    It’s MADdening that you believe that the US won’t be nuked for giving weapons to Taiwan and directing them to kill millions of people in mainland China. Taiwan doesn’t want to go to war with China and they’ve always wanted reunification. The US wants to divide and conquer China and should stop before it creates a nuclear catastrophe.

      Lol ok. If Taiwan has always wanted reunification then why hasn’t it happened yet? Were they waiting for an invitation? This is bad Chinese astroturfing.

        Lol Taiwan and China have both claimed to be the “real China” but Taiwan is just a small separatist holdover of a civil war that ended nearly 75 years ago. Since they can’t run the show, they’re trying to be a wedge for US imperialism in east Asia. The People of Taiwan are Chinese citizens and the US should stop encouraging them to go to war to destroy themselves and their country.

          How petty the mainland Chinese must be if they cannot move on from a small island after three quarters of a century.

            Petty is when your girlfriend keeps your favorite shirt after the breakup.

            Refusing to admit you lost a civil war 75 years ago and blowing up a major dam, killing 35 million people to stall unification is genocide.

              There is no law of the universe which says that a civil war must end in “unification.”

              It seems to me that the Taiwanese are moving on. Why can’t the mainland Chinese move on? Why do they let their former enemy still control themselves like this? Why do they let Taiwan hold this power over themselves? How can such a large, wealthy country of over a billion people be so obsessed with a small country of only twenty million?

          Ok, then why continue lying about it and pretending China has to act against Taiwan to prevent it?

            I think the reason the US is lying is because they believe that they can undermine China’s position. They want to damage the country in some way to maintain their status as the sole superpower, but it’s too late for that. China is entrenched as a leader in world industry and attempting to contain them is impossible.

              I’m getting convinced you’re a parody account roleplaying as a paid apologist

                I’d describe myself as unfortunately well-informed. More likely is that the people I’m arguing with are paid apologists/mis-educated by the mainstream media.

                  You’re ‘informed’ that the US is planning to ‘conquer China’

                  Better swap your phone for some binoculars and go watch the horizon, I’m sure the landing ships will be arriving any day now

              Oh. That’s delusional.

              It’s funny how “second echelon” states’ enthusiasts are making the same mistakes in every century. From the German Empire to Soviet Union to China.

              Scale is not the only thing that matters and China is not innovative. It’s functioning as a huge factory for the rest of the world, and making lots of money and influence in process, but for the world it can be replaced, while the world can’t be replaced for China.

              Autarky is not possible for China. It could have had a chance at that 20-15 years ago, but it’s gone.

              Especially with its demographic and political tendencies.

      So China wants to be nuked by the US because of not backing down with their aggression in this case?

      Some of the Chinese nukes would be shot down in such a course of events - there are systems like THAAD. AFAIK China doesn’t have anything similar, so the response strike is going to be more efficient.

      There’s no rule or law preventing two Chinese states from existing on one planet. You pretending otherwise doesn’t change anything.
