How bout Xi just fuck off and focus on the 1.4 billion people already under his control?
WTF kind of brain worm is possessing all these people to waste so much effort, money, and lives to gain small pieces of land. Absolutely ridiculous state of affairs in 2024. We have enough problems to keep us busy already.
Because Taiwan is a very valuble small peice of land.
Microchip manufacturing facilities there are going to be important in the near future with the worlds increasing dependance on computing power & electronics manufacturing.If Taiwan was just another pocket of rural china then the CCP wouldnt give anywhere much of a shit… but they still probably wouldnt like it “getting away”.
The CCP was obsessed with conquering the island long before the first fab was built there. They just didn’t have the means to pull it off. They don’t have those now either, but enough yes-men must have told Xi otherwise.
Taiwan already has plans to destroy those fabs if china invades, they will get nothing of the sort
So should I buy a new GPU now?
Meanwhile, back in the real world, a little more industry moves to Mexico or back into the USA.
China will pay whom?
China always be saying stuff like this. This isn’t news worthy
I don’t think China and Taiwan have ever been unified.
Taiwan is the legitimate governing entity of also the mainland
The actions of people a hundred years ago do not give people of today the authority rule.
Yeah I’m partly joking. Would be cool if the mainlanders get some sort of freedom
Named Legitimate by who?
Non tankies.
So you don’t know. I see.
Well Taiwan’s claim predates that of the current People’s Republic of China.
It’d also be fine if the mainlanders overthrow their oppressors and claim independence I guess
Would be preferable tbh. China could just drop their claims over Taiwan and drop the levels of international tension by a fair bit, but no, they’re imperialists, and want to take everything.
Oh, bother!
Whatever, Xit-head. You keep on whining and we’ll keep ignoring.
Given America is likely to vote Trump as the next president, and his extensive ties to China, you’ll probably end up selling out the Taiwanese for a lucrative real estate deal for Dear Leader.
Those that like their treason served fresh from Trump’s diaper would like that, no doubt.
Could someone please explain the difference between “(re)unification” and “illegal annection” to the Chinese?
It’s colonial language. Basically “reunification” translates into “expanding the central kingdom” - because the CPC wants to expand the central kingdom, i.e China.
It’s a triple extra secret heavy price this time
