@chrishannis1 If you read Taiwan's own constitution, it says that Taiwan is part of China. Taiwan claims all of mainland China (including Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, etc) as part of China, including territory currently under the control of Mongolia, Burma (Myanmar), Bhutan, India, Japan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia and Tajikistan. Here's a map of territories that Taiwan claims under it's constitution. wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ROC_Administrative_and_Claims.svg
Since there hasn't been any amendments to Taiwan's constitution, then by default, Taiwan is part of China under their own constitution.

@knowitall5913 I've been to Minnesota, Iowa, Kentucky and visited New York, Last Vegas, San Francisco, etc. I had the opportunity to learn English and study abroad, yet I was appalled at the sheer amount of Western anti-China propaganda out there. Whenever I bring up China's achievements, some Westerners just laugh at me, called me brainwashed or a communist party shill, or told me to "Go back to China if you like it there."
They act like they know China better than me, even though I literally grew up in China and they have never actually set foot in China and see what life is like here for themselves.

China had put forth numerous 5-year plans, 10-year plans, 20-year plans, 30-year plans to map out China's direction and future in 2025, 2030, 2040, 2050. By abolishing presidential term limits, our leaders can remain in power long enough to see their plans for China bloom and come to fruition.
Whereas in the USA, the U.S presidents have to step down after 4-8 years because of presidential term limits, so their leaders can only make short-term plans for America's future, instead of long-term plans spanning, say 10 years or more.

@birsiir8251 You said: "Stop acting like China is very peaceful only be about its business and westerns are making problem."
China is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, powerstations, dams, ports, airports, etc and investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, Yemen War, etc, even in the 21st century. USA is bombing in those Middle Eastern countries and enacting regime change by cutting off their "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place.
Which country do you think is the real threat to global peace and stability here?

@birsiir8251 You said: "Which country is planning to invade Taiwan USA or China?"
If you go and read Taiwan's own constitution, it says that Taiwan is part of China. Taiwan claims all of mainland China (including Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, etc) as part of their territory, including territory currently under the control of Mongolia, Burma (Myanmar), Bhutan, India, Japan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia and Tajikistan. Here's a map of ROC Administrative and Claims. wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ROC_Administrative_and_Claims.svg
Since there hasn't been any amendments to Taiwan's constitution, then by default, Taiwan is part of China under their own constitution.
If hypothetically, war breaks out between Taiwan and the mainland, then it would be a resumption of the unresolved Chinese Civil War and an internal civil war within China, not an invasion of another country. How can China invade ourselves when Taiwan considers itself part of China under their own constitution?

@kungflunazi9445 What genocide? The population of Uighurs in China from 1953 to 2010 actually tripled in size from 3 million to 10 million Uighurs. That's because Uighurs aren't subject to the One Child Policy (unlike Han) so they can have as many kids as they want.
Population of Uighurs in China from 1953 to 2010
1953: 3,640,125
1964: 3,996,311
1982: 5,917,030
1990: 7,207,024
2000: 8,399,393
2010: 10,069,346

@kungflunazi9445 As the world's most populous country, China has (statistically speaking) the most brainpower to come up with plans and ideas, as well as the most manpower to implement said plans and turn ideas into reality. Larger populations have more geniuses, and since China's population is 4x that of USA, there should be at least 4 Chinese geniuses to every 1 American genius.
Source: China's Statistical Advantage: Large populations have more geniuses iiipublishing.com/blog/2018/06/blog_06_07_2018.html
Consider two standard bell curves, say one with 1.4 billion people and one with 326 million. The number of average people in China is very close to 4.3 times the number of average people in the U.S. That is also true for those in the top 2% say, which produces scientists, the best business and government people, and the most competent computer programmers. Even there, China would have a 4.3 to 1 advantage, which would be quite an advantage, everything else being equal.

@kungflunazi9445 "神州 Shenzhou DECOUPLE FROM CHINA"
You should start at home. Gather all your Made-in-China products like smartphones, computers, electronics, appliances, toys, sneakers, clothing, TVs, refrigerators, etc and throw them away.
Check all your electronics, devices, appliances, vehicles whether they contain Made-in-China parts and remove them. You can keep all the non-Made-in-China parts and see if your devices still function.

@kungflunazi9445 Have you destroyed all your Made-in-China products like smartphones, computers, electronics, TVs, appliances, etc? Even those containing Made-in-China components, especially rare earth metals (of which China controls 90% of all rare earth metals production) found in computer memory, DVDs, hard disks, digital cameras, magnets, lasers, fiber optics, fluorescent lighting, LEDs, flat screen TVs, monitors, rechargeable batteries, solar panels, wind turbines, jet engines, rocket engines, superconductors, etc.
Every product ever containing rare earth metals from China, be sure to dispose of them if you want to decouple from China.

