    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.
