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?

    That wasn’t my point.

    The west only cares about TSMC and not the island or the common people of Taiwan. If Taiwan didn’t have TSMC, the west wouldn’t give two shits about the island.

      And China only cares about Taiwan for the land and the image it projects of “reunifying China”. They don’t care about the people in Taiwan since a vast majority don’t want to be invaded by China.

      Look at how well the Hong Kong “reunification” went.
