China has been warning the world for several decades, that it considers Taiwan to be on its side of that line in the sand.
But Taiwan had been an open democracy for several decades, and it has a population of
tens of millions of people. !!
It was a choice, which those people eventually made, after they fled mainland China , in the 1940's.
It was a choice, to not live under Communist Chinese authority.
Q.Today, if China invades or attacks Taiwan, will the rest of the 'free word' abandon
those tens of millions of free people,
to the 'mercies' of a tyrant and a murderer like Xi Jinping, and to the constraints of the CCP ?
Xi Jinping is a thug and a murderer.
That means we must always submit to his demands.
Because that is what is in our own best interests.
......OR IS IT?

Quote: Everything they do, whether it is seemingly innocuous, such as measuring a mountain or putting a rover on Mars, is a means of claiming sovereignty, of enlarging the People's Republic. Now, of course, there are, in addition to these incursions, China's militant, hostile, belligerent acts.... The question is, what are we going to do about it?
China will land a Rover, its Rover, on Mars in either May or June.... China's officials have been talking about moon and Mars as if they are sovereign Chinese territory -- part of the People's Republic.
They look at near heavenly bodies the same way they do the South China Sea, something that should be theirs. This means that if they get there, China believes it has the right to exclude other nations.

Quote:IMO, ppl like yourself seem to want a 'peace' at any cost.
But, imo morality, or life, doesn't work like that.
Peace comes from defending open truth.But your logic seems to be;
'Wanting' something, will produce it.Or;
'
If we give bullies what they want, surely, they will be satisfied, and leave us alone.'
They won't.
If you give a bully/thug, what he wants, he will come back again, and again.
And eventually he will take from you, everything that you own.
And the last thing the bully/the thug, will take from you, is your life.
The appeasement of evil men, does not lead to peace.
.
IMO, this generation has lost the ability to discern between good and evil, between truth and falsehood.
As individuals, we all know, or as adults, we should know by now!, that
if we walk away from truth, we will [always!] reap confusion in our lives.
Q.
Are the lives of the people of Taiwan worth fighting for ?
Is your own life, worth fighting for ?
