I suppose if there's any remaining (pro-US/pro-West) doves in the CPC party ranks, they would all be purged, sooner or later.
So, what do you guys think China should do to counter this? These bills, once passed, will be directly challenging the Shanghai Communique and openly violating the One China Principle.
These series of actions can only mean one thing - It is only be a matter of time before either Washington DC orders Taipei to declare their former independence from China, or Washington DC would do it themselves. Then China would be forced to act.
This is also the reason why I don't really agree whenever people say "time is on China's side" and "the initiative on the reunification of Taiwan is on Beijing's side". Problem is, what if the US-led West intends on denying Beijing those two leverages by acting first? Is Beijing going to let Taiwan officially slip out of its control and become a formally independent and sovereign country without doing anything in response, and letting its territorial integrity and sovereignty be trampled upon?
