    Yeah okay sure whatever.

    I too also vow ‘reunification’ with all the girls in high school who rejected me.

  3. West Taiwan & East Taiwan will reunite again!

    One day… like North & South Korea… in one of the coming centuries…

    He’s been honking that horn every-time he opens his mouth. Still, better not become complacent.

  5. “Reunification” is such bullshit. The PRC never ruled Taiwan. There is nothing to reunify.

  6. Soon the Rebellious Eastern Chinese provinces will liberated from the communist running dogs.

  7. Every great leader knows that timing large scale complex military operations to conclude on anniversaries is the height of strategy and warfare.

  8. China has the largest land mass of any country. They could do whatever they wanted with what they have, if they didn’t have to fuck everything up with whatever version of politics they run with that requires them to import innovation and higher education. Why not just do that (experiment with different economic zones and modes of productivity) instead of bodysnatching Taiwan etc?

  9. Whenever I hear stuff like this, it reminds me of a stalker ex trying to get back with their ex, who wants nothing to do with them.

    IIRC, I watched a video by William Spaniel or some other such geopolitical analyst who said that an invasion of Taiwan would make the landing at Normandy look like a field day. Probably the bloodiest battle in history.

  11. “Blood is thicker than water, and people on both sides of the strait are connected by blood,”

    So i assume this means they also want all the other places with notable ethnic chinese populations, e.g. Singapore?
