China Offers To Send 100,000 Soldiers To Taiwan To Assist With Earthquake Cleanup

 

BEIJING — In what the media hailed as an inspiring show of international diplomacy and compassion, China offered to send 100,000 soldiers to Taiwan to assist with earthquake cleanup.

Following a devastating 7.4-magnitude earthquake, the Chinese government graciously reached out to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen to inform her that China had 100,000 soldiers ready and waiting to enter the country to help with rescue efforts.  [...]

I am sure this could be a very real offer.

The Babylon Bee is very often accurate, as we've observed!

However, I'm betting that China will invade just before the U.S. election or inauguration.

Apparently it was offered and rejected.

Too sad when the pride gets in the way of helping regular folks under rubbles.

 

I know some may hate this comment, but I can't help not to express my view (which is worth $0.02).

 

Same goes to Russia - Ukraine, Israel - Gaza etc etc. To sad seeing people suffering because of ambitions and disputes.

If you look into the history of the aid China offered last time, it is not surprising it was rejected this time.  As is with most things connected to the CCP, there are always strings attached.

I get the complex history. At the same time I'm putting myself in the shoes of a person stuck somewhere without water and food. I'd gladly accept help from anybody, regardless of their race, age, religion, policial views. But maybe I have a simplified view and some people would prefer to suffer because of political convictions.

I agree except for when it comes with significant strings attached.  For instance would you accept that help if the person offering the help required you to do something against your morals?  In a case like this, when humanitarian aid is needed and help is offered it should be condition free.

without a doubt, any "aid" sent would be delivered by intelligence operatives who would be observing and noting everything they could, and the reports from that intel operation would then be used to refine invasion plans.

Agreed, it's very possible.
