#1 Good. Either they'll show the world how this shit is done, or end up sending a third of their little emperors to their deaths. Good either way.

#2 said Sun Qi

"Sun"? As in Yat-Sen? Seems a rather risky name for a loyal CCP cadre. Spy?.

#3 Nah, the name is honored by the CCP and the parties on Taiwan. They draw their 'legitimacy' originating from the 'founder' of modern China. Its sort of like democrats who keep trying to appropriate Lincoln as one of theirs.

#4 Let them waste their blood and treasure there. 20 years and we can't win.

#5 Depends on who "we" is. I believe the troops could do just fine, but there's no political will in Washington to "win," whatever that might look like.

#7 The Chinese troops won't worry about "hearts and minds" or collateral damage. The latter they might consider a feature, not a bug.

#8 It's not like the usual Muslim world 'outrage' over the final solution for the Uyghurs will stop another cleansing. What's that? No discernible whining about the Central Asians? Seems only the Trump administration was concerned and no one else.

#9 If the Chicoms are concerned about drug trafficking it's because they want in on it.

#12 If they follow the historical model for depressing violence from that area , you'll see village here and a village there disappear overnight . No women or children will be spared .

#19 Genghis Khan didn't have ROE

Did so - kill everything that doesn't surrender unconditionally. I'm sure PLA's ROE is quite different.
