Another way of expressing my rant above, is that Taiwan under the DPP has adopted a brat strategy.

A brat strategy, behaving without seriousness like a brat, is not strategy.

Being a brat is an attitude.

That is why Biden said what he said. No, the United States does not support independence.

Now, we are all old enough and mature enough, to know that deep down, we cannot expect any attitude adjustments to this issue.

Just more trolling.

The US would just change the wording 180 in no time, so what Biden said "The United States does not support independence" means nothing ..... they could simply say we don't support it but won't stop it

So the main thing is China has to be stronger every day and ready with the assumption that the US will intervene and go for a war (even highly unlikely)

Ah it's surpising to see Mussolini's two granddaughters (he has a lot of grandchildren considering the fact that he has 5 kids) continuing his legacy (while the Italian royal family was exiled). Although the same can't be said for the Austrian Painter.

One night stand technically doesn’t count as a relationship…

I kid, I kid. But I don’t see what the big fuss is about. Doesn’t this make him more politically reliable because he has literally fucked Taiwanese Independence at some point?

Chinese professor Liu Yadong denied the heinous allegations that he made the new Taiwanese Vice President climax five times a night while they were young spry international students in Columbia University.

PS: It was actually six times a night.

First we have the Big Mac Index, now we have the Boba Tea Index?

Agreed, unless the red line is crossed, as Taiwan declares independence, or allows the US to establish a military base in Taiwan; China has no need to and will not act militarily.

Taiwan is already independent.

Nothing screams "JAI HIND! WE ARE DA SUPAPOWA BHARAT! ALL OF YOU PEASANTS MUST NOW BOW BEFORE US AKHAND BHARAT! JAI HIND!" any louder than this:

I would say they have a highly degree of autonomy, they should be grateful for that because the alternative is much much worse and I don't think US could defend that island without risking more than a few US cities in a nuclear war.

They are de facto independent but not de jure (been since ROC army fled to the island).

And being a de jure state/nation is pretty damn important (no real international recognition, not part of UN, China taking Taiwan, even military, is an internal matter, and legally not all different from taking out bandits that controls a mountain).

All in all, legal recognition is pretty darn important (think about legally owning a house, car etc. If you don't, you're basically a thief that the state can jail)
