Different things though?
Same with most carrier killer bull()t.
Just treat them as small surface action corvettes. Like, say, Nanuchka class, but 50 years later.

LOL! Agreed. Better to announce those ROC surrender 'rewards' after the F-16Vs, M1A2Ts have been delivered to Taiwan. All are welcomed into the PLA to serve the Chinese people. These equipment might not be too valuable to China, but it'll be one hell of an insult to Uncle Sam.
Plus there's no reason why China would use its carriers on strikes against Taiwan.
There's already capacity for 500-800 sorties per day from land bases against Taiwan.
That is more than enough, given Taiwan's runways will not be operational for the majority of the time.
Chinese aircraft carriers will be busy elsewhere.
Like deterring possible US navy advances.
Unlikely for such a thing to happen but if the USA manages to send nukes to Taiwan, well an invasion is all but going to happen and that is when the likes of the USA opens itself up to be nuked in return because heck crossing redlines ought to have lethal consequences
To be fair, DPP is now trying western liberal ideology to try to bring a sense of togetherness. Gay marriage recognition, virtue signalling through appointment of trans minister and aboriginal officials (we swear we are sorry!), etc.
You mention CCP, but actually it was KMT under Sun Yat Sen who promoted ethnic harmony. KMT had many minority supporters and once they took power in Taiwan quickly recruited the aboriginal population.
Will DPP be successful? Remains to be seen as they have to try to shed decades of Japanese inspired ethnic superiority theory (See South Korea for what happens when that theory becomes too powerful)
They're gonna have to be talking out of their ass; DPP independence types are basically white worshipping personified, exactly like the KMT, only whilst the KMT is for the globohomo side of anglosphere, the DPP tends to find resonance with the christian fundamentalist mormon/protestant/christian missionary whites and their wannabe whites in taiwan.
Togetherness? More like sucking up to the US liberal. And yes, people who are gay in Taiwan are going to be making a difference when confronted by the PLA. LOL
It’s not ethnic harmony. The official name for Sun’s idea was “5 ethnics harmonic republicanism”, more specifically the Hans, the Manchus, the Huis, the Mongols and the Tibetans.
The “Many minority supporters” is certainly an over exaggerated statement, not saying that they do not support the ROC. But that they are only a handful of trophy ones left. Most of them were wiped out over the course of two century of infighting, Japanese genocide, conflicts with Qing Dynasty and Han Chinese settlers and intermarriage with Han Chinese settlers long before the ROC relocation.
As for the DPP, their successful or not is irrelevant for mainland. They are in the mainland’s mind 10 times worse than the “counterrevolutionary traitors” of right-KMT.
DPP is more like pretending to be liberals, when in reality they are much worse than the KMT in their oppressive nature.
