Dude might be disgruntled due to the LGBT-ization of the military.
LOL. Talk is cheap. They can say whatever they want until the moment bombs drop from the sky. Of course he does not dare to declare independence. He knows what's coming to him if he does. Meanwhile, the number of their "countries with diplomatic relationships" keeps shrinking.
Yep China relies on its strength of economy and military to convince other countries that Taiwan is part of PRC. Same as how the USA keeps other countries from recognizing Califonia and Texas as independent nations. People around the global just have to live with it.

India can accuse China whatever they want, but they will not catch China anytime soon.
It's such a bunch of mumble jumble, considering that neither 182 out of 195 countries in the world nor the UN recognizes Taiwan's "independence".
What can an Army sergeant possibly spy for China? The LGBTQ+ situation in the Army?
China's "debt trap" in Sri Lanka:
In case there any doubt whatsoever about why Huawei was banned:
Canada's Five Eyes allies were disappointed that Canadian police were unable to stop companies from selling encrypted phones to criminals, an RCMP witness told the trial of a former intelligence official charged with breaching Canada's secrets law earlier this week.
Retired RCMP staff sergeant Guy Belley testified over two days this week about "Project Saturation," an RCMP investigation launched in response to concerns among Canada's intelligence allies about Canadian companies selling encrypted communications devices to transnational organized crime operations.
The Five Eyes is an intelligence-sharing alliance made up of the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Belley's testimony came as the Crown continued to present its case against Cameron Ortis, a former RCMP intelligence director accused of leaking sensitive information to police targets.
According to the agreed statement of facts in Ortis's case, Project Saturation was meant to provide an intelligence assessment of Canadian companies and individuals linked to sales of encrypted phones, including the British Columbia-based firm Phantom Secure and its CEO Vincent Ramos.
RCMP reports entered into evidence show the RCMP created a profile of Phantom Secure in 2014. Belley said after Project Saturation reported on the overall "infrastructure" of companies linked to encrypted phone sales in Canada, it "went silent" and eventually "lost [its] energy."
"It was well known, obviously, that our Five Eyes partners and maybe other partners were very disappointed that Canada was not able to make more progress in Project Saturation," said Mark Ertel, one of Ortis's lawyers, during his questioning of Belley.
"I think it's a fair assessment," Belley replied.
Project Nightspot
With Belley on the stand, Ertel suggested that a new project was created in Project Saturation's wake. Project Nightspot was run out of the RCMP's National Intelligence Coordination Centre and the goal was to disrupt Phantom Secure, he said.
"Really the genesis or the starting point for the new Project Nightspot was this disappointment that these other countries were expressing and this became a big priority in the Five Eyes," Ertel said.

Belley said it was that "international pressure" that brought the issue "back from the dead."
When Ertel asked if Ortis had created Project Nightspot, Belley said he didn't know.
Ortis's lawyers have not made their full case to the jury but have indicated they will argue in court he had authority to take the actions he did.
Ortis was the director of operations research within RCMP National Security starting in 2013. He was later promoted to director general of the National Intelligence Coordination Centre in 2016.
A detailed job description for Ortis's position as the director of the national police force's operations research group in 2013 was entered as an exhibit in his trial. The unit was tasked with assembling and developing classified information on terror cells, transnational criminal networks, cybercrime actors and commercial espionage.
Trial resumes Wednesday
The Crown has said it was the FBI's eventual arrest of Ramos that tipped off the Mounties that someone from within their organization had been leaking information.
Ortis, 51, is accused of three counts of sharing special operational information "intentionally and without authority" and one count of attempting to share special operational information. He also faces two Criminal Code charges: breach of trust and unauthorized use of a computer.
Ortis has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
The trial will resume on Wednesday.
I read another report from the BBC, and I found his case odd and quite puzzling, not to mention suspicious and convenient to once again tarnish China's reputation. The man was a lowly SARGEANT in the U.S. Army; he wasn't responsible for any super duper classified information that pertains to the inner workings of the Pentagon or top secret U.S. programs and plans. He scoured and researched the internet and REDDIT of all places on how to defect to another country. Any person that's in the world of intelligence know what's up and what steps to take along with the risks involved, if they decide to become an agent to a foreign country that's an enemy of the U.S. State.

Absolutely. This guy sounds like he has a few screws loose. That paragraph you quoted was an incredibly long and whiney way of just saying, "You can reach me by email but I'll be busy so I might not respond quickly." The story was funny; I was chuckling when they said they found files on his computer labelled, "Important information to share with the Chinese government" LOLOL. Who does that? I hid my porn on the household computer better when I was 12. Even if he thought his files would never be found by someone else, who labels stuff like that? That's like naming a file, "The Results of the experiments conducted on March 5th of 2023 by Sanger Sequencing" instead of "03/05/23 Sanger." Spies are discreet if nothing else and this guy is the total opposite of that.

It would be hilarious if Hu Xujin legally changes his name to "Xi Jinping", and goes to SF to meet Joe Biden.
