ahoy Fishjoel, good to see you in here, me friend!

matey, i believe that somewhar down the road, China does indeed want Taiwan to merge its ships with thar fleet. of course, they'd also rather the whole process happen without bloodshed, that seems quite natural and reasonable 'o them.

Taiwan has recently been 'a makin' friendly overtures towards China, also...and i'd expect this arc to continue as them Chinese continue forward in bein' the world's other superpower, and lone economic king 'o the planet. the United States, meanwhile, shall continue its terrifyin' journey to bein' a country armed to the teeth, militarily, and a nation that lives in financial debt to China.

still, i think whats goin' on here be two fold.

a) taiwan can leverage its military strength to achieve a more favorable negotiation when the two nations join, and China probably isn't all that please about that.

b) china be also flexin' its newfound muscle, in realizin' that fer a number 'o reasons (chief 'o which is our own folly), they can now dictate policy to the United States. 'tis a shot across the bow, mate.

aye.

If you and some other scallywag of a pirate were destined to join forces, peacefully in the future, would you benefit more by adding a fully equipped galley to your growing armada or a weak scurvy ridden dingy? Now if you intended to add this ship to your armada by force, if need be, you'd want them to be as weak as possible. You wouldn't want to take too much damage to your own fleet for the acquisition.
