TJ you are so lucky to have me to give the degrees of freedom point of view. While murderous totalitarian megalomaniacs like to conquer, subjugate, kill, confiscate, order around and generally act like Kim the Fatter, that's not how the world works. The Beijing bosses have conquered Tibet, confiscated the people and property of Hong Kong without even showing appreciation for the great and glorious British Empire that enabled people to go there, breed like bunnies and build the best place on the planet by many metrics.note 1 Now they want to do the same to the lovely people of Taiwan. Nasty violent totalitarians need to be kept in their box. If people in Quebec, Ireland, New Zealand, Crimea, Luhansk, Catalonia, Singapore, Serbia, Greenland, Canada etc wish by clear 70% majority wish to join or separate from some other country or federation then by all means, do so. Even 51% might justify such a change. But most people frown on totalitarian thugs threatening and conquering these days. China should restrain itself from such ideas. Perhaps they wish to conquer the world. Better we the other 7 billion nip that in the bud. If Taiwan was a threat to China, just as Gaza was a threat to Israel, and Ukraine became a threat to Russia after Nuland conquered Kiev, then I'd agree that China could reasonably go militaristic on Taiwan. But that's not the case, though as you explained and I separately confirmed with a visiting Taiwan trade delegation, Taiwan has in their constitution that they'll take over China. So that's questionable unless it's in a happy referendum by China to adopt such an idea, in accordance with Mq's rules on international relations. Mqurice Note 1. The British were doing the dirty in Hong Kong by encouraging the idea of democracy which had not applied for 100 years. That was fortunate because voting to take opm and pour public money into retarded ideas, as well as corruption is now normal in democracies. Maybe Beijing will be a better ruler than UK which can't even run itself other than into the ground.
