How anyone serious can side with taiwan, other than maybe some nazis, is beyond me.
Well most of Taiwan is ready to unify, it's mostly the ruling class propped up by the US opposed to it. With the issues they have created for Taiwanese semiconductor companies there are probably even former loyalists ready to turn tail and run.
It's really the US - which can only dream of a war across the Pacific now - which wants a military confrontation. Mainland China will become too lucrative for Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea to ignore the more the US financial stranglehold starts to slip & China develops. Peaceful reunification is inevitable and war is merely possible now
I get why government opposing china would, what I dont get is regular people who are serious about this. Sure there is the propagandized herd, but even some smarter people I know seem to have weird sinophobic preconceptions about this. All europeans.
Hong Kong turned out totally fine after that went back to China right? So much freedom of speech and movement over there now.
They're completely fine lmao, literally just go and visit hong kong and macao.
Now they are no longer ruled by a racist monarchy on the other side of the world. Finally. Death to the gammon empire
Ah you're still jerking off to those protestors burning people alive are you? Reddit during the heyday of the Hong Kong riots was probably your gig
Well what exactly did they lose? (im aware of the repression, but what exactly do you mean) Not to say this is completely legal. The western backed protests did their part, make cpc look bad. But compared to LA for example shooting with rubber of foreign journalists, holding a protester down and repeatedly trampling him with a horse, unmarked ice illegaly detaining brown people. Common argument i read was that these illegals and aliens should not behave like this in MY country. Freedom of speech. Meh I agree western democracy is different.
