  • Right. Reactionary. That must be why china is requiring that all civilian ferries are capable of RORO of tank sized vehicles and why they’re building massive landing barges capable of handling landing on Taiwan’s rocky coasts.

    Taiwan has every right to be concerned with an invasion because it’s what china keeps saying.

    So, no, you don’t get to wave your propaganda wand and make a very real issue go away.


  • I am familiar with the history of the ROC, but let’s be real - Taiwan has existed as an independent nation for a long time now and those land claims are bogus.

    Those military drills are also literally in Taiwan to help prepare for a chinese invasion of their land. What a weird thing to compare to what China is doing.




  • Stay on topic - China is literally surrounding Taiwan with multiple military exercises, making threatening comments, intentionally ramming ships with their ‘coast guard’ in other another country’s territory, making imperialistic claims to territory that doesn’t belong to them in the south china sea; they are an imperialistic aggressor and these actions should be called out just like the inexcusable US actions should be called out. Neither is acceptable and I absolutely call out the US too. I’m not even anti-communist; I’m anti-imperialist and authoritarian. Something that unfortunately you tankies put together in one package and are unwilling to critically think about.

    Btw, China has absolutely engaged in military action in the past 50 years and you need to educate yourself.

    Who said anything about being the same? Israel is the worst offender in the world.

    China is planning for an invasion of Taiwan, so they’re certainly putting together a backup plan in case Taiwan doesn’t agree to become part of China. Doesn’t seem like they’d need that sort of thing if they were being truly peaceful.

    It’s also things like your analysis being “flies a plane near a country” that is a sign you aren’t being adequately critical of china and I question your seriousness and reasons.

    I mean, seriously, look at this map and tell me how you consider this “peaceful”:

    The fact you think china is pursuing peaceful unification kind of outs you. They are not giving Taiwan a choice; comply or face death.

    Also I want all nations to behave better, especially Israel and the US right now. I don’t generally think China is bad and the people certainly are not, but bad actions should be called out and criticized regardless of who you are. That’s how we become better people.
