  5.  @mianregan3197  Chinas statements are pretty clear. They want Taiwan and will take it by force if they refuse to capitulate. "If the DPP does not repent and goes further and further on the wicked path of seeking 'independence', it will only push Taiwan into a dangerous situation and bring serious harm to Taiwan,"Taiwanese are "our flesh and blood", but some have been "poisoned" by ideas of independence and have a "biased understanding" of relations across the strait and national identity. Our not promising to renounce the use of force is absolutely not targeted at Taiwan compatriots. We are targeting the tiny number of Taiwan independence separatists and their separatist activities," Chen Binhua of the Taiwanese affairs office in China. Note that 3% of people in Taiwan think of themselves as primarily Chinese. 28% think of themselves as both Taiwanese and Chinese, the largest group 67% see themselves as Taiwanese.

  6.  @mianregan3197  lol, you constantly threaten the use of force if Taiwan won't capitulate. Which they never will. They are an independent nation with the will and right to self determination. Remember when China suggested they might shoot down a passenger plane because the speaker of the house visited Taiwan. Of when China did war games simulating an invasion of the coast of Taiwan, complete with fly overs and firing over the island? Or forcing the inspection of all ships? Remember when they imposed a no fly zone to commercial pilots? There's a clear and present danger from Chinas increasingly hostile and aggressive actions. Their actions and words say it all. Surrender or be destroyed is their message.
