              Nice of you to put words in my mouth, nowhere did I say I’m a victim. I just pointed out I don’t have to be nice to you. Really gotta work on your troll game.

            Good point. Why even engage you?

            You have made clear your disdain for all Americans.

            I’m not even looking for you but you’re everywhere just provoking people while acting like you’re persuasive. And your persuasive ability is to anger potential allies.

              People who promote western colonialism aren’t potential allies of mine. And yeah, I do have a lot of disdain for the empire and what it’s done for the world. I have no time for people promoting and defending it.

                  Time to learn what colonialism is. A country trying to reunify itself after a civil war when it was invaded and taken apart by western powers isn’t it.

        Is this the type of stuff you have to comment to be allowed access through the Great Firewall? Like what do you personally have to gain by your government forcibly taking over some territory?

          Nah, Taiwan will be repatriated one way or another, and it’s going to happen sooner than later at this point. I’ve got nothing to seethe and cope about. You flag types are the ones fuming here because you know where things are going, and the west is going to lose another colony soon. So sad.

    Just part of the dance. We’ll sell Taiwan another couple billion dollars of weaponry on schedule as always.

      Of course, Americans would love to turn Taiwan into another Ukraine, but I doubt you’ll get your ghoulish wish in the end.

        Taiwan doesn’t want China to invade, so they buy weapons from the US and other countries, and also have developed domestic missiles to strike at Chinese cities in case of invasion.

        Don’t know what to tell you.

        If anything Ukraine has hardened the Taiwanese stance, and showed them what an ounce of prevention is worth. I expect the next order of weapons to be even larger, because nobody actually wants another Ukraine.

          If you think Taiwan has any chance of doing anything in a war scenario you are out high with copium in the stratosphere and you are becoming delirious, it would be one of the shortest wars of all time. Simply proposing this scenario is a clear indication of how deep rooted the industrial military complex propaganda of the US has invaded people in the first world. Hope the collapse of your empire doesn’t hurt too much on your privileged ego.

            Taiwan has at least 1 anti ship missile for every Chinese vessel and 1 anti air missile for every Chinese aircraft, and this just from US-supplied weaponry(I encourage you to read the Wikipedia article above). Taiwan also has hundreds of domestic missiles that can hit as far as Wuhan, and at least 50(and more coming) that can hit Beijing.

            You say Taiwan can’t do anything in a war, but this certainly seems like a lot of something. Propaganda or no, things tend to explode when you shoot missiles at them.

            That said, certainly China would eventually succeed in invading Taiwan(barring foreign intervention), however China knows the cost of invasion and is not willing to pay it, so Taiwan keeps buying more weapons to ensure the price remains high for China.

            Were it not the case, China would have invaded by now.

            So instead China is doing slow diplomacy and hoping sentiment in the Taiwanese govt and people trend towards unification.

          We’ll just wait and see what happens in the next election in Taiwan won’t we. DPP isn’t exactly popular last I checked, and once US loses its puppet regime then the whole gig is up.

            Were you born yesterday or something? DPP and KMT alternate the presidency like musical chairs, similar to the republicans vs democrats in the US. At least people in Taiwan can vote lol. That’s more than I can say about their angry neighbour. Sorry to be thriving I guess, I hope one day you’ll get the help you need and finally get over the fact that most Taiwanese people prefer freedom ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              >Freedom

              Being able to choose between two parties that represent the same group of people is not freedom, is just theatrics so that incredulous people like you can whine when people decide they don’t want to do things as white western people told them to.

            I like how you refer to the fact most Taiwanese people want to either retain the current situation or gain further independence as a “gig”. Strong tankie vibes.

                I’m just telling you what polls of the Taiwanese population are indicating, however you don’t seem at all interested in that, because you’d rather send in the tanks.

                  The polls of the Taiwanese population are indicating that US backed DPP is crashing while KMT that wants to repatriate is polling high, however you don’t seem at all interested in that, because you’re a shill for the empire.

        Turn Taiwan into another Ukraine as if it’s the fault of the US that Russia invaded them (and by extension would be the fault of the US if China invaded Taiwan)? What a strange position to have…

          It’s pretty incredible to see that grown ass adults can’t understand the root causes that created the conditions for the war in Ukraine. It’s not like countless western academics and politicians have warned for decades that NATO expansion east would eventually lead to a war or anything.
