China's... not so wrong with this one. Under the previous KMT government, Taiwan-China relations were normalizing (not to the degree of reunification, but to the degree that conflict wasn't really on the horizon anymore because of the economic harm it would cause). The DPP has taken a strongly anti-China stance and the result has been escalating tensions... All while bilateral trade across the strait continues to grow.
It's reasonable for any country to be "anti-china" when they are being targeted like Taiwan is. China speaks constantly of invasion and frequently violates Taiwans airspace for practice runs of an invasion. Spinning it as Taiwans fault is mindless propaganda
me violating "Taiwan's" airspace when I throw a paper airplane out of the window in Wenzhou, lmao
Also Taiwan isn't recognized as a country by pretty much ...anyone. No one in BRICS+, in the Global South, hell even no one in the
recognizes the island's "independence". Calling it an "encroachment on sovereignty" is like calling me trifling through my German-made refrigerator looking for noms a "violation of German sovereignty".
Sigh - you are not throwing paper airplanes over the Taiwan strait which is roughly 100 miles over the water. Please educate yourself on what China's military is doing. And do you think some poll on who sides with China VS Taiwan on sovereignty matters is relevant?
Taiwan strongly rejects reunification, Chinese rule, and increasingly view themselves as Taiwanese. Why dont you consider their aspirations instead of enabling authoritarian countries to harass and intimidate?
Oh please enlighten us, Mr 'educated on what China's military is doing'; tell us all about these "violations of Tiawans airspace practicing an invasion."
Yikes, defensive much? This isnt hard to find but sure - https://chinapower.csis.org/analysis/2022-adiz-violations-china-dials-up-pressure-on-taiwan/
I take it you didn't even bother to read your own article, because nowhere in it does it mention China violating Taiwan's airspace.
That or you're being deliberately dishonest.
