I think it is possible to unify China without bloodshed and war. The way to do it is via social media and the ballot box. Recent history has shown that it is possible to effect major policy changes in representative democracies around the world in this fashion.
- DeonPenny 6y agoYou are talking as if those would happy in a communist country. It hasn't really worked out in western countries that well we people tried to do this
- polotics 6y agoDo you mean to say Xi's crony communist party would somehow get voted out of power on the mainland? (This is a question mark)
- nickik 6y ago> Recent history has shown Or has it shown that a losing party will grasp at any straw to explain why they failed? Advertisement has been a major part of democracies for 100s of years.
- ginko 6y agoFrom what I can tell the CCP would never allow a democratic vote on this issue. Even for unification. From their POV eventual reunification is something the populace of Taiwan has no say on.
- jki275 6y agoFrom their point of view, there is no need for "reunification", as Taiwan is simply a rogue province that will eventually be forced back into line.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI agree, but this is kind of self-defeating behavior by the CCP. Human nature being what it is, saying "We own you and you have no say in the matter" elicits a response of "Oh, yeah? We'll see about that". If Taiwan is ever going to unite with China peacefully, it is going to come after China changes its stance.
