Yet, Some Americans call Milley a traitor, I mean if someone in his position did what he thought he ought to do to avoid war and deaths and destruction, I would not hesitate to call him a hero, his action greatly restored my faith in humanity, reason will prevail in the end... hopefully.

Taiwan is a part of China, the Nationalist party of Republic of China period reestablished its rule over Taiwan after it lost the civil war with the Communist party in 1949, so Taiwan is in theory still in a civil war with Mainland China. China is dealing with separatist forces in Taiwan who want to declare independence and separate Taiwan away from China with the help of Western forces, China is only taking actions to maintain sovereignty over its own territory, it is not ''invading'', as you can not invade your own country.

@Andy-P Wrong, SOME Taiwanese do not want to be ruled by PRC China, but it nevertheless does not change the fact that ROC, Taiwan's official name is a part of China, recognised by most countries in the UN. China is NOT threatening to kill their own fellow Chinese living in Taiwan, the ''threat'' is only intended for the separatists and the Western forces who are aiding them. China has never prevented normal passing of vessels in the South China Sea, but it holds historical claims to some of the islands within that area of the sea, some of which are also claimed by other countries in the region, so this is just normal land disputes, not invasion. The same applies to with India. You seem want to claim China as the aggressor yet there is no fact and evidence to back this up, the country who has actually invaded ,occupied multiple countries and killed innocent people are Western countries, China has not been in any war with any nation for at least 50 years.

@ReWe1974 Looks like you need to refresh your history of China to find why China is entitled to the land of Taiwan, this is not about how you feel or even has anything do to with ''democracy'' or ''freedom''. BTW, Most Chinese people from the mainland also think they live in a democratic and free country, and that counts to at least one billion people. And what's more if you really insist on talking about democracy, then I can tell you most people from the Mainland do NOT want Taiwan to be separated away from China. I am sure you have no problem pick and choose whose democratic opinions ought to be taken seriously?

@Andy-P Do I really need to provide you with the definition of ''civil war'' or you are just playing stupid, why would China claim Australia, and when has China done so?

Thank god most countries in the world don't behave like the US, the US is the biggest threat to world peace.

@ReWe1974 So it sounds like you have very little knowledge about the history of China in regards to Taiwan. I would then be happy to get into some very brief detail. Taiwan has been an official province of China since 1600s with early immigrations coming from the mainland as early as 1300s. It was given control to Japan for 50 years as a part of an unequal treaty after China lost a war with Japan in 1895, in 1945 after Japan surrendered having lost WW2, it returned Taiwan back to the then government of Republic of China (1912-1949), during which time there were several civil wars took place between different fractions within he Nationalist party and between the Nationalist party and Communist party. After the Nationalist party was defeated by the Communist party in a long civil war, it retreated to the Isle of Taiwan with the support of then Western imperialist forces which occupied parts of China. ROC was then recognised as the legitimate representative of China by major countries until 1979 when the US recognised PRC China as the only legitimate representative for China because around that time mainland China was seeking to reform its economical policy and help from the Western investments and at the same time the West wanted China to side with them in its cold war with Russia. It is in both PRC and ROC's constitution that one day the two ''China'' will unify as one and several attempts both peacefully and by force have been made to achieve this. And mainland China has always stand the position of peaceful reunification with Taiwan promising ''one country two system'' policy which has been implementing in Hong Kong since its return from the British. But in recent years the separatist forces in Taiwan lead by the current ruling party DPP have been trying to seek independence with the aid of US and other Western countries as a way to contain China and also trying to change its constitutions to legitimise its action. China is only trying to maintain its sovereignty over its own territory and despite of the differences of Taiwan's political system to China's, many people in Taiwan do not support separatism and independence, and most mainland Chinese support reunification asap by any mean. It is the Chinese government has been trying its best to sort of differences and continuously maintaining its position of reunification by peaceful means.

