Been saying that every near year since 1949.

They say it at Chinese New Year, too.

If Xi really wanted to unify with Taiwan he’d allow opposition parties, free speech, elections for leadership, free religion etc…

Then people in Taiwan might consider the possibility.

But communist just want totalitarian one party dictatorship.

Every time people in civilized nations buy Chinese made $hit they strengthen the Chinese military. In ten years the Eastern Hemispere will be much,much different than it is today.

China doesn’t need Biden’s blessing. The American Empire is over extended and declining. Soon it won’t matter if the president is Biden or Trump. Either way, America won’t be able to defend Taiwan.

Utter nonsense.

They said the same thing when Clinton was president.

What do you imagine Trump would do to prevent Chinese reunification?

The United States has had a one China policy since 1983, and in effect since 1972.

As I said, it’s unpredictable.
However, putting a warship in between China and Taiwan in international waters could pose a problem. Is China really going to fire on a warship?

Iran or China will sink at least one carrier in the next five years, unless the US empire collapses first.

Some people are entitled to their communist nationalism. The old goat Frankie made a pac with the communist.. Chinese. Kinda like our godfather Joey. No American Catholic politician is going to go against their holy father…. Somehow we the people owe the world's peoples who never ate a pancake!

If things get really bad in the U.S. domestically (migrants, crime, mostly peaceful riots, etc.), and our economy and finances are teetering, and our military is depleted sending so much to Ukraine and Israel ... then yes, China might chance firing on our warship.

American Catholic politicians have gone against the Holy Father on abortion almost from the get-go, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Dodd, Mario Cuomo, etc.
