CHINA President Xi Jinping's message to TAIWAN

[Song Hong]

Everyone is entitled their own opinion but the ultimate fate of Taiwan is determined by PLA. UK would like to keep HK far more than Falklands, but none of their army personnel is willing to fight PLA.

No Indians wants to face the wrath of PLA. Else Indians can just march up their division into Aksai Chin or Medog.

Beijing can have a much powerful passport is Beijing was a country, but Beijing is better to be with China cause passport is not the only thing to judge overall benefits. Besides, you don't seem to know "one country, two system", that means they can still have their own ID documents.

China don't seem to be bothered at all.

The rating is undoubtedly biased.
It is insequential in view of the ongoing pandemic of the Delta Virus as the whole idea is to keep the usual 140 million Chinese tourists safely at home.

You are wrong. You underestimated the power of 1.4 billion Chinese people.

One can't underestimate the power of US too.

“people to people” contacts between different industry associations on the Mainland and Taiwan.

Those ended under the Xi Jinping era in an attempt to blackmail the DPP government but it ended up making the DDP even more popular.

Which is why it will probably come back, just in a different form

China had overestimated US for decades and we gradually realize US is never that powerful.

Do you think the United States will fight a nuclear war for Taiwan and China?

Don’t underestimate Nature and Geology, the Taiwan Strait isn’t the English Channel, nor is Taiwan the Plain of France.

All I’m saying Taiwan is an island fortress won’t be easy to invade as you all believe.

Taiwan TV street interview: How Taiwanese youth think about "2 years Mandatory Military Service law"

Replies are: It's useless, people will refuse to go to war anyway.
It's waste of time, it's just like a summer camp.
We'll just die if going to a war, there's zero chance we can win a war over mainland China.
Military training won't save our lives, and Taiwan's people are not united.

Question: If Taiwan goes to war with mainland China, would you like to join and fight?
Reply: Certainly not, I'll find a place to hide
We can fight but it's meaningless, we can never win.
No one likes to go to war...
Young people don't want to go to war and don't want to waste such a long time on military service
I won't, I don't want to die. Life is meant for more meaningful things.

In the end of the interview, the host shows the answers for the 5 quesions on board, the most chosen one is: "Come on, stop fooling around, what's the point for this conscription law when no one wants to fight and no one wants to go to war?"

So this one video somehow invalidates the forces of Nature?

A very strange situation from various interviews and polls is that many Taiwanese choose independence when being asked about their preference about independence or reunification with the mainland China, but when given only two choices: war or reunification, they pick reunification. This is really 不见棺材不掉泪。

war or reunification

Nobody wants war brother, hopefully both sides can reach some settlement.

Taiwan knows no one will help Taiwan if a war broke out, maybe Indians and some Pakistanis believe US will intervene, but Taiwanese don't. They know exactly what situation they are in now. Sooner or later, Taiwan will come back to China, they can hold it off for 10 years, 20 years, but can they hold PRC off for 30 years....? After PRC's economy accounts for one third of the world total, how far do you think Taiwan can go? Taiwan is not a ship, it can't sail away from China.

Carrot and Stick but the PRC only knows how to use the stick.
