China on Wednesday published its first white paper on Taiwan since Xi Jinping came to power, refusing to rule out force in its bid for unification and blaming the island’s “independence seeking” ruling party for deepening the dispute with Beijing. The paper, which stated China “will tolerate no foreign interference in Taiwan,” comes days after China held unprecedented military drills around the island in the wake of a visit to Taipei by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Buckle up boys, it's tankie time. https://archive.ph/rRDyb
Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing China's complete reunification is a shared aspiration of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. It is indispensable for the realization of China's rejuvenation. It is also a historic mission of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The CPC, the Chinese government, and the Chinese people have striven for decades to achieve this goal.
Nobody cares except communist hard liners and their simps. Also as a fyi, the CCP recently decided that everyone should call it the "CPC" now instead of the traditional CCP, so if you see anyone online using the "CPC" label, they are outing themselves as a tankie. The CCP's name in chinese is 中國共產黨 which breaks down to 中國 = Zhōngguó = China & 共產 = gòng chǎn = communist & 黨 = dǎng = party. So literally "China Communist Party".
The Chinese government has published two previous white papers on Taiwan. One was The Taiwan Question and Reunification of China in August 1993, and the other was The One-China Principle and the Taiwan Issue in February 2000. These two white papers provided a comprehensive and systematic elaboration of the basic principles and policies regarding the resolution of the Taiwan question. This new white paper is being released to reiterate the fact that Taiwan is part of China, to demonstrate the resolve of the CPC and the Chinese people and their commitment to national reunification, and to emphasize the position and policies of the CPC and the Chinese government in the new era.
In other words, to threaten and posture.
I. Taiwan Is Part of China - This Is an Indisputable Fact. Taiwan has belonged to China since ancient times. This statement has a sound basis in history and jurisprudence.
In reality, Imperial China basically ignored Taiwan most of the time, and Taiwan ended up as a pirate haven. [The Japanese eventually invaded Taiwan to retaliate over some Taiwanese headhunters.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_invasion_of_Taiwan_(1874)) Later, Japan made Taiwan a colony, which it remained until the end of WW2 when the Nationalists took over.
We are one China, and Taiwan is part of China. This is an indisputable fact supported by history and the law. Taiwan has never been a state; its status as part of China is unalterable. Any attempt to distort these facts and dispute or deny the one-China principle will end in failure.
So this is pure delusion, just like Putin's little rant right before he invaded Ukraine, and is stated for the same purpose (to rationalize military aggression against a sovereign state).
First, the one-China principle must be upheld, and no individual or force should be allowed to separate Taiwan from China.
They're already separate, and the "One China" policy is a fraud meant to placate the CCP.
Second, it is imperative to strive for the wellbeing of all Chinese people, including those in Taiwan, and to realize the aspirations of all Chinese people for a better life.
By bombing them and starving them into submission with a blockade? lol.
Fourth, it is necessary to have the courage and skill to fight against any force that attempts to undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity or stands in the way of its reunification. Fifth, extensive unity and solidarity must be upheld to mobilize all factors to fight against any force that would divide the country, and pool strengths to advance national reunification.
Just threats and the CCP hard liners wanting to full mobilize for any war. Good luck with that.
We maintain that after peaceful reunification, Taiwan may continue its current social system and enjoy a high degree of autonomy in accordance with the law. The two social systems will develop side by side for a long time to come.
Everyone saw how that worked out for Hong Kong. We all know it's a fraud now.
Separatism will plunge Taiwan into the abyss and bring nothing but disaster to the island.
Annnnnnd there's the threats.
Use of force would be the last resort taken under compelling circumstances. We will only be forced to take drastic measures to respond to the provocation of separatist elements or external forces should they ever cross our red lines.
Like Nancy Pelosi visiting Taiwan.
The US should abide by the one-China principle, deal with Taiwan-related issues in a prudent and proper manner, stand by its previous commitments, and stop supporting Taiwan separatists.
"separatists".
"In a biannual update to its surveys on core political attitudes in Taiwan, National Chengchi University's Election Study Center (ESC) found only 1.3 percent of respondents wanted unification with mainland China "as soon as possible,""
Anyway basically the white paper was almost entirely empty platitudes and the same old bullshit.
Right, it doesn't stop us because we still have technological and manufacturing superiority. China's trying to catch up but a lot but it's still Chinese made shit. Reliability is going to be a huge issue for them.
South Korea has a conservative government and Japan has a nationalist prime minister. I know they're not exactly allies with Taiwan but they also see China as an existential threat.
