Right, you're saying that in hindsight.

When a tyrannous dictator preaches reunification as a descriptor when outlining their future plans the context changes a bit. Hope that helps :)

That's pure speculation on your part. Xi specifically stated the goal is peaceful reunification.

speculation

Well when all the direct quotes I read don't match the history I have to speculate on what XI really means.

He said he wants to reunify Taiwan, he didn't send me a PDF of his specific strategy.

You're speculating that it will be peaceful with the same logic.

I still remember what was happening in Taiwan just a few days before COVID hit. Do you?

The entire idea of reunification is that it is supported by the will of the people. I'm not speculating that it will be peaceful, I'm just pointing out what Xi said. You claiming that he's lying is speculation.

You claiming I'm speculating is also speculation. Take your semantic garbage and share it with someone who can respect your thoughts.

Your speculating that I'm speculating is also speculation! You are the one whomst engages in frantic semantic antics!

Don't be mad cuz you're wrong. Xi Jinping stated that he has plans to peacefully reunify Taiwan and China. How you want to interpret that is up to you, but the media wants you to interpret "peaceful reunification" as "violent invasion." If you want to believe that, that's on you.

I think China is more than capable of reunification of Taiwan peacefully and invading would be a real dumb idea. Also, according to their own news, only 48.9% of the Taiwanese people support national Independence. So there's definitely a possibility of China winning the people over.

If you believe that then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. In fact it's 2 for 1, but only if you buy by midnight!

Uhm, isn't a bridge the means of producing safe travel across a span? You should get the wall for owning means of production.

Did they say how? Peace would be preferred, but the Taiwanese need to be willing to cooperate.

The Kuomintang party is willing to cooperate, while the Democratic party is not
