    Your sources are great, if you wanted to support the claim that western media is saber rattling around China. They do a great job of framing stuff like “China flies jets in Chinese airspace” as aggressive moves on China’s part.

      And where are your sources which support your point of view?

          Citing a four-volume series, which I don’t have on my shelf, doesn’t count as providing a source. This is not a current news article, it is a collection of essays.

          Furthermore because the author is Xi Jinping, this is a first-party source which makes it biased by default - it is inherently self-interested, it cannot be otherwise. This would only be a valid counter if I had posted a link to a publication produced by the government of Taiwan itself, written by its president.

          Reuters, AP News, the Guardian, and Al Jazeera (among the sources I linked) are all far more reliable and more importantly independent third-party sources.

            Oh, sorry, didn’t realize you wanted me to take you seriously and you also didn’t want to read what Chinese government officials think of the situation. You dont have to read the whole book, you can just read the relevant sections.

              You still haven’t provided any credible independent third-party sources.

                And neither have you? You’re citing bourgeois media. Do you think that theyre some impartial observers and not aligned with the interests of their capitalist class?

                  You’re deflecting.
