I’m not Chinese but if I were Taiwan I would think about it twice, remember Vietnam and Afghanistan how the US just abandon them.

That lady is on the Chinese list of war criminals. The consequence for her is of course “catastrophic”.

Everyone has only one life
Live in peace
War brings only poverty

[khushhalpakistanzindabad]

Don't worry. Nothing is going to happened. Two equal powers never go to war. We heard these stories with then Soviet Union almost on daily basis.

Both China and Taiwan agreed upon 1 China. The only problem is, who is the rightfull one.
This hype started with this party, DPP. Before 2016 KMT party has a statusquo.

Taiwan reminds me of Russia Ukraine Crimea conflict. But China is less dramatic than Russia.

[serniebanders]

We stand with the 24 million free citizens of Taiwan 🇹🇼 and the legitimate ROC state

[rustypipe]

The West has to learn a New Language of YES SIR when dealing with Russia and China.

Thanos be like: This invasion is inevitable

[ShahidKhan-ovsr]

If Taiwan is a matter of concern for the west then why not Palestine and Kashmir???

[jefffan]

Unification s inevitable, it is only a matter of time peacefully or not. This is called “ one China policy”.

[laicheewai]

So, Taiwan has the right to be independent according to Bob. The west/US are of course encouraging it. If a homeless sleeps near Times Square for 10 to 15 yrs, does Times Square belong to the homeless? He's got the balls to talk c*ck. SHAMELESS.

[Tacit_Tern]

The world needs to acknowledge the differences between PRC & ROC.
like night and day.

CCP refuses to honor agreements and abide by International Laws.

[louisliu]

if Taiwan doesn't want to fight, who will fight for them?

[newdaynewmoney]

Someone should tell me what Chinese mean by Taiwan declared independent? Because Taiwan is already independent

[nien]

Taiwan will submit peacefully because most people in Taiwan want unification with China.

[SeArChDrEaMz]

TAIWAN #1!!
