minus-square Pons_Aelius ( @Pons_Aelius@kbin.social ) linkfedilink7•5 months ago Which China has never ruled True, the CCP claiming The Philippines would be seen as ridiculous by the rest of the world. Then again, the CCP has never ruled Taiwan either…
minus-square gnuhaut ( @gnuhaut@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilink15•5 months ago Then again, the CCP has never ruled Taiwan either… Oh yeah that’s like exactly the same situation. Send US military to “protect” one side in the Chinese civil war and occupy parts of China. Say you’re in favor of eventual peaceful reunification, but actually prevent it for decades. Break promise and claim the territory was never really part of China to begin with. Pretend you’re the victim and China is “expansionist”. World War 3?
