Summary
Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated in his New Year’s speech that Taiwan’s “reunification” with China is inevitable.
China has escalated military activity around Taiwan, including frequent incursions near the island and sanctions on U.S.-linked companies over arms sales to Taipei.
Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te rejected Beijing’s claims, stating Taiwan’s future can only be decided by its people.
Lai also criticized China’s restrictions on travel and education exchanges with Taiwan, calling for dignified, reciprocal relations based on goodwill and equality.
Totally not imperialism trust me bro.
I mean…It ain’t? Taiwan, the Kuomintang, were literally the imperialists. Taiwan was always China but China changed and…yeah modern china should probably leave Taiwan alone because it’s literally the old chinese government but 100 years later, but they won’t, their government actually thinks in millenia
At some point Poland held Moscow for a year. We need to get it back I guess. We like to think in milenia as well.
Wow, China’s propaganda in plain view in this comments section, damn!
Tankies gon’ tank.
Tankies gonna downvote too. They think they are anonymous in the votes haha
We need public downvotes
They already are
Yeah, some of 'em. Most of them are just regular Chinese people repeating what they’ve been told, though. I’ve talked with all kinds of Chinese people like that, and truly, when I’m not being a dick about it, it is amazing how quickly I can change their minds. “Quickly” here means “in a month”. Not during the first conversation. Be gentle.
And these people are willingly kissing his ass. They’re not even Chinese people who actually grew up with propaganda, but instead make the conscious choice to believe it.
The quickest way to do this is for the CCP to surrender to the ROC.
Reunification? Taiwan was never a part of communist China.
Just because Taiwan was part of an empire that has common roots with communist China is no reason at all.
Let’s not use their propaganda and call them communist. Communist leadership wouldn’t have fascist allies around the world
man that is a ridiculous amount of lies in very few words. nice show.
Imagine being the type of loser that would downvote comments in support of a country refusing to be overthrown.
You’d think we’d have learned by now, but here we are.
Here’s for hoping these kids manage to become aware of their ignorance by the time they hit high school.
same vibe
With the declining population and the slowing down of the chinese economy, he should be more concerned about improving their economy otherwise the Chinese population will give him mussolini treatment.
I worry for the future generations of Taiwan and Ukraine. Trump’s going to just shrug and let them die.
chaser behavior
she already said no, what the heck why are you still trying
That’s good, the US military is starting to get bored.
Some military strategists are expecting China to make their move in the next couple years.
I’ve seen similar reports. They are said to have the highest proportion of military aged men in their population between now and the early 2030’s before a big downwards population-trend for the next several generations as a result of the ol’ limited children policies. After that it’s suspected their resources will be too constrained caring for a ballooning elderly population.
-I’ll be curious to see how it all plays out.
This will somehow be treated differently than Gaza
That feel when people here do not realize their own government likely says Taiwan is part of China.
Okay, West Taiwan.
Sounds like something south Canada would say.
You mean North Mexico?
Not North America?
Oh wait…
Don’t do that.
Don’t give me hope.
Get the sentiment, but just a friendly reminder that most Taiwanese people don’t love the “West Taiwan” meme as it props up the outdated idea that Taiwan wants to make a claim to China, when the vast majority are in favor of just being left alone. This isn’t two aggressors laying claim to each other, it’s one threatening the other.
Sounds rather rapey when you put it that way, doesn’t it?
Very. But I still expect to see plenty of hypocritical leninists ignoring or defending this. Telling us that Daddy Xi is only killing them for their own good. And that if they just lay back and took it that they would learn to enjoy it.
Not that it’s ever made sense that they defend certain capitalists. While denouncing capitalism and other capitalist governments.
Definitely not something an imperialist would say.
