    I doubt the response will be as hysterical against China when they do decide to take over Taiwan, there are lots of reasons

    Taiwan is not full of white skinned christian people like Ukraine is.
    Taiwan is not even a real country. ie. Not a member of the UN.
    US companies make massive profits from China compared to the relative peanuts they make from Russia.

    Your posting is deeply racialist. Koreans were not white christians either.

    I'm not so sure about your assessment.
    It's definitely in the interest of the white world to emphasize the home grown divisions within the Chinese world and support those Chinese who believe in democratic principles.
    Yes, Taiwan is not a recognize country at the UN due to China’s pressure, but it has all the elements required of a country, defined geographic boundaries, an active defense force to protect its borders, a national currency, an independent judiciary and an elected government (the last 2 are the cherry on the cake).

    From an economic perspective, Taiwan is a tech powerhouse supplying national security required chips and such.

    Finally, the West and the rest of Asia only need to convince China of the foolishness of invading Taiwan. I've said before, the best play Taiwan can make is to agree to merge back with the motherland under 1 condition, that free and fair elections br held on the day of the merging signature...

    I think with hindsight we can see these 2 US corporations were used as propaganda tools to represent an idealized America, the irony being those corporations have made Americans sick and fat.

  9. I used to eat at McD's every day for years and years. And always was skinny. Don't really think there is any truth to it making you fat. Especially since other people claim it does the exact opposite.

    The local brands will be happy to move in. Can you imagine Starbucks pulling out of China when China takes over Island of Taiwan?
