I’m sure this has no meaning given other similar changes taking place in China, and does not need to be viewed in a wider context of militarization, because it will have no impact on the unfolding of our collective futures.
- more_corn 2y agoIt’s ok to say it out loud. China is preparing for war.
- derelicta 2y agoSad to say but I understand them. They don't want to end up like the young Yugoslavian Republic, weak and shattered for ever because of US "interventionism"
- fred_is_fred 2y agoI am curious how this will play out. How does starting a war with your largest economic market help you in the long run? If the US and Europe stop buying from China it will end their economy. Do they have enough customers in Russia, India, unaligned countries?

- candiddevmike 2y ago> They will not try to attack Taiwan after the way the world reacted to the invasion of Ukraine Why do you think that? The world's reaction to the invasion of Ukraine was mostly the political version of hopes and prayers.

- george-in-sd 2y agoSince the CCP has gained control of mainland China they have went to war with: Tibet, Vietnam, India, Burma, Korea. CCP has also have also declared they own land in 17 other countries - not to mention owning the South China Sea.
- refurb 2y ago> The Middle Kingdom has that name of a reason, and little to no history of conquering other countries for centuries. Vietnam? Cambodia? Indian border? Nepal? The list goes on.
- mc32 2y agoWasn’t it more like they got soft after Mao even Deng? They used to have hotwars with Vietnam, skirmishes with Russia and India. They’d send brigades to the countryside to engage in community driven building of whatever, backyard smelters, canal digging, earthworks, etc. they’d let up a few decades, but people are getting too bourgeois for their own good and need some taste of country proletariat.
