Xi Jin ping has "vowed" to take Taiwan within his lifetime.... A Chinese president said this, not some low level member of the chinese communist party... Don't u think this is serious, Mr. Expert? Ever imagine how serious an Eastern guy is when they take a vow? U cant, can u, you're from the west...I'm telling u, your complacency will be your undoing...
