BBC: Xi Jinping says Taiwan 'must and will be' reunited with China
Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged the people of Taiwan to accept it "must and will be" reunited with China.
In a speech marking 40 years since the start of improving ties, he reiterated Beijing's call for peaceful unification on a one-country-two-systems basis.
However, he also warned that China reserved the right to use force.
While Taiwan is self-governed and de facto independent, it has never formally declared independence from the mainland.

This is what happens when you economically empower, and thusly militarily empower a bellicose adversary with opposing values. You can mainly thank leftist globalist economic peace theory idiots and institutions.
ReplyDeleteHave no idea what you are muttering about. Last I heard of it, Nixon had opened China to the world...all that came after and up till now is the result...don't like what you call globalist whatever, do not get anything via Home Depot or made outside the country. Oh, but you will, won't you?
ReplyDeleteps: name calling is part of the tirade of Deplorables
The argument was plain english, and easy to deconstruct. Never said that he didn't do that. Not even implied it actually. My argument was against what is keeping the arrangement going, and what is responsible for that. If you can't keep up with the conversation, best you keep seated and not join.
ReplyDeleteps: Being an emotionally charged leftist is part of the incoherent tirade of deplorables.
See how that works?

So China was not open to Russia, North Korea, North Vietnam, the East bloc before then?
Fucking Amazing!
