Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion
‘Chasing Dreams’, an eight-part series aired on state TV, features testimony from dozens of soldiers
What are they expecting to happen if they attack Taiwan? They'll start the next world war. There isn't a reality where the West is going to let them have it, regardless of how effective their "precision strikes" or suicidal their lunatics are.
They don't need to invade Taiwan. Taiwan will naturally gravitate towards the winning horse as we are seeing with many other countries around the world. Obviously for countries like Taiwan and South Korea this will be harder as they are essentially just gigantic US army bases, but it will happen.
If a war does occur over Taiwan you can bet that it will be instigated by the US.
I mean, isn't this just the most schizophrenic framing. It's Chinese soldiers who are lunatics for being patriotic but Americans are sane for threatening world war over a Chinese island on the other side of the world.
For the US, at least, I don't think the people care enough about Taiwan to support going to war.
It's a good thing we don't have referendums on these kind of things then.
Not really news. Of course soldiers are going to say nationalistic things.
You go to amazing lengths to ignore the argument.
Do the Taiwanese wanna be ruled by genocidal authoritarians? Nope
the end...
Pro human decency tip. Ya can't impose your will on people. Maybe that's the concept you fail at grasping
soldiers are blockheaded idiots, more at 11. imagine fetishizing your own agonizing death getting shredded or drowning on some awful beach fighting your countrymen. couldn't be me.
all power to the peaceful reunification of China
This is the best summary I could come up with:
China has released a new documentary about the army’s preparations to attack Taiwan, showcasing soldiers pledging to give up their lives if needed, as Beijing continues to ramp up its rhetoric against the self-ruled island.
“Chasing Dreams”, an eight-part series aired by state broadcaster CCTV last week to mark the 96th anniversary of the People Liberation Army (PLA), features military drills and testimonials by dozens of soldiers, of which several express their willingness to die in a potential attack against Taiwan.
They serve to fan rising Chinese nationalism and display military confidence against Taiwan and, implicitly, its ties with the United States.
The “Chasing Dreams” documentary showcased, among other things, the PLA’s “joint sword” drills, which simulated precision strikes against Taiwan.
Li Peng, a pilot from Wang Hai Squadron under the PLA air force, echoed the statement, saying his “fighter jet would be the last missile rushing towards the enemy if, in a real battle, I had used up all my ammunition”.
Fan Lizhong, a special tactics unit commander, said in the docuseries that while losing comrades was painful, he had to remain calm to respond to emergencies and always be ready to fight.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
