china is threatening war over taiwan but a recent donation of u.s coveted vaccines makes
that seem a little less likely
welcome to china uncensored i'm chris chappell well it's something that doesn't happen every
day a bipartisan group of u.s senators took a military aircraft to visit taiwan the three
senators arrived on a u.s air force c-17 not
plane available of transporting troops and cargo cargo like artillery battle tanks and
helicopters taiwanese media reported that it was the first c-17 visit since at least
1995.
meanwhile my favorite chinese state-run media global times said it was the most serious
provocation since u.s president joe biden took office which of course is just a fancy
way of saying that it angered china the arrival of three u.s senators in taiwan bearing covet
vaccines is part of the u.s playing catch-up at vaccine diplomacy the chinese communist
party has been selling its coveted vaccines around the world selling not donating and
those vaccines come with many strings attached those strings include being politically obedient
to the chinese regime which is why even though taiwan is struggling with a covet 19 surge
it's still refusing chinese vaccines and with good reason china is trying to use coveted
vaccines for political leverage in taiwan china cut off taiwan's access to germany's
bioentech shots and when japan donated 1.2 million vaccines to taiwan china said japan
was using the vaccines as a tool of political self-interest the party loves to accuse others
of doing what it does i'd say it's a guilty conscience but i don't think the communist
party feels guilt but the binding administration is now making a push to donate covet vaccines
to the world donate not sell unlike china and one u.s official said u.s vaccines don't
come with strings attached senator tammy duckworth one of the senators who visited taiwan said
taiwan is getting first dibs it was critical to the united states that taiwan be included
in the first group to receive vaccines because we recognize your urgent need and we value
this partnership the chinese communist party hates when the u.s recognizes taiwan like
this but china's response to this visit has been surprising and it has many chinese citizens
infuriated i'll tell you more after the break
welcome back so as you can imagine the chinese communist party is not happy about u.s senators
visiting taiwan in a military aircraft chinese jets have been making daily incursions in
taiwan airspace for months china considers taiwan part of its territory and my favorite
chinese state-run media the global times calls this latest move by the u.s and taiwan salami
slicing tactics they're accusing the u.s and taiwan of using small actions to get closer
diplomatically slice by slice and the communist party knows about salami slicing since they're
using it to take over more territory in the south china sea and on the indian border the
communist party also doesn't get irony so as this global times editorial asks how should
the mainland respond turns out by doing nothing nada zip state media including the official
xinhua news agency didn't report on the trip while the chinese foreign ministry sidestepped
a question about the plane but later foreign ministry spokesman wang wan bin broke out
his inner wolf warrior with this incendiary rhetoric the u.s should avoid sending any
wrong signal to taiwan independence separatists and causing further damage to china-u.s relations
and peace and stability across the taiwan strait these are the same people who have
been threatening to invade taiwan for years right in 2005 china passed a law saying it
had the right to use non-peaceful and other necessary means to prevent taiwan from formally
declaring independence chinese state remedia have threatened war if u.s military aircraft
go to taiwan they said that would be crossing china's red line it threatened to destroy
the taiwanese airport the u.s aircraft and start a war well i don't see a war starting
could it be the chinese communist party was just bluffing that it's all bluster a bully
who backs down at the first sign of pressure i'm shocked as were many of china's nationalistic
youth was all that talk of a red line in war just that talk one popular huevo comment china's
version of twitter said our red line is no red line if this is the case how can foreigners
treat taiwan as part of china another online commentary said this is a salami-slicing move
that is continuously pressing your red line maybe china's wolf warrior is just a sheep
in wolf's clothing and now it's time for me to answer a question from a member of the
china uncensored 50 cent army fans who support us and our efforts to expose the truth about
the chinese communist party by contributing through the crowdfunding website patreon bananapancakes
asks so is she going to go handmaid's tale to solve china's population problem this was
in response to my recent episode about china's new three child policy after decades of the
one child policy and then the brief to child policy the communist party is now allowing
chinese people to have three children that's after it became clear all those forced abortions
and sterilizations have caused a population crisis except as i mentioned in that episode
chinese people don't really want more kids in fact many want no kids intense workplace
competition inadequate child care and widespread job discrimination against pregnant women
have made childbearing an unappealing prospect for many so will the chinese communist party
resort to handmaid's tale tactics in the sense of how a small group of elite men suppress
the population forcing the lower class to work in dirty dangerous conditions it's already
doing that but will it start forcing women to have children well considering under china's
family planning policy women had their menstrual cycles recorded on blackboards for all to
see i don't think the communist party has an ethical problem with getting right up in
people's personal business in fact they don't see it as your personal business they see
it as the state's business so i really wouldn't be surprised if one day the three child policy
goes from a recommendation to a requirement in fact i talked about hoChina is threatening
war over Taiwan
But a recent donation of US Covid Vaccines
makes that seem a little less likely
Welcome to China Uncensored, I’m Chris Chappell.
Well, it’s something that doesn’t happen every day.
A bipartisan group of US senators took a military aircraft to visit Taiwan.
The three Senators arrived on a US Air Force C-17 freight plane.
They came to Taiwan to announce a donation of 750,000 US-made Covid vaccines.
But the real message was delivered to China, in the form of a US military transport plane
capable of transporting troops and cargo.
