in Taiwan. After all, if China sees that the West is weak with regard to the Ukrainian issue, it will immediately try to resolve the Taiwan issue in its favor.

. China will solve the problem of Taiwan in its favor anyway ...

[marchcat]

Absolutely right, China is not washing like that by skating, but it will take its toll.

[rocket757]

Apparently, the Chinese leadership wants to do everything peacefully, without too much fuss. They have already taken the first step, the election in Taiwan was won by a party that really looks at what and how is happening in the world and does not trust Uncle Sam very much.

According to the logic of the European, for China to start the operation to annex Formosa, it is enough to make sure that the West is completely involved in the Ukrainian conflict and that it will not have the strength and means for another conflict. But what is the logic of the Chinese? Not many people know this...

The logic of the European is simply iron. But where is Europe and the Ukrainian conflict, and where is the US Pacific Fleet? These are little related things, hence the whole Chinese logic.

Probably pick up Taiwan and trade with the EU / USA ...

[koramax81]

And the Slovaks, they felt something .... Are they really waiting for an answer later?

The West is driving itself into a situation where the solution of many regional issues will depend on the very existence of the West.

Reminds me of the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire, doesn't it? By the way, the native Romans by that time had long since degenerated and did not serve in the army. Why, they were no longer enough for positions in remote provinces. And when the fires began throughout the empire, it turned out that even in such conditions the Romans did not rush into the legions ...

[lubesky]

Well, let's say the president of a "regional" NUCLEAR superpower really has reason to believe in the impossibility of defeat in the end. And what is the junkie counting on if we omit his drug addiction and puppetry? What are the reasons for winning?

Oh yes, we have the Abramovichs and the experience of Khasavyurt behind us ...

At the very least, as long as there is Western support, Russia's military victory over Ukraine is not possible. This means that everything rests on the goal of Washington, but the United States will definitely not surrender all of Ukraine to Russia. If they ever want to stop/freeze this conflict, they always have the experience of Korea (South Korea was against, but was not asked). Those. a stalemate for both sides, which they cannot change.

Yes, yes! He’s looking straight, he (PRC) doesn’t need it. China can solve everything without problems without it, because there is Soviet power, the main thing for China is not to ruin Taiwan’s industry. People think about their citizens what they live and not like Putin, as it were, to pull out 3gras from the elderly (pension reform). China just needs to choose the moment to import the revolution and so that it benefits. This is the only thing that interests the Chinese CCP.

Based on their past experience, if the domestic media begin to write about China-Taiwan, then not everything is rosy in the NWO

It depends on what the States mean by the word "West". If Europe - then the whole world has long been convinced of how weak the EU is - without political will, without leaders, without sovereignty and without an army.
And if they mean themselves, then everyone knows how weak and indecisive the States can be from Afghanistan. Even if now they, trying to rehabilitate themselves, inflict powerful proxy strikes on Russian sovereignty, Afghanistan cannot be thrown out of history.
Therefore, the way the East will turn away from the West has completely different reasons.
