yes, we had a damn war 56 years ago, with 500,000+ Chinese soldiers dead
but it was the fault of two stupid goverbments, not the people of two nations, the soldiers of both sides are human beings, not robots or wood...

For how many of the past 200 years has Taiwan been under the direct political control of Beijing?

Well I can think of one stupid government that starved 50 million of its own people to death in about 1960 something.I can think of one stupid, treasonous president that sold missile technology to another stupid government that now aims its missiles at the United States, but doesn’t have a reason to.You only aim nuclear missiles at someone you want to be ready to kill over a small island that was never really your own.I can think of one stupid government that kills girl babies by law ,to the point it will have to use the 19 million left over men as cannon fodder.I can think of one stupid government that keeps a dog like North Korea on a leash, but not so tight as to let them try to destroy the middle east with nuclear weapons in the hands of dictators and terrorist states.
A government is made by the people and for the people it represents. Governments do not happen by dragon bone magic.

No, Taiwan is under the US’ nuclear umbrella.

You can verify this at the United Nations database.

“Get out of Tibet too.”

The tectonic plate that Tibet (and the Himalayans) sits on is moving northeast and into the China plate. Some sort of cosmic message there perhaps.

It is too bad that threads where we try to get some information, and perhaps even share in the Chinese people's grief and pain, are so infused with the propaganda fed to the Chinese. Some of the posts on the other threads look like they could be written by some official in the party rather than some 15 year old kid. Things like “we can disagree, but chaos and loose control are not good for anybody”. I sort of hope it is some “higher up” than some poor deluded 15 year old. One of my other favorites was something like “we find more important to have wealth than some ideology”. Just like in Myanmar, I always hope that the people will rise up against their governments. And not just because of delays, etc. which of course happen when roads, railways, etc. are wiped out. But when they see the thievery, poor construction in their buildings and infrastructure, etc. But - it doesn't seem to be. Looks the commies in China still have a pretty good grip on things and their indoctrination methods are solid. All of that said, my prayers for the many millions of people affected by this disaster. Although the death toll will be in the 10's or 100's of thousands, the injured, homeless and affected will be millions.

So far I find most of these new sign ups, since last night, seem to be what they say they are. The unusual statements are partly due to different cultural poetics and the fact that they are struggling to translate into English IMO. Having fought (on FR) with real ChiCom agents for some time I see a difference. So far.

According to the History of Tibet China never had any real control until 1950 when it brutally invaded. In fact Tibet had control over China in more substantive ways more than once in the past.