@everythingandmore5537 "神州 Shenzhou The CCP and chinas economy is not the same thing."
It is, because China's economy is state-controlled, so CPC's collapse would plunge China into chaos and civil strife, wiping away decades of peace and progress in our country, so why do you want such a catastrophic event to happen to China?
The Communist Party of China defends China's interests in
1. South China Sea
The US warships and aircraft carriers are sailing halfway across the globe to South China Sea, so China is taking actions to defend China's sovereignty.
2. India Border
Even Indian PM Narendra Modi publicly stated that "Chinese troops did not enter Indian territory and no posts were taken." so the belligerence started on the Indian side and China is defending our sovereignty along the Sino-Indian border.
Source: 'China did not enter our territory, no posts taken’: PM at all-party meet on Ladakh clash hindustantimes.com/india-news/chinese-troops-did-not-enter-our-territory-says-pm-modi-at-all-party-meeting-on-ladakh-standoff/story-QGgGUyL3sVRYB7mp3Y8bBI.html
3. Xinjiang
The Uighurs in Xinjiang are Chinese citizens by birth and they are receiving a proper Chinese education, learning Mandarin Chinese (national language of China) Chinese history and cultivating patriotism towards their homeland, China. Just like the Hawaiins in Hawaii are American Citizens by birth and they learn English at school, American history and cultivate patriotism towards their homeland, America.
Previously, Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region used to be plagued by terrorist attacks perpetrated by misguided Ughurs such as the 1992 Ürümqi bombings, the 1997 Ürümqi bus bombings, the 2010 Aksu bombing, the 2011 Hotan attack, 2011 Kashgar attacks, and the 2014 Ürümqi attack
But thanks to the government program in Xinjiang, there have been no more terrorist attacks in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region since.
4. Sino-British declaration in HK
During the 19th century, the British wanted to continue drinking Chinese tea, but China did not want anything the West had to offer, so Britain waged two bloody wars with China and forced Chinese to buy opium from them at gunpoint, which we didn't want because it made us sick and was poisoning our people. During this weak period of Chinese history, Hong Kong was taken from China and made into British colony, to act as a drug distribution hub to spread the addiction throughout rest of China.
Even when Britain renounced ownership over its former territories, Hong Kong was not fully returned back to China, and China had to agree to Sino-British declaration just for Britain to handover what belongs to us.
5. Taiwan
Go and read Taiwan's constitution and it says that Taiwan is part of China under their own constitution. Taiwan claims all of mainland China (including Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, the South China Sea) as part of their territory, including territory currently under the control of Mongolia, Burma (Myanmar), Bhutan, India, Japan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia and Tajikistan. Here's a map of territory that Taiwan claims as their own. wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ROC_Administrative_and_Claims.svg

@everythingandmore5537 Why can't the CPC take credit for the vast improvement of people's lives over the past 30 years? You just refuse to give credit where credit is due that's all. China was once a dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country in the past, until the Communist Revolution changed China into world's 2nd largest economy, the world's factory (Made in China) having world's 2nd highest R&D spending, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, funded by world's 2nd highest military expenditure.
1. Century of Humiliation
During the 19th century, the British wanted to continue drinking Chinese tea, but China did not want anything the West had to offer, so Britain waged two bloody wars with China and forced Chinese to buy opium from them at gunpoint, which we didn't want because it made us sick and was poisoning our people. During this weak period of Chinese history, Hong Kong was taken from China and made into British colony, to act as a drug distribution hub to spread the addiction throughout rest of China.
Even when Britain renounced ownership over its former territories, Hong Kong was not fully returned back to China, and China had to agree to Sino-British declaration just for Britain to handover what belongs to us.
……
2. CIA infiltration
Did you know that the 14th Dalai Lama is a CIA agent and a traitor to his people? The 14th Dalai Lama received funding from CIA to train Tibetan guerrillas in separatist activities against the Central People's Government (Beijing). Declassified CIA files have exposed that a total of 1,735,000 dollars was devoted to the Tibetan program for FY1964
-Tibetan resistance efforts in Nepal (US$500,000)
-Tibet Houses in New York and Geneva (1/2 year) (US$75,000)
-Training (US$855,000)
-Subsidy to the Dalai Lama (US$180,000)
-Miscellaneous costs (US$125,000)
Source: CIA Tibetan program wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_Tibetan_program#Costs
So here we have concrete evidence that the 14th Dalai Lama received funding from the USA to engage in separatist activities against the Central People's Government. What makes you think CIA infiltration is a myth, when the evidence comes from de-classified CIA files?
3. South China Sea
China first claimed South China Sea Islands back in 1947 when Republic of China 🇹🇼 published the 11 Dash Line (which the 9 Dash Line by People's Republic of China 🇨🇳 is based upon). Nobody objected to China's claim, not Vietnam, not Philippines, not even the USA. The USA even donated warships like USS Decker to help ROC reclaim the South China Sea Islands, the warship was renamed ROCS Taiping 太平 under Chinese navy. One of the the South China Sea Islands was even renamed Taiping Island in honor of the warship that liberated it from Japanese control after WWII.
4. Chinese Civil War
Why did Republic of China 🇹🇼 lose the mainland to People's Republic of China 🇨🇳 and had to flee to Formosa (Taiwan)? During the Chinese Civil War, the Nationalist Kuomintang had massive wealth (they taxed peasants heavily) they had superior weapons and superior numbers over the communists, yet they still lost the mainland to dirt-poor, heavily outnumbered, ill-equipped, starving Communist peasants and had to flee to Taiwan.
This demonstrates KMT's gross incompetence in their right to rule the mainland, and solidifies the Communists right to rule the mainland.
5. Etc
(What's the point of putting "Etc" as a point? You got issues, name them rather than just claim Etc.)
Why should Chinese people overthrow our government? The CPC's collapse would plunge China into chaos and civil strife, wiping away decades of peace and progress in our country, so why do you want such a catastrophic event to happen to China?

