      Yeah well OCP is a joke China has been telling on itself since it began. And a buildup of troops would be a different conversation entirely, but it's not one we're having right now. That's not what China is threatening war over.

          It's not real in any way that doesn't stem from China demanding to be patronized. They do not hold Taiwan. They would provoke world ending conflict to change that fact.

          That's what is real.

                  The terms are such that they agree to pretend the de facto is not so. On its own terms it's not real. It's not a misconception.

                  It’s not real in any way that doesn’t stem from China demanding to be patronized.

                  Hey look I already said what you said here. Wow it sure is frustrating to have 2 out of 3 sentences completely ignored.

        Because of the OCP. Taiwan would have been Okinawa-ed other wise military wise
