    LMAO, China can just blockade the province and the economy there would crash overnight.

    The only real metric to determine whether Taiwan is part of China is to ask the people who live there. And guess what, this is what they say:

    Yeah, I agree, especially after all the NED sponsored propagandists are kicked out. Meanwhile, even despite US having a massive presence in Taiwanese media, the only reason DPP got in power was using first past the post mechanic.

    Latest polling shows that vast majority of people want to maintain the status quo:

      I think the word “just” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

      Do you honestly think a military blockade is the way to get people on the side of your cause?

      after all the NED sponsored propagandists are kicked out

      “After all the people I disagree with are got rid of” Do you honestly think that makes you the good guy? Removing political opponents is the methodology of authoritarians.

      You claim international law on one hand as if it means something and then threaten with the big stick with the other.

      Put simply, you’re an asshole.

        I don’t think that at all, and that’s why China hasn’t resorted to this option.

        Entire books have been written explaining in great detail how media is used to manipulate public opinion, and here you are bleating about AuThoRiTarIanS. 🤡

        You claim international law on one hand as if it means something and then threaten with the big stick with the other.

        Not sure what the contradiction in your mind is of a country enforcing its laws within its borders. You’ll have to enlighten us on this fascinating political theory of yours.

        Put simply, you’re an asshole.

        Put simply, you’re a cheap propagandist without a shred of intellectual honesty.

          Quoting for posterity. I think your last line really hits the nail on the head, though. Your projection has called you out.

          I’m not American nor have any loyalty to the Western hegemony. I’m an anarchist living in a country with its own independence movement attempting to get out from the boot of colonialism.

          When you’re finished your work for the day propagandising, I hope you go home and think on your morality. Think on who you are as a person. Is defending Chinese bullying, violence, and threat really the best thing you can be doing with your life?

            Anarchists are just edgy liberals, thanks for confirming that once again in this thread.

            Hope you’ll take your own advice, but we both know you won’t. Clearly defending US colonialism is how you choose to spend your life. Peak anarchism right there.
