> Taiwan is part of China...
Which ‘China’? The political China, or the cultural China, or ethnic China (ie, with a majority heritage from Chinese descent), or what?
How do you conclude that Taiwan is part of China? And what does it have to do with Xi’ speech or CCP rule?
> But calling into question the term 'reunification' is purely propaganda...
Taiwan has de facto sovereignty, and with a majority support against unification [1]. This is the current status.
So the quote around ‘reunification’ is reflecting the current status.
> ... in order to paint the PRC as trying to invade a foreign country like if they wanted to invade Vietnam or another neighbour.
Sending fighter jets and and bombers to Taiwan sounds more like invasion than ‘reunification’ [2], if you ask me.
If you say the situation is exactly like Germany, are you suggesting that Germany was reunified through military?
And what should happen if the majority of Taiwanese do not want ‘unification’ [1]? Should Taiwan be ‘reunified’ against their will?
