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?

I understand your point, but they seem to have subjugated Hong Kong pretty successfully. I would agree with you more if that hadn't recently happened.

    Hong Kong is a small tax haven - Taiwan is a full independent country. I really think we've past the point where physical annexation can work with guerilla warfare and sabotage being so easily accessible in this day and age. I think CCP agrees that's why it'll take a decade to wear Taiwan down still
