Thoughts?

Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

    Not sure how threatening forceful unification every few months comes under “being nice”.

      Liberals will be in the middle of a bombing run on Venezuela and stop to complain about Chinese aggression

        I don’t at all like, nor agree with the current USA administration rhetoric or potential plans towards Venezuela - but that doesn’t have any relevance whatsoever to Chinese aggression and antagonism towards Taiwan, nor the fact that the Taiwanese - from their perspective - have way more to fear from China than the USA.

        Two things can be bad.
