Fourth Taiwan Strait Crisis

Abominable said:

The more anti-China your regime becomes, the more Taiwanese will suffer. It's already been announced that once reunification occurs PLA will no longer pledge not to deploy a garrison on the Island. That's a decision I agree with and I think it was insanely generous to allow the Taiwanese regime that much freedom in the past. Next up will probably be an insistence on changes to the Taiwanese constitution.

1. Establish PLAAF and PLAN bases in Taiwan
2. No 1C2S. Taiwan to be directly integrated into and governed from Fujian Province
3. Nationalization of key Taiwanese companies like TSMC, Foxconn, MediaTek etc
4. Liquidation of all separatist and IJA elements (folks like Tsai should be locked up in solitary confinement for life, but not executed, lest the CPC martyrs them)
5. Intense resinicization campaign with overhaul of national curriculum to reflect patriotic education campaign instituted on Mainland

apology for slightly off the topic
Not sure if I learnt was correct, but what I heard is that in compare with new drugs, even ice, Opium isn't that attractive
so seriously, I don't understand, it's not that hard to get some real hardcore drug in the US right? how come fentanyl become such a large issue?
someone can please educate me

Wet dream of mine is that Taiwan will be merged into Fujian and the new provincial capital will be at Pingtan, with a undersea tunnel to taiwan

Going by previous pattern there should be some kind of unequal treaty somewhere down the line shouldn't it?
You know like lists of demands and stuff.

"Now "Chasing the Dragon" geopolitically and drugwise is in store as American/Canadian /Brits/West appetite for illegal drugs is is simply immense and hasn't abated one little bit.Down the line is ,Special Concessions in every major city with stationing of Special Police answerable only to their Consul General,stationing of a gunboat(type 022 FAC) in your major waterways, and my favourite :Extraterritorality where "my people"can rob,rape,murder,cheat your citizens at will without ANY legal consequences,forbidding of lawful ,patriotic organizations ,no military industries without foreign "consultation"Sounds awful doesn't it.China isn't going to do this -your own western societies will implode as violence,black,brown,white gangs vie for control and establish "no-go-zones" for police and honest men. A self-goal from Hell.

South Park did it first

At this point, the best thing would be for the US Navy to blockade the port of San Francisco and the German Navy to blockade the port of Rotterdam, thus saving fuel and making the blockade more effective.

Even compared to other drugs, opioids are very addictive. I heard it described it as "once you take your first shot, you are an addict".

As to why fentanyl has become so popular, it's very potent so only a small amount is needed. The same reason heroin became popular over opium. Unlike heroin it's 100% legal in America and most countries. People have it prescribed in the UK and then use it to make illegal heroin more potent. In America the problem is much worse because doctors and hospitals have a financial incentive to prescribe it.

A few years ago there was the exact same problem with oxycodone. I don't recall anyone blaming China for that.

Countdown to the USA sailing warships down the Taiwan Straight, then?

Any news on when they intend to carry it out?

"China says Taiwan military drills are over after Pelosi visit"

As far as Pelosi's visit goes, I would say the drills were enough of a response. however I believe and I hope that China will use the visit as an excuse to reunify in this year as soon as possible. this is a golden opportunity that should not be wasted, European economies have become an absolute sh*t show, the Europeans are a threat to no one but themselves at this point and the US is damaged but to a less extent than Europe. Plus regaining Taiwan will help give China several years worth of a boost in it's semiconductor industry. China needs to gain Taiwan while the enemy is week before the US/EU recover and before the US hollows out Taiwan of all of it's tech.
