Unless they plan to drop some bombs over our heads I don’t see how WW3 with the US involved would result in better accomodations for the ruzzians.
I’m a lazy gunless asshole typing away from my couch. But if some grade a asshole from ruzzia came to bother me, I probably could easily run downstairs and grab any one of many power tools capable of removing ruzzians body parts.
I believe the Ukrainian defense is going to kick ruzzians ass pretty good. Hopefully soon we’ll see putin coming out of a smokey hole in the ground on a grainy YouTube video. putin is the real reason for the war. Removing him might bring up a few more people like him, but those can be removed since the public won’t be behind them.
Everything except for the Taiwan reunification getting closer is pretty hard to disagree with though, the US might end up making it happen much sooner than expected, just not in a way that’s favorable to anyone involved.
In the long term, reunification is pretty inevitable; just by virtue of the US being a failing empire, china will eventually offer them a deal so much better than what the west can offer that it won’t be refused.
China won’t offer a deal; currently in China it is really heavily promoted on China’s own social media for a war towards Taiwan to “leave the island but no one will be survived” ( 留島不留人) while promoting to the foreign country that peace is the only way to handle conflict
I can only assume that is directed to American troops on Taiwan, since the Taiwan residents are still PRC citizens.
No, they are targeting on every Taiwanese people that includes normal citizens. And you said “Taiwan residents are PRC citizens”, lol do you even know Chinese/Taiwan politics?
That seems unlikely, what exactly are they trying to reunify with? A few rocks and beaches in the pacific ocean?
Resources. Also to Xi, this is a really important milestone that he actually wants to do while he is still at the place.
C’mon, that’s absurd, if the PRC wanted to murder everyone living in the RoC they wouldn’t be letting them travel freely to and from the mainland.
You wouldn’t have similar numbers of people supporting immediate independence and eventual reunification on Taiwan.
They are the frogs got baited into the Luke-warm water; once they are in the water, they gonna turn on the heat. The bait is getting hard recently with Xinjiang Travel incident (cannot find English news, this is the Chinese one: https://www.rfa.org/cantonese/news/htm/tw-youtuber-xinjiang-08272024072943.html). While trying to fina a news link, accidentally clicking in a so-called Xinjiang Travel vlog, and holy shit it is filled with Chinese bots….
Also, I read your article, and your comparison is weird; the graph inside already shows 31.5% for leaning towards independence and only 7.4% towards reunion in 2021
You know Radio Free Asia is literally funded by the CIA? It is the very definition of non-credible.
The graph shows the overwhelming majority want the status quo for now, with only ~10% wanting immediate independence. That portion would be a lot higher, and the “reunification now+eventually” segments would be almost zero if China’s ambition was genocidal.
