    This again? Taiwan isn't a recognized country. So they would not be interfering with a nation. IF you disagree with that, petition your own country to recognize Taiwan. The funniest thing is I'm Taiwanese and frankly the Taiwanese don't want independence at this point. That's why the Taiwanese congress is majority status quo and about 50/50 on independence and actually returning to China. The reason president Lai won is because the split is so strong that a 40% vote for Lai got him the win. A few more from the people who wanted status quo voted for him instead of Hou at 34%. Yet if you saw what congress did immediately after, which is handcuff him from ever declaring independence, you'll know the will of the Taiwanese.

    So all that is to say, no China won't be attacking Taiwan either. That's just nonsense noise from the west, which frankly I as a Taiwanese person is absolutely sick of. The agreement is simple, Taiwan doesn't declare independence and China will at most saber rattle.

      Still what? I've already explained China isn't attacking. And if you would like Taiwan to be independent petition your own government.

        • China’s finance ministry on Friday said it will impose a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the U.S. starting on April 10.
        • The ministry criticized Washington’s decision to impose 34% of additional reciprocal levies on China — bringing total U.S. tariffs against the country to 54% — as “inconsistent with international trade rules.”
        • U.S. stock futures and European markets fell sharply on news of the reciprocal tariffs.

                Now that USA will spiral down to deep depression, it’s going to be much easier to get the people behind whatever plan comes next.

                So, how about you build a new empire, invade neighboring countries, commit war crimes left and right, and start exterminating people who don’t fit your arbitrary criteria. Germany tried that and it everything worked out perfectly.

                Oh, wait…

                Well anyway. I’m out of ideas.

                  Good news, or bad news depending on how self reliant your government is. China is doing exactly what it promised it would do if they were the sole super power. Which is we will not interfere with your nation no matter the situation.

                  So if your like Thailand, or Brazil, wonderful. You get to keep all your freedom and autonomy and China will happily trade with you.

                  If your Myanmar or Sudan, well good luck revolutionaries. There's no America to stand in your way of overtaking your government. If your the governments of these nations...

                                I don't think user comments are typically blocked, just communities. Which is fine with me, I don't have a problem with every single user on instances I have blocked.

                                  Your comment history certainly doesn’t paint you as a Taiwanese individual. More as an American who is desperate to make China look as good as possible…

                                    If they keep that promise, that's mostly good news IMO. Interference doesn't always go so well.
                                    I think Afghanistan is a good example, we were there for 20 years, trying to establish democracy. And now they are right back where they were 20 years ago.
                                    We can't keep policing such countries indefinitely. This is a link of our (Denmark) losses, as a small country that helped the UN effort.
                                    https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danske_tab_i_Afghanistan_siden_2002

                                    It's horrible how they treat their own population, but we can't control the entire Muslim world. And all Muslim dominated countries are horrible AFAIK. So I'm good with staying out, as long as they don't create trouble here. Problem is that they do, sometimes for stupid religious reasons.

                                        Still what? I've already explained China isn't attacking. And if you would like Taiwan to be independent petition your own government.

                                        That's a bad take. Independence should be in the view of the people living there. I'm not going to gauge if Taiwan is a country based on if I can convince the US to recognize them, that's nonsense garbage logic
