how about not to selectively ignore the total market size? that is as bad as censorship. $8.74 bln defaulted out of the $11 trillion market [1]. [1] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-07/china-s-1

your analogy is missing the most politically critical part - the 1943 Cairo Declaration explicitly stated that Taiwan belongs to China and it should be "restored" to China. it is a part of the post-WWII world order.

Taiwan's GDP counts for around 4% of the Chinese GDP, to give you more context, Chinese GDP growth slowed down to 6.8% pa, that is still creating 1.5 times of the entire GDP in Taiwan every 12 months. using your logic here, please don&
