minus-squareYeetPics@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoRight, you’re saying that in hindsight. When a tyrannous dictator preaches reunification as a descriptor when outlining their future plans the context changes a bit. Hope that helps :)
minus-squareFilthmontane@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoThat’s pure speculation on your part. Xi specifically stated the goal is peaceful reunification.
minus-squareYeetPics@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year ago speculation Well when all the direct quotes I read don’t match the history I have to speculate on what XI really means. He said he wants to reunify Taiwan, he didn’t send me a PDF of his specific strategy. You’re speculating that it will be peaceful with the same logic. I still remember what was happening in Taiwan just a few days before COVID hit. Do you?

minus-squaredvoraqs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoDid they say how? Peace would be preferred, but the Taiwanese need to be willing to cooperate.
