Let’s be honest the CCP would try to get Greendland if they thought they could, the reason they are hyper focused on Taiwan and Hong Kong is that that’s as far as they can realistically go without being b¡tch smacked into submission by the rest of the world. And even with those two the chances of them getting them are growing slimmer by the day, and that’s even taking into account their colonization attempt of sending a bunch of mainlanders over to Hong Kong while kicking natives out for petty reasons.

[@tschorsch]

​@@theelementalstation947 Hong Kong is unlikely to remain separate from China. The only thing keeping them from going all the way is that they don't want to look bad to Taiwan. Taiwan knows that the minute they make a deal like the UK did with Hong Kong is when their democracy begins a terminal death phase.

i concur with the sentiment that the population isn't broadly hawkish, there's also a gigantic amount of insecurity within Chinese society on both individual and societal levels. i can think of numerous conversations I've had in China over the past 10+ years with a variety people, in which the hypothetical of a war was raised (usually with the US but possibly Japan as well) and it was accompanied by high levels of anxiety and dread. Despite all the rhetoric for the greatness of China, the fact that "little Japan" wrecked unbelievable devastation on the country and that this history is **endlessly** repeated by Chinese schools and media as if it's about to happen again any moment now, I think this also contributes to people's weak stomachs for war.

[@joca2903]

dam yeah if they hate anyone more than the U.S. its Japan. Japan is over there like an old changed man who is meditating in the woods but also wants to sell you anime.

[@Spongebrain97]

Knowing next to nothing of Taiwanese politics, I found it interesting how the more left leaning DPP party whose candidate won is the one who prefers keeping the status quo and not seek integration with China. Whereas the right wing KMT, the historical party of anti communist and Taiwanese leader Chiang Kai-Shek is more China friendly and seeks future integration

[@MrRizeAG]

That's because KMT's version of "integration with China" is that the the mainland will be "integrated" with the REAL China. They're delusional, and still don't recognize the CCP as a legitimate government. DPP on the other hand, is aggressively pro-democracy, and de facto pro-independence in every way EXCEPT on paper. They actively fight to build and maintain the bureaucratic infrastructure of any independent liberal democracy, but they officially maintain the position of holding the status quo rather than officially advocating for independence. They do this because actively calling for independence wouldn't actually make them any more independent (they already are), but it would stir up a bunch of shit and cause China to go Joker mode. It's a legal fiction that keeps the people of Taiwan safe...more or less.

[@arcturionblade1077]

That's because the KMT is full of teh-olds who might have some memories of what it used to be like to have cultural ties to mainland China, and the other parties have younger members who fully identify as independent Taiwanese with zero fondness or cultural ties to the mainland. It's fascinating from a sociological standpoint.

[@deadby15]

Its more about the identity. KMT supporters think they are Chinese, while DPP supporters feel they are Taiwanese. Also, most progressives in Asia don't like the CCP at all, for obvious reasons.

[@tschorsch]

I doubt any of them really want integration with China. They just think it's safer to kick the can down the road.

[@tschorsch]

The CCP is a capitalist oligarchical party, and is leftist in name only. It's no surprise at all that the DPP doesn't want anything to do with becoming part of China. China's government is very right-wing and resembles fascism. It is practically the polar opposite of a social democracy.

So I once asked my early Gen X Chinese parents what life was like growing up. One parent mentioned eating farm raised meat on birthdays and the like, and very rarely having meat outside of that (my farmer grandfather would occasionally snipe a bird and bring it home for dinner). The other half mentioned that growing up very few people had TVs, and even to be allowed to purchase one, you had to win a lottery of some kind (and somehow come up with the money to exchange said ticket for a TV). Fast forward to today, I see Chinese kids on foreign campuses burn through so much money that the sight of it all might have given my grandparents heart attacks.

Indeed. Taiwan's KMT, the China-friendly party, lost the 2016 election after China's crackdown on the Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters.

The thing is, Taiwan is not just an island. It's the last stronghold of the Guomindang, whose white sun still flies over Taipei. While they are there, Sun Yat-sen's Republic of China still stands, and with it, the claim to all China. Taiwan isn't an independently-minded island. It's a rival state. This is like the Koreas, except China is ten times the population and a hundred times the landmass of Taiwan. While the other still exists, the Civil War is never fully resolved. That's why China is so incredibly scared of internal division. They have to assume that the moment they fracture, Taiwan strikes with massive Western support, and the white sun flies over Beijing. The same paranoia that drove Chinese dynasties to murder every member of the previous dynasty's family, all their loyalists and friends.

My personal (and somewhat anecdotal) views on this election, after having spent six months in Taiwan last year and speaking with a lot of Taiwanese friends, is that this election is less about China compared to 2020 when China loomed large (despite what the Western media will have you believe). Taiwanese people were more concerned with bread-and-butter issues like unemployment, stagnant wages, high housing prices and rent, etc. People, especially young people, are fed up with the status quo of the two-party system and a lot of them gravitated towards the TPP. A lot of young people I spoke to were very enthusiastic about Ko. The KMT really needs to do some soul-searching over the next four years and reinvent itself. Its views on China are getting more and more outdated and its domestic policies seem way too similar to the DPP's, with the exception of nuclear power. The TPP, on the other hand, is unable to completely absorb the KMT's voter base. We'll likely see a blue-white split for a while.

