Can someone please tell the Chinese that the Taiwanese don't want to be "unified"? It probably won't matter. It never does with authoritarian regimes. But what is the harm in saying it?
Taiwan for China is like a Cuba was for US. An island that is strategically too close & even i understand their worries, if Taiwan decided that they are independant then so it is. If the Taiwanese people would meet Chinese troops with such a hate as Ukrainians met Russians, landing could end up in huge fiasko, not to mention the fact that the China would have to assamble a massive force for such operation. Massive.
China shit the bed with HK. If they had handled that correctly, maybe they could have had a peaceful reunion of Formosa. My dad was stationed there in the late 60's. He said that their coastal defenses were pretty robust. It's not gonna be like invading Daytona Beach. On top of that, they will end up destroying the economy of both China's.
