Chinese authorities announced Wednesday that a number of diehard “Taiwan secessionist” individuals, two funds, and multiple companies related to secessionist activities will be punished in accordance with the law, after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi landed in Taiwan island Tuesday night in disregard of stern warnings from China, a visit that has sent a wrong message to “Taiwan independence” forces and has escalated the tension across the Taiwan Straits.
Taiwan does not have a choice but to ally with the US.
I appreciate reading some opinions from Taiwan but how much Parenti have you actually read? The US will lead your country toward destruction, does not care how many die as long as it deals a blow to China. This has been the case throughout history when a small country is caught in a tug of war between the US and a large power that threatens its economic hegemony. I can't help but feel your analysis is clouded by nationalism.
Peaceful unification with China is an alternative to the path that leads to certain conflict. You think the US will stop at trade agreements? You think the CIA isn't already involved in preparing anti-China separatist groups for violence? They don't care if Taiwan wins or has independence, they will send Taiwanese into proxy conflict as cannon fodder and sleep well knowing there are degrees of separation between nuclear powers.

China doesn't need Taiwan. It can play the long game and wait for it to fall in its orbit or not.
Any conflict with Taiwan could conceivably last decades. No one knows what kind of crazy underground bases are on the back end of the island.