@ReWe1974 Then I think it is also fair to give the same right to all Chinese people all over the world to vote if they would be happy with Taiwan independence, and trust me I know the outcome already, it will be an overwhelming NO. This is not the same as Scottish independence or Irish independence as they are already independent nations, but Taiwan is not and has never been, and it matters to China's sovereignty and national security, therefore matters to the interests of Chinese people everywhere.
2
@ReWe1974 NO, you were merely one of the invading forces, which your history clearly failed to tell you, did they tell you China sent forces from the mainland to expel your occupying force? I guess if you want to claim it then you should also claim all other former colonies of yours, why not, see if people would like it, lol.
2
@ReWe1974 And when you landed in Taiwan, the Chinese has already occupied and claimed Taiwan for over 300 years. So you were a bit late to say the least.
2
@ReWe1974 LOL, here comes your Western imperialist version of twisted facts, ''China will be nothing without the West.'' Do you know China's contribution to the winning effort of WW2 by defeating the majority of the Japanese imperialist army on the soil of mainland China, and I bet they also didn't tell you that Russia defeated the majority of the German Nazi army in Europe, not the British or Americans. Do you know China has erased and reset the debt for many developing nations while helping with their urgent infrastructure need, if you think China is an imperialist country, you need to look up the definition of ''imperialism''. The West did NOT put China where it is today, China's own economical policy and hard work of its people did. And you can doubt China all you like but the fact is the West by far contributed to most deaths and destruction with its illegal wars and occupations in recent history, this is not something we even need to debate on.
2
@ReWe1974 ''China is more focused to expand their will and power… clearly a government that lives in the spirit off the year 1300.'' No, totally not, quite the opposite, China is resisting the hegemon of the Western imperialists who never stopped dreaming of dividing China and subjugating the Chinese people, you are imagining China as a threat but failed to mention the West has already brought much destruction and deaths in their pursuit of expending their will and power, Lol, in the name of some so called values. Open borders and free economy does not mean disregard of other countries' sovereignty, talking about modern times, I can't classify invading countries and bombing innocent people in another country as being civilised, lol the irony.
2
@ReWe1974 There is NO 1.5 million Uyghurs in reeducation camps, I know this is always a go to for people like you, as if somehow that will justify the China bad image, these are nothing but lies put out by the West to demonise China, and much of it has already been debunked to be either fiction or based on flimsy evidence, there was however a serious Islamic extremism problem in Xinjiang that was funded and supported by the West in its effort to divide China. China has many policies actually favour their minorities which the West would never tell you about, there are 56 minorities in China, all are proud to be a member of its multicultural community. Loos like you are brainwashed by western media bs, but most of you westerners are. There is also no Tiananmen Square Massacre in case you would go for this one too, lol.
2
@ReWe1974 By the way, the West condoned the Japanese to carry out its imperialist wars at the beginning in many Asian countries, so they actually helped to encourage of Japan's war crimes, it was only when Japan attacked the US, it then decided to punish Japan, so no, they were not there to help China or anyone else as some selfless hero as you try to portray here.
2
@ReWe1974 It looks like you are deeply brainwashed by all the anti China talking points put out by the Western media, we can go on and on but you really need to stop watching MSM if you are interested in truth. I hope I have done my bit to enlighten you somewhat but good luck anyway.
2
@ReWe1974 I am just saying much of your opinions about China are not based on facts and of course as a Chinese I have a right to call out lies about China and anyone who echo these lies, I hope you keep an open mind when it comes to China. Opinions should be based on facts otherwise it is called rumours just so you know.
2
@ReWe1974 I have lived in both the West and China for 20 years each, so I think I know China more than you do, as I have seen it with my own eyes what China is like, I can also claim I have good understanding about the West which I have spent a good amount of time in. Again neither your feelings nor opinions should be taken as facts, and facts equally don't care about your opinions.
2
@ReWe1974 I am a Chinese national living in the UK now.
2
@ReWe1974 It is shame that I have not changed your views about China, your mainstream news media is NOT and has proven NOT be a reliable source of news on China, as they normally follow along a particular often one sided narrative when it comes to China, the truths speak for itself, I am doing my bit to help you to form a fair view of China, but you shouldn't take anyone's words for it, you really need to see it for yourself if you are interested, China is always open to visitors. (maybe after the pandemic)
2
@ReWe1974 And for most people who have ever visited China, they will find China is nothing like what the West has portrayed, there is no perfect country of course, but the real China is certainly not half as bad as the your media wants you to believe.
2
@ReWe1974 Is this why Julian Assange and a number of people got sent to prison for speaking the truth in the West? You can NOT say everything you want in the West, in fact there are more things you can not say freely in the West than China, I can tell you, but of course you can not say certain things in China publicly, it is the Chinese own political correctness and also for other reasons such as society harmony and stability, but there are plenty dissenting voices in the Chinese social media and guess what there is no problem whatsoever to the owners of these voices, how do you think China could have made this much progress if the Chinese government are blind and deaf to people's opinions and concerns, they care very much what people think, like in most countries, use your common sense, I am afraid to say, with your very narrow minded mentality on China, you are never going to learn about China.
2
@ReWe1974 There is no social credit system the way that the West portrayed it, it is just another one of those anti China talking points from the Western media, it is merely a credit rating system which you already have in the West, to help organizations to evaluate your credibility and trustworthiness, it is not there to be used against you or track you, it is also to encourage people to take personal responsibility especially in pubic settings, it is mostly there to identify people who would be facing financial difficulties and help people to go though it, so again nothing bad as what the West tell you.
2
@ReWe1974 No, Julian Assange is in prison is because he exposed war crimes of the US army, all other accusations are just excuses to put him in prison, and since it is an open secret that the US has committed war crimes, I don't know why he is still in prison, it is in the pubic interests to know about the West's war crimes. And he should be treated as a hero.
2
@ReWe1974 Anyway before I go, I will just say if you want to learn about the real China, keep an open mind, do not trust everything your media tells you and take opinions and accounts of people who actually been and lived in China rather than people who haven't and talk about China with an agenda behind them.
2
 @ReWe1974 There are plenty American people hate America but still live in America also plenty Americans love America but live abroad, so what is your point?
2
@ReWe1974 Why are some Western politicians who lied to their people to go to wars are no in prison for committing war crimes? It is in the public knowledge that they ordered illegal invasions but why are they not in prison? Is it because they are powerful people where Julian Assange is not? It is just hypocrisy and you support it of course.
