Taiwan and Tibet are part of China, but has a deal to keep the governments mostly separate until a certain date. China has made some efforts to make the changes gradual. There has been some resistance to the changes, but they are largely exaggerated or directed and paid for by the West. The U.S. official behind the murderous Contras in South America now heads a program that's paid at least $29 million to HK terrorists. Having read the CIA documents that instructed the contras to destabilize and overthrow South American states, I have no doubt there is effectively anti-China Contras/terrorists receiving the same or similar instructions and training. China is using it's power to dramatically improve parts of the world that the US has become dependant on exploiting. The West is very interested in creating a barrier between China and the Pacific to limit it's access to trade with the Americas and elsewhere. Thankfully China has many contingency plans for this and Trump's off-putting style of diplomatic relations may lose the US from friends. A better world could emerge with China's leadership, but HK, Taiwan and elsewhere may suffer attacks on civilians from US-backed thugs, and of course damage to infrastructure designed to hurt their economies. America's track record in this has not been great, and I doubt their strategy against China is fought with even more short-comings.
- dmdmmfmfm 7y agoThe sad part is that no one wants to be part of China. This is like a forced marriage or worst a rape of other people’s liberty. Extremely one sided.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y ago> Taiwan <snip>, but has a deal to keep the governments mostly separate until a certain date. I only dabble, occasionally, in reading things on the internet related to ROC (Taiwan) and PRC (China), but I've not come across anything supporting the idea there is a certain date for reunification, or that reunification is certain.
- throwaway1997 7y agoThere isn't. GP is confusing Taiwan and Tibet for Hong Kong/Macau. TW and Tibet are territories claimed by China whereas HK and Macau are indisputably Chinese cities but under a special arrangement which theoretically should give them more autonomy.
- lerno 7y agoPure desinformation. Taiwan is and remains an independent country despite the wishes of the Mainland Chinese regime.
- akvadrako 7y agoTaiwan (ROC) also claims that they are the rightful government of the mainland. So I don't know how you can claim they are independent.
- jobigoud 7y agoThey are two independent countries claiming rights to the same spot of land. It's like any other international disputed territories except here the territories in dispute represents the entirety of the countries. Just because a country is enclaved into another doesn't mean that it looses its independence as soon as the wrapping country claims it.
