The Chinese leader's message in San Francisco got the attention of U.S. officials because it was delivered at a meeting that was intended to reduce tensions.

    Yeah but they actually both wanted it.

    Taiwan, judging from the enormous amounts of military material it has invested in, doesn’t really want to be friends with china, let alone be conquered by it

        There is currently one China. It just goes by the name Taiwan. The CCP is as Chinese as my local takeout.

          You must be one of those people that can’t accept when civil wars are lost. I’m assuming you’re also waiting for the South to rise again.

                Read up on the resolution of the Chinese Civil War and the (nominal) government-in-exile that is Taiwan

                  At what point has enough time gone on before Taiwan is no longer a government in exile? Maybe 5-10 years, but that war ended in 1949. If you really think China and Taiwan should fight to death to determine who’s the true ruler than I think that’s pretty fucked up. Maybe you think the US should be a British colony again? Or maybe Ukraine should be part of Russia again? At this point the CCP has controlled China longer than the Kuomintang did, so I think that means they win.

                    I think Taiwan should wait out authoritarian communism’s inevitable collapse and then come to the rescue with real solutions.