It is advised that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) wake up to reality. Taiwan was formally ceded to Japan by the Qing Dynasty, and until the end of World War II in 1946, it remained under Japanese sovereignty. In 1946, Japan handed Taiwan over to the Nationalist government, which then represented all of China. Where is the mistake in this historical process? The PROC was only established in 1949, so when did it suddenly become Taiwan's ancestral land? Is it because the Qing Dynasty once ruled over Taiwan? The Qing Dynasty had control over numerous territories, such as the Tuva Republic, which had a population of only 307,930, an area 4.7 times larger than Taiwan, and was an inland country with residents of East Asian descent. Why does the CCP overlook such territories and instead seek to occupy Taiwan, which is 130 kilometers across the strait? Taiwan has a population of 23.5 million people; does the CCP truly have the capability to take over Taiwan? Does the CCP possess a substantial number of amphibious landing ships? The CCP's constantly creating disturbances for Taiwan, undermining Taiwan's relationships, militarily threatening Taiwan, and taking an adversarial stance against Taiwan-all of these actions are undeniably foolish.

China: Do not meddle with our internal affairs. Giga Chad democracy pilled countries: We're not, we're addressing Taiwan.

[@yu-anliu4198]

Well the majority of the world governments acknowledge Taiwan as part of China, so China's not entirely wrong for calling out the hypocrisy. Of course they APPEAR very cringe for being pissed off about this election. But as a Taiwanese myself I'm also sick of the fact that these world leaders and media talking heads virtue signal every time we hold an election but no one actually WANT to fight for our status as an actual country. FYI, we lost another diplomatic ally country the day after the election, and nobody was talking about it in any serious way. Btw I don't think China's time is running out for invading Taiwan. Just because you "sense" discontent against the CCP doesn't mean this will stop them. Want an example? Israel.

The only reason we support Taiwan but never mention Tibet is because Taiwan is the leading global producer of advanced microchips, producing over 90% of the global supply. The second we have a replacement for manufacturing these chips the US will suddenly be quiet about Taiwan and it will be taken over by China, just like Tibet. It’s too bad we don’t value Buddhist monks as much as we should.

Taiwan is not a country, it is one of the remaining constituent islands that make up the Republic of China, the regime that overthrew the Qing dynasty in 1912. Should always call them what they are, the Republic of China, labels are important, and they have never dropped the name. Real talk though, the ROC and its possessions COULD became China's rebellious colony that got independence (like the US to England) but they're so close, they're not like Singapore or Malaysia, countries with massive Chinese populations that China wishes it could assert control over. When I say China wishes, I don't mean the PRC, I mean like, Zhongguo, the whole region, "Greater China." Taiwan is like, so geographically close. I also like how in previous comments, someone had the balls to call a Chinese unironically racist against Chinese people. Not all of us are Liang Qichao, Western dullards. Learn our history from Qin to Qing and then we can talk.

[@goodspeedNHC99]

I have the exact opposite perspective. The one who doesn't have more time is Taiwan because with the improvement of Chinese chips, the Chinese can make Taiwan's chips inrelevant because they can replicate them in mainland China. Currently China does not invade because 90% of the best chips manufactured in the world are in Taiwan, this could change radically in 20 years with China reaching the quality of chips manufactured in Taiwan and managing to build them on a large scale. After that, Taiwan's importance in the world becomes much smaller. And the demographic crisis that they talk about so much in China, firstly it's not just in China, its Asian neighbors have it too and in some cases worse and this would still take a long time as they are losing population but not in an alarming number. Furthermore, currently China has a problem with a lack of jobs among younger people, having fewer young people could be a relief in this sense, especially when there is a great tendency towards automation in China and loss of jobs to machines. I think it's exactly the opposite of what was stated in the video.

[@sudazima]

i think its important to mention that taiwan doesnt want independence, theyre still holding out hope that the CCP will collapse someday and they can swoop in to be the legitimate big china goverment again. this sentiment is changing very quickly now but often its put in a frame of china just bullying taiwan not to proclaim independence but its not that simple.

[@DG-mk2nr]

Bro what😭🤣 Taiwan has long given up on trying to reclaim the mainland. That’s why their official documents like passport use the name Taiwan instead of Republic of China (in order to distance itself from association with China). Even if CCP collapses, the tiny Taiwanese government can’t just swoop in lol. If they can just swoop in, that’s assuming the everyday Chinese people support the Taiwanese government. But they don’t. Regular Chinese people may hate CCP or overthrow it, but they don’t worship the old exile government in Taiwan at all to want to welcome it back. Chinese people would most likely form their own new government without the CCP.

[@stevent9691]

Straight up bs my dude. Those with the sentiment you mentioned were the die-hard ROC folks that existed like half a century ago, and its sort of understandable since they were in essence exiled Chinese soldiers. No sane person thinks like that in Taiwan anymore nowadays. If im being honest (and very practical) most Taiwanese are fine with the CCP as long as they stop threatening us with a war over independence and leave Taiwan alone, yeah its a shitty government but not a problem we want to deal with.
