    It looks the Ukraine served as a wake up call for Taiwan, shifting public opinion towards reunification and leaving the ruling DPP increasingly unpopular. CBC was moaning just recently that many young Taiwanese have little appetite for a military confrontation with the mainland. The most probable outcome now seems to be that the US-puppet administration will get thrown out, paving the way for the KMT’s return to power and the resumption of a direct dialogue on reunification.

    A historical point that people tend to forget about is that the KMT was already advancing on a path toward peaceful reunification back in 2014. The proposed framework involved maintaining Taiwan’s autonomy, its own military, and having a representative within the mainland’s political structure. It was precisely at this juncture that the US backed the sunflower movement successfully derailed the process and brought the DPP to power. Now, with shifting public sentiment, it looks like that particular American political operation has finally run its course.

      No, not even the kmt is looking for the CPC to take over Taiwan. Chinese nationalist sources do not provide accurate information about Taiwan. The entire CPC claim that the kmt somehow representing Taiwan ever since they lost their war in China is just silly.

        Not really

        Australia as a nation is dependent on China buying our minerals, meats and education.

        I think its because the US is mommy to world and she is a bit cray cray right now
