This is the pure ideology I'm talking about. "Unresolved conflicts"
"I really wanted to also control that territory" is not a conflict. I'm sorry you don't like the status quo. But they are geographically distinct, they exist under different governments. One China Policy was founded as a lie. If you want to be lied to, if you want to be pandered to like that, you are baby.
you mean chinese territory that the fascist losers of a still unresolved civil war against communists fled towards and the only reason they were allowed to exist and not lose completely was foreign intervention and imperialism by the US. If without imperial intervention and medling Taiwan ,a part of China before the revolution, would have been no different in being liberated and part of the PRC as any other part of China then it is its existance that is a historical lie and a colonial remnant
It honestly doesnt matter how you think things ought to be, this is how they are. Online poster FirstToServe thinks one china is bullshit? Cool, cool. Unfortunately nuclear power China that is 180km from Taiwan disagrees with you.
"It honestly doesn't matter how you think things ought to be" is literally my thesis here lmao
NuClEaR pOwEr ChiNA 180km from Taiwan isn't going to do shit. It doesn't matter what they think as long as they insist on this rhetorical lie that is OCP. Taiwan isn't theirs. They would have to fight a war to claim it, and that war would be the end of life on earth. So the status quo will remain.
If you think differently you're huffing ideology from a paint can.
“It honestly doesn’t matter how you think things ought to be” is literally my thesis here lmao
I dont think it is. If it is it’s incoherent. Your thesis mostly seems to be “im gonna pretend all these shitposters actually want nuclear war and get mad about it”
It doesn’t matter what they think as long as they insist on this rhetorical lie that is OCP
Who agrees with you? Redditors? You really think thay calling OCP a lie means the US can be as provocative as they want?
Like you’re out here saying were all huffing pure ideology because we think China is within its rights to tell the US to fuck off, meanwhile your reasoning is based on ignoring the status quo you’re so excited to maintain.
“I really wanted to also control that territory” is not a conflict. I’m sorry you don’t like the status quo.
How about "the delusional losers who had to flee to a tiny island due to their own rampant corruption and ineptitude maintain a claim to all of my country, so I'm going to do the same right back."?
From what I can tell you're saying china should capitulate to avoid nuclear war. Should the US form joint military relationships with Taiwan military? Should they build bases in Taiwan? That is what's coming next. You're aware that the US basically sees Taiwan as an ideal forward operating base for a strike against China right?
A generational civil war in which there has been no fighting. One country that has two geographically distinct regions controlled by two distinct governments.
Implicit in these statements are how they are lies.
Interesting timing
mmmmyes very intereting lets do some analysis
:blob-no-thoughts: China and Taiwan are the same country
:blob-no-thoughts: China and Taiwan are two totally independent countries with no unresolved conflicts

I'm sorry... who do you think adjudicates what countries are and aren't allowed to do?

Very real material effects on the world, such as [checks notes]

Oh okay nuclear war it is

This framing is genuinely fucking unhinged. "Capitulation" as if this were a battle already. Over a diplomatic visit.
So what if 'what comes next' is what you say? You're saying we should pull the trigger on the apocalypse over a slippery slope?
Good. Death to America.

I for one greatly prefer a paper war and see a meaningful distinction there.
