They can't invade something that is already rightfully theirs. Buddy, I don't know whether you've studied geography or history but that region was a part of China for about 60 years more than length of the existence of the United States of America on this Earth. So show some respect.

Well, at least war with Mexico, Denmark and Panama has very little chance to end the world. So he's a little bit less insane than the previous guy.

Yeah, that's a lie. They want to be number one, they just don't want to be a disgraceful, crude and mean number one like the US, big difference.

I don't know why you even say that, buddy, Lee Kuan Yew stated on camera directly that Taiwan is of China. Get over yourself.
1
@rbc812 No, buddy, you have basic misunderstanding of what Lee Kuan Yew meant. Lee might have hated Communism but he is deeply respectful the Chinese culture, which has existed thousands of years before communism, and it is the root of Lee Kuan Yew and his family culture as well. Today, Singaporeans are much less educated than before, don't sweat it, buddy, this is a common symptomps when you're born into luxury and no suffering. But even going downhill as they are, they know very well that Taiwan belongs to China. Whether China is ruled by this government or another government, that territory belongs the bigger umbrella of Chinese civilization. You know, the longest running civilization on the surface of the planet? Show some respect, buddy.

@rbc812 Taiwan is independent on governing issues, but like a rebellious region, there's no legitimacy for independence there, recognized officially by nearly no one. That territory has been a part of Chinese civlization for too long to go back. You can consider independence in approxiamately 250 years. The island government actual name, if you even understand Chinese, it's Zhonghua Minguo, literally meaning Chinese country of the people. You might want to ask them to change the name of their own island before considering independent. Their only claim to that territory is if they consider themselves apart of China, as written and admitted to in their name. If they're not a part of China, then they're invaders taking away a legitimate piece of Chinese civilization and needs to be removed. Maybe Singapore can take them? The legitimate owner of that territory aka the Chinese will take it back.
1
@rbc812 And no, China is a country, as recognized by approximately 192 countries on Earth, which covers about 99.99% of global population. So it's you versus approximately 7 billion 9 hundred and 99 million people. Tough choice, real tough.
1
@rbc812 Buddy, you need stop to making things up. First off, Lee Kuan Yew might have advocated for Singaporean unique cultural identity, but it's very clear how the Chinese origin community owns the overwhelming majority of the wealth. They speak Chinese and they celebrate Chinese holidays, so call it what you want but you cannot hide the truth. Those are still Chinese cultures, not Singaporeans. Singapore might be the name of the land but the culture existed way before that. And yes, the civilization does translate to ownership of territory, that's the entire point. Self determination doesn't apply to rebellious people, like I said, that island has belonged to China long before any of these "invaders" set foot on it. Exactly how do you think this ownership issues work? You go plant a flag and if you stay for 10-20 years, it automatically becomes your land? No. The land belongs to the entity which rightfully inhibits the land for an extended amount of time, at least 200 years and above. That's the norm. And with that norm, Taiwan belongs to China, as recognized by 192 countries on Earth. The people that has been inhabiting that island have always been "Chinese", now their governmental system might have changed since the 50s, but they are literally from the same culture, same civilization and they're subjugated to the decision of the mass, because the only reason they can live there in the first place is because they have been part of China the country before communism or capitalism government. Show some respect.
1
@rbc812 Buddy, at the end of the day, it's very simple. Your delusional claim of ownership which nobody accepts whatsoever, or the actual official position of 7.99 billion people on Earth via their official representatives that Taiwan is a part of China. Not a real tough choice.
1
@rbc812 PRC having control over Taiwan is the proof of self determination, because that island is now owned just by the people that happens to be trapped on the island when it was occupied by rebellions, no. That island belongs to generations and generations of Chinese, who inhabited that place, and transformed that place in the 1700s. The people who own that territory include not just the direct inhabitants, but also millions on the mainland. The mainland people allow lots of people to live on the island, but it still belongs to the Chinese civilization in general. And what do you mean no civilization continuity? Civilization continuity lies in the people, overwhelming majority of Chinese living under Qing Dynasty are people on the mainland. Therefore the government on the mainland is the continuation of the Qing Dynasty. You have to deal with that reality, hombre.
1
@rbc812 Your respect is completely disrespectful, because you fundamentally misunderstand the concept of self-determination, territory ownership and civilization continuity. Just like how the rebellious Southern States did not have a right to unilaterally leave the United States, Taiwan and the inhabitants on there alone do not have the right to leave the umbrella of China.
1
@rbc812 Not historical narratives, buddy. The closest significant amount of time to modern time is that status quo used to established the proper "rights" of all people. Show some respect to that, will you? And no, Singaporean is nothing more than a glorified Chinese sub branch. You can cry but numbers don't lie, the Chinese origin people is the overwhelming majority of the population, they hold the overwhelming majority amount of wealth, businesses, even political power. And no amount of calendar stuffing can change that reality. Why don't you come back later after you've studied proper math? Lies inside your head doesn't count as reality.
1
@rbc812 For the Singaporean issue, homie, stuffing the calendar with holidays do not change the math and physics of that island. The overwhelming majority of the people are of Chinese origin, speak Mandarin, celebrate Chinese rooted holidays and they hold all the wealth. So why don't you deal with that reality? And no, China claim to Taiwan is not just historical claim, it's the most notable recent historical claim, that distinguishes it, because otherwise no country can ever have a claim over anything, because the territory can just be invaded and then new people can be put in and according to your logic, the invaders can now claim self determination on land that they steal. That's not how it works. The historical claim is crucial, especially to significant continuous claims. Taiwan was under Japan rule for less than 60 years, under ROC rule for less than 20 years, it belongs to the Qing Dynasty for 250 years. And after 1945, you can no longer claim new territory, therefore the most significant owners of Taiwan is the Qing Dynasty, aka China. Furthermore, the only reason ROC can claim Taiwan is because the Japanese were returning it to China the country, which back then was represented by the ROC. Government can change, but that country remains, therefore, you literally admitted that Taiwan belongs to China the country, whether it's ruled by this party or another party. Do you see the difference in numbers? If you don't know much about mathematics, it's best to stay quiet, homie.
1
@rbc812 There's no self determination for thieves, buddy. If you claim that these Taiwanese are of a separate culture, then they're inhabiting territories that they literally stole from the legitimate owners aka the Chinese people, so if they're not Chinese, they're just thieves. Ignorance in mathematics is fatal, buddy, I suggest you study up.

