    Love how you can see the US lobbing missiles at Iran right now while China is doing none of that, and never analyze why one is doing that and the other isn’t.

      Their counterargument to this usually is that China will eventually, see inevitably, invade Taiwan one day. Their whole imperialism claim is founded on the hypothetical and uncertain supposition that, in an unspecified time in the future, the PRC is going to invade the unrecognized Chinese government (aided and maintained by the imperialist West) that is Taiwan.

        Hopefully China fucking levels every Taiwanese military base and murders every imperialist soldier in there in a pile of their shit, puke and guts. Usually I’m just honest with them and say “Good.”

          China is playing the long game. Eventually, the people of Taiwan will elect a pro-PRC leaning government and will be reunited with the mainland thru osmosis. Like all capitalist countries, Taiwan is suffering a cost of living crisis, high housing costs, and high unemployment, so there is an outflow of the educated young, across the strait to the PRC.

            I’m not sure I agree with the idea that a Pro-PRC will be elected, pr at least I don’t think that would be the cause, ad much as I think the Taiwanese bourgeoisie will eventually recognize that reuniting with China will be more benifecial than falling on the sword for the US.

            That would undeniably lead to a pro-PRC election result due to the nature of bourgeois democracies, but I digress.

            If someone says this view is misguided please correct me so I may learn.

            Don’t think America will allow that. We know what America does.
