China's... not so wrong with this one. Under the previous KMT government, Taiwan-China relations were normalizing (not to the degree of reunification, but to the degree that conflict wasn't really on the horizon anymore because of the economic harm it would cause). The DPP has taken a strongly anti-China stance and the result has been escalating tensions... All while bilateral trade across the strait continues to grow.
Things are tense because China is encroaching on Taiwan's sovereignty. Don't try to say it's Taiwan's fault because they haven't been able to avert the desires of their suitor.
Encroaching on Taiwan's sovereignty by flying in international airspace over international waters?
No, encroaching on Taiwan's sovereignty by claiming that Taiwan is a province of China and exerting pressure on other sovereign nations to adopt that position.
I'm honestly intrigued by your comments. I'm trying to figure out whether it's possible to sincerely believe the things you're saying. I think it's much more likely that you're promoting an ideology through misrepresentations - I'm just a little surprised that Lemmy would be a fertile platform for that.
Taiwan also claims that Taiwan is a province of China.
Have you picked up a history book? Taiwan literally still claims mainland China and the South China Sea as ROC territory. Maybe read Taiwan's Constitution instead of the American media interpretation of it? It's not my fault that you seem happier to spread ideology with American interpretations than deal with actual facts.
