Reunification ‘is unstoppable’, says Chinese president, a day after the conclusion of intense military drills

Thoughts?

Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

    The only invasion I’m seeing is US Navy vessels encircling the island and threatening their economy.

    I must be going colorblind because those ships are flying a very red American flag…

    repeat the crimes of Vietnam on Chinese civilians, much like they did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and now Venezuela and Nigeria

    Lol wtf? Unless you really bought dubya’s WMD bullshit, one of these countries is not like the others… I really doubt that any Chinese civilian on Chinese soil is going to get so much as a dirty look from any US armed forces…

      You’re spitting distance from the coast of Fujain. I gotta wonder why you’d expect to see an American warship on the Chinese coastline.

      Unless…

      Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers USS Antietam (CG 54) and USS Chancellorsville (CG 62) are conducting a routine Taiwan Strait transit August 28 (local time) through waters where high seas freedoms of navigation and overflight apply in accordance with international law.

      Crazy how it’s international waters when an American warship is in them.

      I really doubt that any Chinese civilian on Chinese soil is going to get so much as a dirty look from any US armed forces…
