American expert: In the spring of 2024, China will try to seize Taiwan

One of the main international problems continues to be the situation around Taiwan, which, against the backdrop of events around Ukraine and the Middle East, has so far been relegated to the background.

According to American military expert Erik Prince, who is the founder of the American PMC Blackwater, as early as the spring of this year, Beijing may try to solve the Taiwan problem by military means.



In an interview with British news channel GB News, Prince said the following:

If they (China) are going to take Taiwan by force, I would predict that they will do it in the spring

The founder of the Blackwater PMC explains his assumptions by saying that the most acceptable weather conditions in this region will be in May or June. The rest of the year it is too windy there, the expert noted.

The Taiwan problem arose after the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, when remnants of anti-communist forces took refuge on the island. Beijing considers the island an integral part of China. However, the United States comes out in support of Taiwan.

According to some experts, Beijing may decide to seize Taiwan by taking advantage of the fact that the United States will hold presidential elections in 2024, and Washington will be busy with internal affairs.

      Return to our native harbor. In general, this would be ideal for us; distraction to Israel is of course good, but not enough.

        For China, if it decides to return Taiwan by military means, the actions of Russia and Israel are also optimal.
        Now is truly the best moment. The Americans are bogged down in problems, NATO's military warehouses are depleted, and the industry has not yet sussed out new revenues. And against the backdrop of problems in NATO, ordinary people will increasingly vote for non-interference.
        It's about time.

      Much (if not everything) depends on which party wins the elections - the PRC will be satisfied with the victory of the Kuomintang.

        The expert apparently conducts a weather forecast on a provincial TV channel and suddenly he was included in the forecasts for the war. It is easily treated or goes away on its own with changes in the weather. lol

      Do you really think that the islanders yearn for “liberation”?))
      Some expert of our level said something and everyone fell in love...
      Uncle Xi is waiting for elections on the island, hoping to change the course of the Taiwanese government, since his relationship with this leadership has not worked out.)

    As soon as embassies start pouring out from Taipei, like from Kyiv to Lvov, this will mean a quick start.

    Whenever it starts, be it in the spring or in the fall, I would like to wish China to solve the Taiwan problem to the detriment of mattresses and in its favor. The Chiang Kai-shek regime must be defeated. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China!

        Speculating about how China will return Taiwan to its jurisdiction, military or political, is not a rewarding task. In general, China has never been a supporter of military diplomacy, but after Xi’s next election to the post of Chinese leader in March last year, in his first address to the Chinese, he announced that the Taiwan issue would be closed in the next five years.

          Hm. Taiwan is a mono-structure, on the one hand, completely protecting itself from export and import. If China manages to close Taiwan's external markets - especially the US and EU and limit the import of food and resources, then... for China the problem of "two Chinas" will be solved. However... Do you see anything in the actions of mainland China in this direction? Right, and I don't see it either. So, what is the conclusion? I won't tell you, think for yourself... hi

            I'll tell you a secret, China has a sufficient reserve of strategic patience, which it uses perfectly in countering the intrigues of the USA, because it never relied on the forceful option of returning Taiwan, at least until the mattresses staged a provocation with the visit of old lady Nancy Pelosi. After that, a whole series of provocative actions followed from the USA, from political support for "aspirations for independence" with the visit of American ships to the supply of weapons to Taiwan. Note that since then the topic of China's war with Taiwan has always come from the same "maternity hospital and its obstetric branches", that is, from the USA and "near". hi

    To begin with, in this case, the Chinese should arrange a water blockade of Taiwan, and there are no signs of a blockade in sight!!!

      As soon as the United States weakens, everything goes towards this and Taiwan itself will surrender

        Those. Will Taiwanese managers in government and business give up their positions and voluntarily submit to the power of Chinese managers? Well, you know... In politics and business, there are not very many saints or at least decent ones. To put it mildly.

      Here's how ...
      There are not many options - either he will try to capture it, or he will not try.

      Even in casinos they play with such odds quite confidently - “red-black, even-odd”. True, the winnings are small, but the probability is encouraging.
      Now imagine that this “expert” gives out his “expertise” in batches in bank packaging. Out of ten “bets” one will win - and he is already Nostradamus. Naturally, no one mentions the rest of the “predictions” anymore.

    In my opinion, the Blackwater PMC is looking for work on the principle of mercenaries “God grant us 100 years of war, but not a single battle” (“All the Lords of Camelot” by V. Sverzhin), so they scare the Taiwanese. Maybe they'll hire you.

    There are no fundamental changes in the position of the Chinese leadership. It wants reunification through peaceful means and is not ready for a military-political adventure (the costs are too obvious and high). Taiwanese candidates and voters, despite existing differences, declare their readiness for “decent” cooperation with the PRC (but not unification)...

    How can one seize something that officially belongs to China, which by the way is recognized by the whole world, including the UN? Maybe return it to China's control, but that's a completely different wording. I am surprised that the entire planet calmly watches the duplicity of the US, which they do not even try to hide. On the one hand, they clearly recognize the unity of China, on the other hand, they fully support Taiwan. I will keep quiet about the cowards and the cross.

    In Taiwan, TSMC factories will cause problems in microelectronics
    China can take over Taiwan, the US has no ammunition.
    All that remains is to conquer Holland and all electronics will be in the east
    Russia also needs to prepare for a big war, we are now at war with NATO, they are the main sponsors of this war. We need to produce more missiles so that we can fire hundreds of missiles at Ukraine every day.
