Taiwan is a region of China. CPC is the legal government of China. Are those two facts so difficult to get into your head?
I get that's what the CPC's claim is. I just think it's an incredibly faulty claim, given that they've never governed Taiwan. They've just said that they do.
Chinese people dont care what you think.
Good for them. Going to go imperialist by invading a neighboring country that is no threat to them? Because that's what this has become now. If they do this, all claims to be "anti-imperialist" become hollow and false.
Not a country.
War isn't imperialism. Imperialism is an economic system, not just something you call any and all military action by any large country. Imperialism is an elevated form of capitalism in which finance-capital has evolved to become such a power that it merges with the state and uses all state powers in the pursuit of the expansion of capital abroad. Imperialism isn't one specific action, it is an entire state of being of a country. Like capitalism, but at its highest stage.
Read the thread again. Not a neighboring country, but a region of China.
China is rapidly becoming the most powerful and richest country in the world. No country will care about cheap slander from the collapsing US.
Feel free to keep that view, but I'm sticking with how people live their lives instead of how the CPC's ideology wants things to be.
China shouldn't get too overconfident there. How's the housing market? And the aging population?
