Reunification ‘is unstoppable’, says Chinese president, a day after the conclusion of intense military drills

Thoughts?

Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

    Except that was a peaceful process, not an invasion/annexation

    The only invasion I’m seeing is US Navy vessels encircling the island and threatening their economy.

    they hold a gun to the head of pretty much all of the most advanced chip fabrication in the world

    That’s been the American line for going on ten years. But the real gun has always been the Pacific Fleet, threatening to repeat the crimes of Vietnam on Chinese civilians, much like they did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and now Venezuela and Nigeria.

      Saying this on the same day that Chinese warships encircled Taiwan.
