    ...wouldn't the population of Taiwan be discouraged by the western response to that?

    It basically amounted to small groups of war tourists from western countries, lots of money spent on weapons shipments which may or may not have made it, and public browbeatings while Ukraine itself gets torn asunder (and nothing else)

      Redditors don't give a shit about Taiwan though, its just something they use to jerk themselves off with because it makes China mad or something. The only reason they would take issue with China invading Taiwan would be that they can't get their vibeo gane GPUs any more. EDIT: Taiwanese people for the most part (large plurality if not majority) prefer the status quo, so they are more sensible and try not to get themselves killed. This provocation is because of the DPP and US being dipshits.

        Also 中山 must be rolling in his grave to see how pathetic and milquetoast the KMT has become. Blue skin green heart cowards.

          It took me a loooong minute to find out who you meant by 中山 but then it hit me. My Japanese is very rusty but I can read some Chinese because of it and I was like "who the fuck is middle mountain?"

            Lmao does not help that westerners use the weird outdated romanization of the name he used when studying in Japan. Yat-sen :jesse-wtf:

          In fairness, I'm sure Dr. Sun's corpse has been long disintegrated from the rotational force. Given that one of his protégés tore up the first United Front and started the Civil War, while the other became a collaborating toadie for Japan.
