The U.S. Marines are working with local maritime forces on small-boat training. The American forces have been operating in Taiwan for at least a year, the officials said.

US was training and equipping Afghan forces as well, it will be appropriate for the US to bring the both sides on the table to iron out any issues and not to pour petrol at the volatile situation.

who has been successful in Afghanistan in the past 3,000 years ? no one so US is no different

its not conventional warfare in Afghanistan

in open sea in a conventional war US will annihilate any navy in the World within minutes

but its great to see Chinese use Afghanistan as example, just shows how ill informed they are

Also you don't fight by convention. You fight to win to survive. Americans sons fought for cleaning American corporate money

 

[Wood]

The presence of a small contingent of US special ops personnel carries more symbolic than practical relevance. China will consider these US troops as American military operating within its soil and this will annoy the establishment. But practically speaking, the low numbers do not indicate that US is willing to risk fighting China head on in any potential conflict over Taiwan.

Taiwan has no insurgency.

This is like North Korea vs. South Korea.

It has a puppet government that will fall as quickly.

 

[Novus ordu seclorum]

It has a puppet government that will fall as quickly.

By that definition, South Korea and Japan are puppet governments and will fall quickly in war.

You'd be surprised.

Americans have equipped and trained armed forces of a large number of countries since World War 2 so all are incompetent in warfare?

South Korea and Japan - each is a powerhouse.

You do realize that US has not fought a power like China. Bombing Taliban or Sadam's army is one thing, going up against a professional airforce that will employ more aerial vehicles is another.

 

[Falconless]

Sadam's army is one thing

To be fair, Saddam’s army and airforce were a forced to be reckoned with in the Kuwait war, the Iraqis even shot allied planes down.
