    Ok I should probably explain it a little bit more, the CCP came out of a brutal Civil War between a lot of Warlords and Taiwan. It was essentially a Battle Royale for control. The reason why I predict Taiwan will come out on top is due to the fact that with Taiwan’s Military strength they could retake the homeland. Especially against a totally disorganized China. Also China won’t be as peaceful as the dissolution of the USSR think the fall of Yugoslavia it will be a lot more like that.

    TL:DR China has a tendency to explode into a bunch of waring factions.

    Edit: I don’t know a lot about Asian History but I will try to answer any other questions you may have to my best ability.

    Retreat, comrades! The China understander has logged on!

    “It was essentially a battle royale for control” :agony-shivering:

    Also, when he refers to Taiwan’s “sheer military strength,” he’s actually talking about the US.

      When you've only read the opening lines to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and now think you are an expert on China.

      :mao-wtf: :wtf-am-i-reading:

      In their current state, Taiwan’s military won’t even be able to defend against a PLA invasion lmao. A lot of their military is made up of conscripts who don’t even want to be there, and who only have to serve for a few months, barely long enough to even know how to function as soldiers, let alone be effective at actually fighting.

          From all I've read, young Taiwanese just want to be Taiwanese at this point and don't want to be Chinese anymore

            the majority of Taiwanese simply want to be Taiwanese.

            It's a bit more complicated than that. Most people in Taiwan probably think of themselves as Taiwanese, similar to how people around the world generally identify with the regions/areas they grew up in and/or live in. But it's important to point out that as of last year only ~1/3 of Taiwanese people were in favor of declaring independence from China (source). The other ~2/3 of Taiwanese seem to mostly be grillpilled on the topic of whether Taiwan should be it's own thing or part of China.
