I’m not Chinese, so I don’t pretend to understand (and some may consider me ineligible to even comment). However, the single-minded focus on Taiwan seems myopic, both geographically and temporally, to me.
You dont have to be Chinese to comment here. We are not against others to comment on China's issues. In fact it's welcome and sought as it adds to our understanding and knowledge.
What I, and perhaps others here object to is certain members (i think we all know who we talking about) here comment on China's issues with a bias stance (which is ok and expected) but in so doing twisting facts to suit his narratives and ignores evidence that goes against what he believes.
The very recent out break of this can be seen in various threads in the last couple of days. Hus mind bending abilities would win gold in any Olympics.
I’m not ignorant of this significance; what I find perplexing is the neglect of multiple and various other potential contingencies. Though Taiwan may be the primary concern, it certainly shouldn’t be the sole concern. “Five Eyes”, no matter how near-sighted, can look at five objectives.
I'm not sure what nationality are You. But I'm willing to guess your nationality have never been subjected to occupation, and annexation.
In order to understand the Chinese mindset, it's the fact that Taiwan was annexed by Japan, and not kept us apart by the U.S. whereas even in Germany, after being apart, they are together again.
But as pointed out earlier, the strategic value is immense for China. So clearly this is why is important to China.
But China are not myopic aboit this. China could happily continue like this for sometime to come providing no provocation. And here's the killer punch. The U.S. and its lackies knows this, and as such it is their modus operandi to keep poking at Taiwan to antagonize China.
China has to respond, even if it just a protest. Which gives an impression China is myopic on the issue of Taiwan.
Armada of Democracies huh? More like Armada of the Desperate Imperialists.
Does India wanna join that list? It'll definitely confirm them as yet another imperialist. Although in India's case, it's more a pretender than an actual imperial power.
China could test out and punish those Indian ships. To set a good example. To see how good that Quad is worth.
Armada of the unwilling imperialists plus one wannabe more like.
We'll allow the Jai Hind crowd to get a 20-minute high after watching this fake-news propaganda, then they'll return to burning their dead family and friends, and wonder how they're gonna to pay for all that cremation.
Please read breaking news thread regarding this: suffice to say if they are not dying from Covid. They will killed them themselves.
The fact that certain media chooses to deliberately disregard this fact, by using such words as "illegal" claim, shows that they are trying to make a case out of nothing to fit their agenda.
Exactly, the MSM even go as far as mentioning:
"International court"
"In the Hague"
Some even mentioned "UN"
All to add legitimacy to it's readers.