Cargo like artillery, battle tanks and helicopters.
“Taiwanese media reported that it was the first C-17 visit since at least 1995.”
Meanwhile, my favorite Chinese state-run media, the Global Times said it was “the most serious
provocation...since US President Joe Biden took office.”
Which of course is just a fancy way of saying that it angered China.
The arrival of three US Senators in Taiwan bearing Covid vaccines is part of the US playing
catch-up at Vaccine Diplomacy.
The Chinese Communist Party has been selling its Covid vaccines around the world.
Selling, not donating.
And those vaccines come with many strings attached.
Those strings include being politically obedient to the Chinese regime.
Which is why, even though Taiwan is struggling with a COVID-19 surge, it's still refusing
Chinese vaccines.
And with good reason.
China is trying to use Covid vaccines for political leverage in Taiwan.
China cut off Taiwan’s access to Germany’s BioNTech shots.
And when Japan donated 1.2 million vaccines to Taiwan,
China said Japan was using the vaccines as “a tool of political self-interest”.
The Party loves to accuse others of doing what it does.
I’d say it’s a guilty conscience, but I don’t think the Chinese Communist Party
feels guilt.
But the Biden Administration is now making a push to donate Covid vaccines to the world.
Donate.
Not sell.
Unlike China.
And one US official said US vaccines “don’t come with strings attached.”
Senator Tammy Duckworth , one of the Senators who visited Taiwan, said Taiwan is getting
first dibs.
“It was critical to the United States that Taiwan be included in the first group to receive
vaccines because we recognize your urgent need and we value this partnership.”
The Chinese Communist Party hates when the US recognizes Taiwan like this.
But China’s response to this visit has been surprising.
And it has many Chinese citizens infuriated.
I’ll tell you more after the break.
Welcome back.
So as you can imagine, the Chinese Communist Party is not happy about US Senators visiting
Taiwan in a military aircraft.
Chinese jets have been making daily incursions in Taiwan airspace for months.
China considers Taiwan part of its territory.
And my favorite Chinese state-run media, the Global Times, calls this latest move by the
US and Taiwan “salami-slicing tactics.”
They’re accusing the US and Taiwan of using small actions to get closer diplomatically,
slice by slice.
And the Communist Party knows about salami slicing—since they’re using it to take
over more territory in the South China Sea.
And on the Indian border.
The Communist Party also doesn’t get irony.
So as this Global Times editorial asks, how should the Mainland respond?
Turns out, by doing nothing.
Nada.
Zip.
“State media including the official Xinhua News Agency didn’t report on the trip while
the Chinese Foreign Ministry sidestepped a question about the plane.”
But later, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin broke out his inner wolf warrior with
this incendiary rhetoric.
“[The US] should avoid sending any wrong signal to ‘Taiwan independence’ separatists
and causing further damage to China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan
Strait.”
These are the same people who have been threatening to invade Taiwan for years, right?
In 2005, China passed a law saying it had the right to “use non-peaceful and other
necessary means” to prevent Taiwan from formally declaring independence.
Chinese state-run media have threatened war if US military aircraft go to Taiwan.
They said that would be crossing China’s “redline.”
It threatened to destroy the Taiwanese airport, the US aircraft, and start a war.
Well, I don’t see a war starting.
Could it be—the Chinese Communist Party was just bluffing?
That it’s all bluster?
A bully who backs down at the first sign of pressure?
I’m shocked!
As were many of China’s nationalistic youth.
Was all that talk of a redline and war just that?
Talk?
One popular comment on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter said, “Our red line is no red
line.
If this is the case, how can foreigners treat Taiwan as part of China?”
Another online commenter said, “This is a salami-slicing move that is continuously
pressing your red line.”
Maybe China’s Wolf Warrior is just a sheep in wolf’s clothing.
And now it’s time to answer a question from a member of the China Uncensored 50 Cent Army,
fans who support us and our efforts to expose the truth about the Chinese Communist Party,
by contributing through crowd funding website Patreon.
Banana Pancakes asks, “So is Xi going to go Handmaid’s Tale to solve China's population
problem?”
That was in response to my recent episode about China’s new three child policy.
After decades of the one-child policy, and then the brief two-child policy, the Communist
Party is now allowing Chinese people to have three children.
That’s after it became clear all those forced abortions and sterilizations have caused a
population crisis.
Except as I mentioned in that episode, Chinese people don’t really want more kids.
In fact, many want no kids.
“Intense workplace competition, inadequate child care and widespread job discrimination
against pregnant women have made childbearing an unappealing prospect for many.”
So, will the Chinese Communist Party resort to Handmaid’s Tale tactics?
In the sense of how a small group of elite men suppress the population, forcing the lower
class to work in dirty, dangerous conditions...it’s already doing that.
But will it start forcing women to have children?
Well, considering under China’s family planning policy, “Women had their menstrual cycles
recorded on blackboards, for all to see.”
...I don’t think the Communist Party has an ethical problem with getting right up in
people’s personal business.
In fact, they don’t see it as your personal business.
They see it as the state’s business.
So I really wouldn’t be surprised if one day, the three child policy goes from a recommendation
to a requirement.
In fact, I talked about how the Party could start forcing people to have babies in this
recent episode.
