Have you... Read the official KMT policy?

Taiwan is not the DPP and the DPP is not Taiwan. The fact that everyone in the West seems to think this is the case is a product of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in "speaker fees" to US politicians and influential people visiting Taiwan.

Not addressing the point because you know it's indefensible. Don't care what everyone in the west may or may not think, I live in Taiwan.

KMT policy is literally that they are represent the government of all of the Chinese territories. Come on, man.

And why do you think that is? Do you seriously think anyone in Taiwan is that deluded they believe they can ever take back China? The CCP have been very clear that as soon as Taiwan revokes that claim they will be invaded. They have a gun to their head. Come on yourself, this is frankly an embarrassing take.

The DPP has literally already asserted this claim. You cannot allow the US to conduct FONOPS through the Taiwan Strait without declaring independence because under UNCLOS, if Taiwan was Chinese then the Taiwan Strait would be territorial waters.

Where's the invasion?

This constant gish galloping must be getting tiring even for you. The fact that you don't address any of the issues speaks volumes. I don't really have the luxury of philosophising abour the CCPs threats or them shooting missiles around where my family lives so I'm out at this point. Clearly anything is permissible according to you so I don't see much point continuing. Enjoy the safety of you and your family not being constantly threatened by power hungry children.

Have you tried living with the US?

The US doesn't even hide it. They tear apart Canadian industries (see: Bombardier), they rip up trade agreements (see: NAFTA), they fund right-wing extremists in Canada (see: Freedom convoy), they dump millions of dollars into "independent Canadian think tanks" (see: MLI and the Fraser Institute), they bribe Canadian officials with cushy jobs after public service (see: Stephen Harper and the IDU), and they're overall a massive contributor to the decline of Canada as an independent nation with independent policy. Oh, and they constantly push for free trade that seeks to displace Canadian corporations with American ones so that they can offshore all the profits.
