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?

    Taiwan wasn’t even part of the civil war you use as the basis of your argument. It wasn’t even part of the ROC until the allies gave it to be under the administration of the ROC, sovereignty to be decided at a later date peacefully, following the UN Charter.

    Framing this as a frozen civil war is ridiculous, but it’s the only way the PRC has some claim to Taiwan.

      I read the first sentence and stopped. Not worth reading the rest and does not deserve an actual reply.