@rbc812 Again, it's very clear, the delusional idea of you, versus the official position, official documents, official policy stands of 99.7% of global population. Ignorance in mathematics is fatal, you better study up.
1
@rbc812 Modern geopolitics all runs on historical claims, buddy, the clear criteria is that it must be a significantly continuous and substantial historical claim. The reason why ROC can't own Taiwan is the same reason why the British can't rule India. They have zero claim. There was no separate civilization on that island, they stole the island from the legitimate owners, you see. It doesn't matter how independent they seem, if they're not Chinese, they're just thieves. And even the though the likes of you might show extreme sympathy to criminals, the rest of the world just don't, so why don't you go and give them your land and leave us alone? Better study up, hombre.

@rbc812 You're going to need better lies and a better understanding of the world, buddy. Your understanding is just so shallow. It just doesn't measure up here. Here's a clue, self proclaiming adjectives are not an argument, it's an opinion, not a very good one at that.
1
@rbc812 Again, buddy, ignorance is fatal. Modern Greece hasn't been part of the Roman Empire for over 400 years. The timescale is not remotely comparable. Seemingly every time you're met with facts, your argument always contains completely irrelevant and illogical lies. That's just sad.
1
@rbc812 I'll say it again very clearly, thieves do not have the right to self determination. So give your own land away and leave us sane people be. The PRC is the ruler over the overwhelming majority of Chinese people, if they're not the inheritors of ancient China territories and culture then who is? This is just desperate, buddy.
1
@rbc812 Are you using AI to generate these words? Because you might want to use a better AI, the arguments aren't making any sense and I don't think you're even capable of realizing that. Your intelligence just doesn't measure up, pal, get back to reality.
1
@rbc812 Okay, I'll humor you. Your argument is extremely shallow because you fundamentally misunderstood the concept of "self determination", legality in geopolitics, and "will of the people". I don't know what to say, you just don't understand basic concepts at all. Like a blind colored person who thinks that there's only black and white in the world, you're not up to par. Clear, hombre?

@rbc812 Okay, I'll humor you. It is extremely shallow because you fundamentally misunderstand the concept of "self determination", legality in geopolitics, and "will of the people". I don't know what to say, you are similar to how a colorblind person who thinks that there's only black and white in the world, you're not up to par. Clear, hombre?

@rbc812 China claim to Taiwan is not counted from today going backward, buddy, it is counted backward since the ongoing of the dispute. Which is in the 1960s, so no, Taiwan has not been a distinct political entity for over 7 decades. It has been a disputed area for over 7 decades, the Chinese didn't just claim it now, it was stolen territories 7 decades ago, they claim it then and it is stolen territories now. You see, we now live in a modern age where you can't just invade people without cause and then claim self determination as the invaders. All claims are judged via their legitimacy counting from around 1945. And like always, Taiwan the island is territory of the people of China, whether they're ruled by this government or another government. Again, you need to study up
1
@rbc812 That's not how historical claims are counted, buddy. You have to count it from the moment of the dispute. Yes, the invaders stole the territory from the rightful owners for 70 years. The dispute started 70 years ago and it is accepted by no one that you can occupy territory illegally and then claim self determination. At least not anymore, this is a more civilized age, why don't you catch up?
1
@rbc812 You're observing things in a very shallow way then. Go study up.
1
@rbc812 Like I said, misunderstanding of fundamental concepts make you completely unqualified to participate in this argument. Study up, buddy. Your definition of things are not just false, they're also insignificant, as in accepted by no one, considered by no one, and honestly, cared for by no one.
1
Of course Donald Trump thinks, he doesn't think deeply or wisely but he thinks, he's still a human, and that's the problem, he's a highly unremarkable human being.
1
You're going to need better lies, buddy. Those territories have been a part of Chinese civilization longer than the existence of the United States. So show some respect.
1
Yet, they will, but not yet.

You can't patent knowledge and technology, buddy, knowledge and technology belongs to mankind, and it really doesn't matter hard you soyboy cries about it. You can patent the design of shirt and maybe nobody cares, but technology, that belongs to mankind.
