It is speculation that China might've resorted to non-peaceful methods of reunification should the Portuguese have declined the 2000 date. This is in clear contrast to the Taiwan situation where the Chinese side have explicitly mentioned the use of military force in its Anti-Secession Law.
Your ignorance doesn't make it speculation. How are your arguments any different than the people who say China just issue empty threats and China's last warning jokes.
The change you are referring to, which I will assume refers to decreasing support for the KMT and increasing support for the DPP, matters to China only if there is still a significant number of the population of policymakers who are amenable to the idea of reunification under CCP rule. There simply isn't; the latest poll indicates that only ~16% (can't recall the exact number) is open to that idea. From a governance perspective, you are going to get a hostile population regardless of that statistic being 16% or 6%.
Yea just like how Ukrainian nationalists can't be turned into fascist AZOV battalions after a few years? You know there are different levels of hostility right.
You will need to explain how exactly how 2000-3500 Indians - not all of whom will be cheap laborers - affect China's calculus of the Taiwan situation and why they would be of concern to China in the first place.
Spare me the high IQ H1B talent spiel. If you've researched Taiwan's Indian import policies you would know Taiwan is importing cheap Indian labour.
But hiring foreign workers in large numbers may not be easy. In November,
reported that Taiwan could “hire as many as 100,000 Indians to work at factories, farms and hospitals.”
For comparison, there are approximately 15000 Indians in mainland China already.
First, those 15000 Indians are mostly temporary (students, businessmen), unless you have proof they have PR. Second, PRC doesn't have a policy to import cheap labour from India. Third, so because there are 15,000 Indians already living in PRC, we should import 100,000 or even 1,000,000 more Indians to China? What kind of logic is that?
Speaking of strawmans, lol. Both you and I know that the comparison was made with respective to the conflicts.
Yes, civil war in Taiwan is 100% like the civil war in Vietnam. There is one communist party faction that wants to reunite the whole country, while there is a nationalist party who only wants to keep the property they took. Fun fact, the communist parties in both regions have very close ties, the nationalist parties in both regions have even closer ties. If the KMT/rebel military could fight guerilla warfare, they wouldn't be stuck on that island for the past 75 years.
Taiwan is positioned as a bait to contain China's development and military in the region, au contraire. A military invasion gone awry will serve to bleed China's military resources, strain its economy, cause its adversaries to arm, all the while solidifying US presence in the Asia-Pacific region...it would be like China's own Vietnam but worse.
Not every conflict is a "Vietnam", your Vietnam example is the stupidest example of what reunification would end up like.
Honestly just stop arguing, if you were so confident with your arguments why did you delete your posts to begin with.
