which will host every video we have made
including some sensitive ones
that we are not allowed to post here
today we talk
about the two oxidized US warships
that cross the Taiwan strait
on August 28, 2022
two retiring US cruisers
USS Antietam and USS Chancellorsville
were escorted by the Chinese military's
23 warplanes and 8 warships through the Taiwan strait
flexing their wrinkles,
not muscles, in front of the whole world
China's eastern theatre of
operations was on alert
to monitor the entire movement of those US ships
the Chinese army's spokesman said
troops in the war zone
were on high alert and ready to thwart any provocation
in a previous video
we mentioned that China's warplanes and warships
would take good care of America's visiting destroyers
like parents sending their babies to kindergartens
it sounded hilarious
but the reality was more entertaining
since US House speaker Nancy pelosi
paid her sneaky visit to Taiwan
after repeated warnings from Beijing
the situation in the Taiwan strait
has become more tense and complicated than before
and the Chinese army permanently changed
the deliberately maintained status quo
as the US
and its allies suggested in their press notes
when China mainland blockaded Taiwan
in the past months
we have relentlessly discussed the rising
danger of a military conflict
when the US and Taiwan's independence
elements conspire to challenge the one-China principle
China Mainland
is unwilling to resolve the Taiwan issue by
force if it is not cornered
it still hopes that
Taiwan will reunite with the mainland peacefully
which is least likely even if the Kuomintang Party
wins the election in the coming years
more than 300 years ago
Qing Dynasty recovered Taiwan through military might
and negotiations
which can help us
understand today's situation in Taiwan
we will make a video comparing it with today's deadlock
this week
we refer to today's situation in the Taiwan
strait as a deadlock
and there is a reason
militarily and economically
Taiwan cannot withstand assaults from Beijing
still, foreign forces want to use the island as a tool
to stop China's rise
under the guise of protecting the so-called freedom
and democracy on the Chinese renegade island
no US politicians
and their counterparts in the west would
care about the 23 million people
on the island
as they have treated Ukrainians in the past six months
however, China is different from Russia
and Taiwan is not a sovereign country like Ukraine
unless the US
and its allies want to cut their ties with Beijing
and they are willing to give up the world's
biggest market that boasts 1.4 billion customers
for the sake of a small island's fake democracy
and human rights
which even the DPP authorities do not care
no one would fight China mainland
as many critics on the island point out
Tsai Ing-wen would lament the loss of Shinzo Abe
with Taiwan's flags at half-staff
and showed her
deep regret for the new Japanese prime minister
for his positive
test result as if morning Joe Biden's beloved dog
still, she never
she never tweeted a sorry for hundreds or thousands
of wretched Taiwanese
young people who have been abused in Cambodia
is taiwana democracy or a regime?
for whose freedom
and human rights is the DPP government fighting?
can the independence elements get support
once a military operation starts?
from the two rusty US destroyers
most people should have the answer
we must express our admiration for the US
military's wisdom in sending two grandpa-class warships
which are not much younger than the incumbent
US president and house speaker
to show its skittish resoluteness to stand with Taiwan
we said in a previous video
that America's rusty warships
do not fit the beautiful landscape
on Asia's coastlines
still, they staggered through the Taiwan strait
despite China mainland's warnings now and then
an apparent provocation to mainland China
and support for the island separatist forces
the move is in response to Beijing's lockdown
exercises in Taiwan
when white house oficial
kurt campbell told the outside
world that the United States would soon engage in
standard air and sea passage in the Taiwan strait
most people believed the USS reagan aircraft carrier
was a perfect choice
USS Ronald Reagan did make several suspicious moves
like a drunkard between Taiwan,
the Philippines, and Japan
in 1996,
two US aircraft carrier strike
groups did not give the Chinese
army a chance to change
the status quo
in the Taiwan strait
however, in 2022,
the US only sent two corroded ships
one of which is to retire in 2024
and another in 2026,
supposedly,
through the alleged international water it claimed
according to the pictures disclosed
the two grannies
or grandpas
demonstrated their friendliness to the Chinese side
with open cabins
showing their messy interiors to both
sides of the strait
in sharp contrast with Washington's high profile
that has escalated the situation in the Taiwan strait
many international analysts to speculate that
the US military
would send the USS Reagan carrier battle group over
the Taiwan strait
during which it would take off fighter jets
the United States had two destroyers amid fishing boats
whether the US wants to admit it or not
it has lost
control of the first island chain to contain China
in the west pacific
and Japan
has been pushed forward to confront China's mainland
the problem is that the Japanese
may not be willing to serve as America's cannon fodder
and Washington could hardly achieve its goal
of stopping China's reunification
by shedding the last drop of Japanese soldiers' blood
many say the US
sent two rusty ships to the region to
show its commitment to Taiwan
without provoking China's mainland too much
which we disagree with
a provocation is a provocation
and China has to lodge stern protests
even if Beijing
and Washington have reached some undertable
deals to allow the US
to save its face with such a symbolic move
Chinese ambassador Qin Gang
and US deputy state secretary
Wendy Sherman met several days ago
and were unhappy with each other
they should have made some compromises in this regard
although none of them wanted to admit it
politics is a game, a dirty one, to be exact
with China's quick rise
the United States only has two options
to accept china as a new superpower
and cooperate with Beijing
which is a win-win for both
or to fight it as it did with other
emerging countries like Germany
Japan and the European Union
which might end America's hegemony
even if it could contain China
a lose-lose war for two of them
and the rest of the world
apparently, the United States has not decided yet
and the risk of having a hot war or a proxy war
between Beijing
and Washington is still high
many analysts in the US believe that if the US
wants to have a war with China
it is better to be now than later
the military-industrial complex
needs a massive
conflict with a big country to maximize its profit
at the same time
the United States benefits from a prosperous China
and many US multinational companies
cannot afford to lose China's market
not long ago
Apple demanded all its suppliers in Taiwan to mark
"Chinese Taipei"
or "Taiwan, China"
as the origin
when shipping components to China's mainland
which has illustrated
America's big companies
do not want to anger China's mainland
as they did in Russia
as we constantly said before, the US
wants to sell Taiwan at a good price
and it gained massive interest
from China's mainland by playing the Taiwan card
but this time,
the US
realized that Taiwan was not its hostage anymore
and Beijing refused to pay the ransom
the US
government does not have much time left
and it will soon decide whether it should have a war
with Beijing
militants such as Bolton and his like do not fully
control the deep state behind the government
and all interest groups
have their representatives in The White House
and Capitol Hill
not all US politicians and lawmakers are stupid
and they know whether the US
military can win a war with Beijing
at china's doorstep
reports reveal that unexpected
and frequent clogging haunts
US navy's newest aircraft carriers
and the army must flush each carrier's sewage system
with a $400,000 acid wash
it means House speaker Nancy pelosi
has to work four years to earn
enough after-tax compensation
to accumulate nearly half a million
US dollars to flush those toilets
if she is willing to foot the bill
which is the last thing she will do for the country
after spending around
$90 (96) million to fly her to the Chinese renegade island
in early August 2022
the United States
has gained nothing from her provocative visit
instead, the US
has lost its face in front of the world
and many of its allies
including South Korea and Australia
are approaching China
this time the US
can still dispatch
two rusty warships to flex their wrinkles in the
Taiwan strait
nominally showing its presence in the region
in the foreseeable future, however,
it will be difficult
for Washington to send any ships to the Taiwan strait
after retiring dozens of such oxidized vessels
the good part is that its ally Japan
boasts great artisans who can make
fascinating paper cranes
and the Pentagon could order hundreds of thousands of them
and sail them
through the so-called international water
