Mainland China says Taiwan is still it possession. To prove it the mainland is prepared to blow it off the face of planet earth.
Psychotic leadership? Do ya think?
China needs a broken leg and a bloody nose, very bad.
It’s getting too big for it’s britches.
It’s also taking advantage of the current situation in Japan...
You must’ve misinterpreted the context.
IMO, it should be interpreted as following:
“Mainland China claims that Taiwan is still a part of China, and they will be forced to take it back by force, or even erase it from the map, if Taiwan or anyone tries to challenge this territorial integrity.”
It makes more sense in this way, putting aside what might truly happen under that scenario.
Sometimes you have to destroy the village to save it.
