China - Taiwan Developments

Well, at least he confirmed he is against one-sided changing of the way things are.

China knows that sanctions are the worst they will face.
If that.
Maybe just some stern words at the UN and a few twitter profiles get a defunct flag.

Good read re various parties in Taiwan.

Sounds like they're more than capable of making their own mind up.

Conclusion

Through the course of this article, we have sought to analyse the separate strands of nationalism in the Republic of China through the prism of the state’s two major political factions, the Pan-Green and Pan-Blue coalitions. In the case of the former, DPP politicians have sought to characterise Taiwanese identity in opposition to China, based on the state’s unique political and cultural history. In contrast, successive KMT governments have sought to develop a framing of Taiwan as an integral part of China, and have advocated unity with the mainland in the longer-term. What both of these conceptions share is a commitment to fostering a civic identity based on democracy, equality and the rule of law, in the context of a “living” Taiwanese culture that brings together indigenous Taiwanese with successive waves of Han migration to the island.

if you're not immune to the paradox, you are in a corner from the point of personal ethics

not a corner, a paradox, and YOU didn't put me in it that is for damn sure

Thanks for another ad hominem

again: stating simple fact is not an ad hominem attack, learn to tell the difference and perhaps there can be constructive debate someday

It, hypocrisy and ethical fluidity seem to be the basis of your debating style.

translation: warra warra fish paste

Question

Could it be that in Taiwan - and I s'pose Russia to a degree - there is a generational divide on what the country should look like?

For example - older Taiwanese people may or may not be more likely to identify with one China, or possibly have a Taiwanese identity rather than Chinese?
Could it be that the younger generation prefer the current dynamic - some sort of independence from China in determining rules and constitution - or do they favor a one China regime?

Dunno?

I think you're right.

I have read somewhere that the pro-independence sentiment among Taiwanese population increase from mid 30s to 69% in the past 25 years.

Edit: Pan-green (pro-independent) currently hold 63% of votes, versus 35% of Pan-Blue. Even they have slowly been moving away from unification, preferring the current status quo.

Now that might be a reason for a divide.

Must be funded by some government's MIC.

The divide has been getting smaller and smaller over the years so I think they must just be left alone to sort things out democratically / diplomatically. They will make the move when ready.

I think the US will only upset the apple cart, causing mayhem where there is none at present.

Be interesting how this dynamic will play out over the next few years assuming China and Taiwan don't do the Hong Kong.

Being inconsistent isn't a paradox, it just shows that you are more about partisanship than principle.

China sanctioning Taiwan ‘like moving a stone, dropping it on your own foot’

China moved quickly to levy various trade sanctions on Taiwan in retaliation to the visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the self-ruled island.

[TEXTILE GUY]

Washington is on edge as China readies a series of provocative military drills set to kick off on Thursday in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. Beijing has threatened incursions into the island’s territory, and for the first time, conventional missile launches over the island.

Officials say they see China’s moves thus far as mostly bluster. But there are signs Beijing is planning more provocative military actions during the upcoming exercise. China has never before flown aircraft or launched missiles into Taiwan’s territorial waters — something that could happen during the drills, said Bonnie Glaser, an East Asia analyst at the German Marshall Fund of the United States.

Chinese state media, tightly controlled by the ruling communist party, on Wednesday called the exercises “unprecedented” and said the missile launches and naval blockade of the island demonstrate the “Chinese mainland’s absolute control over the Taiwan question.”

you have any mirrors in your house?

take a good long look, you and your whole echo chamber "liking" that post not realizing what rabid gang of dumb hyenas they are

"being inconsistent" in the opposite direction from me does not make you any less partisan
