Protests against rising electricity prices in Italy. This is how police in "democratic" Europe treat protestors! People do not want to pay out of their own pockets for the anti-Russian sanctions and get a stick on the head for it.

This is European "democracy" now.

Just have the media "accidentally" repost this as CCP CRUSH HK, everything will be fine again

Now I agree that China should expand its nuclear arsenal if doing so can ward off a war between China and the US.

What I have a problem with is the view that:

1. PR is dead, and
2. China will have the time to grow until it completely outmatches the US

I think these two statements are contradictory. I think AR will happen if the US provokes a war before (in their view) China grows more powerful than the US. If that fails to materialize, and China does indeed grow to outmatch the US, then PR is the more likely possibility.
Indeed, PR is a manifestation of power and wealth, which the US still posseses and is the top dog for the time being.

I'm not a Chinese strategic planner so I don't see why my opinion should hold any weight. My own feeling is that should this happen in the immediate future (which I consider a very remote possibility), China should take military action to at least restore the status quo ante.
So all it would take for you to support immediate reunification is for America to instigate the Taiwanese....which they could easily do.

I thought you were saying China wasn't ready yet and needs to wait 20 years.

I didn't express support for immediate AR; read what I write as I mean what I say and choose my words carefully. I said I think in such a circumstance China should take military action to at least restore the status quo ante, which is a weaker condition than AR.

As for readiness, it depends what you mean by "ready". Is China ready to wage WWIII against America? No. Is it ready to deter Taiwan from declaring independence or wage war to restore the previous state of affairs should deterrence fail? Absolutely.

So when?
