Xi Jinping told Donald Trump during a phone call on Monday that Taiwan’s “return to China” is a key part of the post-war international order, state news agency Xinhua reported.
“China and the United States once fought side by side against fascism and militarism, and should now work together to safeguard the outcomes of World War Two,” Xi was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
China regards Taiwan as part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to take control of it, though the island’s government rejects Beijing’s claim and says only Taiwan’s people can decide their future.
“Return to China” doesn’t even make sense from a historical standpoint. Xi must have studied under the same history professor as Putin.
It’s almost as if Putin just called him and said “Ok, this is what you say to get American support for invading your neighbor.”
Bro, okay, let me give you a five hour lecture on the last thousand years of Russian history and everything will be crystal clear.
Bro, where are you going?
What? China acting like an Imperialist Dictstorship? But that’s only something that happens in disgusting capitalist Western nations, never in glorious, Communist China!
/s, before I’m mistaken for one of the Tankies that are, I am sure, about to blow up this thread.
God the tankie posts on her are insufferable trash.
“But…but… China hasn’t been on a war in 40 years!”
Bring up the border conflicts with India and pissing off Vietnam and Philippines in South China, and threatening to invade Taiwan, and watch tankies give you cricket noises instead.
Xi understands that Trump is a stupid man and they think they can manipulate him into doing something stupid to advance their interests, which, honestly, they probably can, unless he just does something so stupid that it backfires. Everything’s a gamble with Trump.
China really believes Taiwan wouldn’t raze and go scorched earth on their economic assets before being captured? The only thing China will take from the Taiwanese is a bare island or some houses.
Leave them alone, you have enough already.
