Taiwan's participation/admittance to UN signifies independence. Non-support of Taiwan's participation is useful leverage for other nations when they need to negotiate any agreements with China. It's the classic Taiwan card. Besides, it's not the first time PRC has paid for countries to maintain one-china policy. Some African nations even brazenly asked and received money for not recognizing Taiwan.

According to Jing can rong (金灿荣), influential Chinese IR expert, China pays 300 billion RMB every year for other countries' non recognition of Taiwan. This is from his official youtube channel


Unfortunately, the talk is in Mandarin. The relevant part starts at 7:45 where he talks about the economical cost of not getting Taiwan back.

For members that understand Mandarin, the entire video is pretty useful as it lists ten benefits of Taiwan's return across from many areas including ideology, scientific development, geopolitics, military and economy.


Your unit conversion is wrong. 亿 in chinese means hundred million, so 300亿 is 30billion RMB.

Look around and read 美国反对美国 (America Against America)by 王沪宁 -- Wang Huning recorded his observations in a memoir that would become his most famous work: the 1991 book "America Against America". Observations from spending six months in the United States as a visiting scholar in 1988. Profoundly curious about America, Wang took full advantage, wandering about the country, visiting more than 30 cities and nearly 20 universities. What he found deeply disturbed him, permanently shifting his view of the West and the consequences of its ideas. In 1988 Wang became Fudan University’s youngest full professor at age 30. This is a book that many read in China to learn about the U.S. They may not be so naive nowadays as the outside world perceive them.

Biden was planning to do this exact same thing if Xi planned to go to meet with Biden personally. That's how they declare the US is in a stronger position. Everything they need China for something like on the environment, that makes them look weak so to counter that they have lay in an insult and or action against China at the same time. It's no different when any leader of China comes to visit the US, all of the sudden all these news stories bashing China show up in the media revealing something new or rehashing old stories to be new because American have already forgotten about it from before. This is what Trump was complaining about the news media where they would hold on to stories until they can use it for occasions where it will embarrass Trump even further.

How can this happened in supapowah america?
I thought this kind of tragedy only happened in third world countries?
One small step away from full on cannalbalism, in the US the top 1% is eating the bottom 99% and soon the 99% are going to start eating each other. Did you see that one senator trying to get bill passed to have 14 year olds work to 10pm or something....
