The Chinese government is pretty happy to allow Taiwan stay as it is, no intention to intervene and alter Taiwan's political and economic system, and would even allow Taiwan to keep its army. The ''One Country Two Systems'' being implemented in Hong Kong was originally designed for Taiwan. But the current Taiwan separatist government has been changing the ''status quo'' (which most Taiwanese support), by changing school textbooks, running media campaigns and so on to remove their cultural identity and demonise China (mainland). Even though to reunify by peaceful means has always been the stance of the Chinese mainland government, but it is looking increasingly impossible.

Based on a new report (titled Regional Economic Outlook for Africa) by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Chinese loans account for just 6% of Sub-Saharan Africa's public debt. "It is noteworthy that the debt owed to China has not been the principal contributor to the region's public debt surge in the past 15 years," the IMF stated in a side report about sub-Saharan Africa's economic relations with China that it released early this month. The IMF added that China's share of the total sub-Saharan Africa external public debt rose from less than 2% before 2005 to about 17% - or US$134 billion - in 2021, saying “This figure is still a relatively small share of the region's total external debt, which stood at US$790 billion in 2021.”

@alsetalokin88 China on the other hand, seems to suck at ''genocide'', cause Xinjiang's population has steadily grown 18.3 per cent between 2010 and 2020.

@alsetalokin88 Yes, but in these Chinese ethnic autonomous regions, the cultural traditions (way of life/religious practices), languages etc. are much better preserved. Example, Mongolians (from former Outer Mongolia, part of China prior to 1947) speak Russian now whereas Mongolians in China still speak their native language.

Ben is right, the only force that wants to see war, instability even deaths and destruction in the Taiwan straits is the warmongering US government. It wants to use Taiwan as a proxy to contain China. The US doesn't care about the welfare of the people living there, nor it has ever been about these so called values (freedom, human rights, democracy and self determination). In fact, Taiwan is merely a chess piece between China and US' geopolitical rivalry, it has no say in its own destiny.

@alsetalokin88 Yes, the real cultural genocide has been taking place (in the US native reservations for example) after the real genocides which wiped out most of them. Everything the US/West has accused China of is nothing but pure projection.

@spartan.falbion2761 "In terms of population growth, the Uyghur population in Xinjiang has continued to grow. According to data from successive national censuses, the Uyghur population was 3,607,600 in 1953, 3,991,600 in 1964, 5,955,900 in 1982, 7,191,800 in 1990, 8,345,600 in 2000, 10,013,000 in 2010, and 11,624,300 in 2020. The net increase in population between each of the two censuses was 384,000, 1,964,300, 1,235,900, 1,153,800, 1,655,700 and 1,623,000, with average annual growth rates of 0.92 per cent, 2.25 per cent, 2.38 per cent, 1.5 per cent, 1.83 per cent and 1.52 per cent, respectively. The above data show that after the founding of New China, the Uyghur population generally maintained a high level of growth, basically in line with the trend of population development in Xinjiang. Since entering the new century, the Uyghur population has grown from 8,345,600 in 2000 to 11,624,300 in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 1.67 percent, much higher than the national average annual growth rate of 0.83 percent for the ethnic minority population during the same period." Btw, before you attempt to push out your anti China narrative, at least learn to spell correctly the name of the ethnic group you are pretending to care for, lmao
