Thoughts?

Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

    No-one in the government of Taiwan considers themselves the true government of China. But they’re stuck with the old constitutional claims from the 1940s still on the paper because any change to reflect reality would be called a “declaration of independence” by China, and trigger a military reaction.