@everythingandmore5537 Tibet was part of China since 800 years ago when the Mongols conquered Kingdom of Thibet and Song Dynasty China and incorporated those territory into Yuan Dynasty China. The Manchu conquerors of China did a similar thing with Tibet centuries later during Qing Dynasty China. Just look up maps of Yuan Dynasty China and Qing Dynasty China and Tibet was clearly part of Chinese history.
Also, what do you mean just because Qing Dynasty is non-Han dynasty suddenly means that Tibet wasn't part of China? After conquering "China proper", the Manchus identified their state as "China" (中國, Zhōngguó; "Middle Kingdom"), and the emperors equated the lands of the Qing state (including present-day Northeast China, Xinjiang, Mongolia, Tibet and other areas) as "China" in both the Chinese and Manchu languages, defining China as a multi-ethnic state, and rejecting the idea that "China" only meant Han areas. The Qing emperors proclaimed that both Han and non-Han peoples were part of "China". They used both "China" and "Qing" to refer to their state in official documents, international treaties, and foreign affairs. In the Chinese-language versions of its treaties and its maps of the world, the Qing government used "Qing" and "China" interchangeably.
Source: https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qing_dynasty#Names
Yet you claim to China is Han-only China? Who are you to tell us what China is and what China isn't?
And the fact remains that the 14th Dalai Lama received American CIA money to train Tibetan guerrillas in separatist activities against the Central People's Government.

@everythingandmore5537 The Manchu conquerors of Qing Dynasty China declared China as a multi-ethnic state and rejected the idea China only meant Han areas, and they used bot "Qing" and "China" interchangeably in official documents, international treaties and foreign affairs, who are you to claim China only meant Han areas?
And since Chairman Mao returned Tibet back to China, then why should China hold an election in Tibet, just because you say so? Previously, while Tibet was under Dalai Lama rule, Tibet was a brutal theocracy, where 95% of the population were slaves and the remaining 5% elites were slave owners. Tibetan mountainous soil is infertile, rainfall is scarce in the Himalayas, so the slaves had to work hard to feed the Tibetan population. Starvation was commonplace and theft of food was punished by torture, amputation and even skinning. There's this Tibetan drum called damaru that's made from human skulls, a drumskin made of human skin and drumstick made of human bone. The Dalai Lama was overly worshipped and his followers fought for the right to consume his saliva, his urine and even his feces, because he was considered a divine vessel.
After Tibet returned back to China, Chinese workers began rapidly modernising Tibet, building roads, railways, streetlamps, running water, gas and electricity as well as introducing modern amenities like cars, computers, telephone cables, smartphones, the Internet, WiFi, online shopping (from Taobao) and so on. Under CPC, the first Tibetan colleges opened in Lhasa, offering degrees in both Tibetan and Mandarin Chinese languages. Hydroelectric powerstations were built by Chinese to supply Tibetan homes with electricity.
Chinese workers built the Qinghai-Lhasa railway (world's highest elevation railway) through dangerous mountainous terrain and low oxygen environments, to connect the normally isolated Tibet with the rest of the world. Tibet can now import food from the mainland to feed its population, and Tibet's population has tripled from 1 million in 1950s to over 3 million people today. A thriving tourist industry has even sprung up in Tibet.

@chrishannis1 About the Social Credit System, many foreigners often complain Chinese people spit in public, smoke in non-smoking areas, jump queues, disobey traffic rules, jay walk, drive on wrong side of the road, speed through red lights, etc when not all Chinese people are like that. We Chinese feel embarrassed that such bad people represent China overseas, so the government introduce social credit system to discourage such bad behaviour and promote better behaviour instead. This is a meritocratic system where good behaviour is rewarded and bad behaviour penalised.
But if such people persist with bad behaviour, until their scores fall to become unacceptable, then they will be barred from purchasing plane tickets to fly out of China and make nuisances of themselves overseas. At least until their scores improve until it becomes acceptable for them to travel again.
