    Taiwan is internationally recognized as a province of China. And the US has been putting their psychopathic military into the province. Like I said, there are US soldiers stationed 4 miles off the coast the mainland. Are you aware of what American soldiers do in Okinawa during peacetime?

    Taiwan is totally innocent, other than the 40 years of white terror, but the CPC has no interest in harming Taiwan. It’s immediate interest is in ensuring that the psychotic white supremacist mass murderers don’t continue to build up their operations where they can start firing into mainland civilian populations. Their long-term objective is to finish the healing process between and among Chinese people that was interrupted by the American empire when it decided to make Taiwan province a protectorate because China dared to attempt to stop the Americans from genociding half of Korea.

    Again. This is Western brain damage. You literally cannot conceive of a country and a military that doesn’t operate the same way as the Western militaries do. You project all of your guilty conscience onto others and assume that everyone is equally bad and that’s why it’s OK for the US to try to stop China, because if they’re both bad then who ever fires the first shot is now the evilest one. It’s delusion.

    China is preparing for the constantly threatened military action by the US. Pete Hegseth did a tour of Southeast Asia where he said everyone needs to prepare for war with China. Under his tenure, the US has launched multiple unprovoked attacks and documented and celebrated at least 60 war crimes against civilians. But then you look back at the last 50 years of US foreign policy and what you see is an unbroken line of war crimes, unprovoked attacks, devastation, mass murder, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and celebration of the bloodshed.

    Yes, China is actually different, in real measurable publicly demonstrable ways.

    The reason your childish metaphor breaks down is because a whole singular person cannot be occupied by other people. Taiwan is not a person with a head. China is not holding a gun to the heads of leaders. The large area of territory that is the Taiwan province is currently occupied by members of that psychotic military to fire machines guns into refugee camps and bomb hospitals, neonatal units, water supplies, and children’s schools. Yes, The Philippines also hosts those same soldiers and their weapons. Yes, both Taiwan and The Phillipines have large US military bases on them with the supplies required to bomb hospitals, schools, and water supplies. Yes, they host the psychopaths that fire machine guns into refugee camps. Yes, they host the spies who traffick billions worth of heroin across the world.

    Yes. There are real threats in the region. All of them are led by the US. Some of them are Australian, or Japanese, or British, but all of them are led and organized by the US. The US took over the Korean colony from Japan. It took over the Vietnamese colony from France. It took over The Philippines colony from Spain. And it commited genocide, mass murder, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and unspeakable atrocities in every single location. And not only did it not apologize, it openly states that it’ll do it again, and then it does it again Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Cuba. And don’t forget that Afghanistan shares a border with China, and that Iran is very geographically close to China.

    The threats are real and your attempt to downplay them while China has literally not engaged in war for 35 years, and not only are you pretending everyone has equal claim but that actually China is in the wrong for being concerned about the US military presence on its border is just so far beyond the pale that I repeat again, one of us riddled with propaganda, and it’s not me.
