      Ah yes, peacefully pushing for reunifcation of a province (that’s already highly independent mind you) over a course of multiple decades.

      Totally the same urgency as settler colonialism and genocide.

      You imperialist, sinophobic liberals are embarassing. You just want your computer chips and US supremacy. Never mind the horrid factory conditions in Foxconn, a Taiwanese company btw.

      We saw what you did to Ukraine, it will not happen to Taiwan as well, they deserve better than a proxy war with their countrymen.

      It’s pretty simple math. They get to look like the good guys. Pretty important when they’ve got all sorts of investments in Africa and the Middle East.

        And for a lot of those countries, China is easily the lesser of two evils. Says more about us in the West than about them though.

        China understander has logged on to remind everyone that the US will keep meddling in Chinese affairs.

        Considering much of your “western democracy” was built on imperialism and slavery, it seems like its easier to bully China than to do self reflection.
