Taiwan would give China's submarine fleet a deadly advantage



Sky News Senior Investigative Reporter Jonathan Lea reveals how if Taiwan were to fall it would give China’s growing submarine fleet a deadly advantage in the region.

There is no noticeable shift in Chinese President Xi Jinping’s determination to take Taiwan despite meeting world leaders in recent weeks.

  1. According to this video Taiwan's situation is dire but for anyone that follows international relations in the far east they would have known this was coming. For the Taiwanese its as if they've been sleepwalking into disaster because their efforts at defense have been pathetically insufficient and worse I think they expect the US to protect them. If they are to survive the coming crisis they should be on a crash program to militarize the entire island but I don't see anything like that happening. Small nations can survive against colossal threats like the communists in China but they have to spend everything they've got and then some to do it. I can see Taiwan falling in a few years because of this apathy. Japan should be Taiwan's biggest supporter but because of their constitution they have neutered themselves and even South Korea is occupied with a major threat on its own doorstep.

  2. You use the words "China's militarisation". China had not sent warships thousands of kilometers away to irritate and intimidate others. The US did that all the time. Australia tried to imitate it's big brother only because thinking it had its big brothers support. Do you call them militarizing
    other's territories? So biased. I long for the time when China would send and maintain war ships next to the US, Canadian , Australian and UK coasts.

  3. There is no need to “engage the seventh fleet against China to defend Taiwan” below I have a lower risk way:

    I recommend the following preemptive actions:

    1) us attack submarines locate every offensive nuclear capable Chinese submarine and trail it and be ready to destroy it within 60 minutes

    2) stealthily “park“ UStrident nuclear SLBm capable submarines close off the shore in the pacific nearest to China. Have them ready to destroy Chinese ICBM silos within 30 minutes

    3) then without firing a shot, blockade all oil tankers heading to China at the strait of Hormuz using the United States fifth fleet. Simply turn them back or force them to anchor. The Chinese navy does not extend that far west and should not pose a threat but if they do the attack subs are ready anyway

    Within six months China will be completely inert chocked and Winnie the Pooh and company, gone. if they attempt a launch or we think that’s iminent, we simply destroy all their submarines and forward offensive capability in silos and in the water.

  4. How have we still not cut off non crucial imports from China? We are burying so much plastic from them and feeding the war machine. We are feeding their military!! Think about that!!

  5. There is nothing that America can do in the South China seas except yield and not escalate or provoke China since America has no jurisdiction to meddle or get themselves involve with the ongoing disputes between China and Taiwan since it was a province of China that Taiwan is a part of China since the beginning of time 👍

  6. You know what the book of Revelations says about that dragon with the seven heads😖
    Presently, Taiwan is ‘the’ strategic naval focal point of the Pacific Rim for the free world & needs to ‘up the Annie’ big time on its military defences ASAP.

  7. "Reunification of Taiwan" as a commonly used phrase is very misleading.
    Remember that Mao's forces killed 80 million people in order to steal the country and the legitimate government under Lee Kwan Yu retreated to Taiwan and has since then remained in exile while the theives controlling the occupied territory of mainland China killed another 30 million people in the famine that they caused by stealing the farms and failing to produce because they had no understanding of farming.
    The rest of the world has made a terrible mistake in recognising the theives as a legitimate government and have fuelled their arms build up in exactly the same way that they fuelled Germany's arms build up in the 20's.
    Taiwan is the new Sudetenland and our Western governments are the new Chamberlains! 😥
