Summary
Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated in his New Year’s speech that Taiwan’s “reunification” with China is inevitable.
China has escalated military activity around Taiwan, including frequent incursions near the island and sanctions on U.S.-linked companies over arms sales to Taipei.
Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te rejected Beijing’s claims, stating Taiwan’s future can only be decided by its people.
Lai also criticized China’s restrictions on travel and education exchanges with Taiwan, calling for dignified, reciprocal relations based on goodwill and equality.
Pooh wants his hunny
Seems more like he wants someone elses hunny.
He been saying stuff like this for many years… especially China’s red lines “don’t visit Taiwan or else…” and nothing happens.
Gotta keep up moral and focus away from things like their economy that’s going down 👎
Common sense be damned, they’ve got a grudge to settle!
*Excited Putin noises
That feel when people here do not realize their own government likely says Taiwan is part of China.
Definitely not something an imperialist would say.
Didn’t have Occupied China stepping down and recognizing the legitimate government in Taiwan on my 2025 bingo card
This will somehow be treated differently than Gaza
I mean, he is not wrong
Mainland Taiwan will join Taiwan eventually you’re right
How do you know?
No one did shit to Russia other than some easily avoidable sanctions. China attacks the US daily in the form of cyberattacks and nothing happens.
If they went and took Taiwan tomorrow the world would condemn it very hard on social media and that’s about it, hell, they even did it before with Hong Kong and no one cared.
So… you seriously perceive the lack of response to one event to mean it’s a green light for everything?
Man, I hope you people don’t ever become in charge of anything important.
I hope too, I would never want to be in charge of anything, even in my house I prefer for my wife to be in charge.
I also hope I’m very wrong, I don’t think I am but I hope.
I really don’t think the Crimea or the Hong Kong method is going to work this time.
But if it actually did work, then yeah you might be right.
If it comes to an all out military invasion, though, you can bet that shit is not going to go uncontested.
“Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.”
You mean… “Reunified.” Think of it like Russia’s “special military operation” only with less genocide.
Bit rapey.
I worry for the future generations of Taiwan and Ukraine. Trump’s going to just shrug and let them die.
Okay, West Taiwan.
Sounds like something south Canada would say.
Don’t do that.
Don’t give me hope.
You mean North Mexico?
Not North America?
Oh wait…
Get the sentiment, but just a friendly reminder that most Taiwanese people don’t love the “West Taiwan” meme as it props up the outdated idea that Taiwan wants to make a claim to China, when the vast majority are in favor of just being left alone. This isn’t two aggressors laying claim to each other, it’s one threatening the other.
chaser behavior
she already said no, what the heck why are you still trying
The quickest way to do this is for the CCP to surrender to the ROC.
