- China and Taiwan, de facto separate political entities since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. Today, the central issue is the political status of Taiwan. A cross-straits confrontation would have high stakes. READ MORE: str.sg/wBVs [For subscribers]

Pelosi is a neocon warmonger, so whatever she says is just crap.

Governor Tsai shall learn from Zelenskyy.
Context is different though, Ukraine is a sovereign nation, taiwan isn’t and still part of China
Why Taiwan is NOT Ukraine - Video by PolyMatter
Taiwan is US ATM.
Best description..
Truth be told. Chiang Kai Shek lost the mainland.
The truth is Chiang Kai Shek lost China and fled to Taiwan in 1949 when the island was owned by Japan legally.
nice one chinese troll lol. communisst were just oportunists in the vaccum of japanese loss
The more Taiwan thinks about the world, the more it should volunteer to be part of China mainland. Sweden and Finland join NATO for a reason.
So you're suggesting that a well-stablished democracy should "volunteer" to become part of an authoritarian, surveillance state? that's not how things work.
It's happening
Yep, it's happening.
Straits Times failed to explain why a growing younger generation in Taiwan see themselves as Taiwanese instead of being Chinese. This has got to do with the removal of all links to Chinese Mainland from textbook teachings to building landmark renaming and glorification of local identities. Contrast that with South Korea and it will put all Chinese to shame.
And you failed to explain China's constant bullying of Taiwan is what led to it
Could you explain what about South Korea?
@@nasi364 please define bullying...in my mind the biggest bully is USA, after conquering all the land it want such as California from Mexico, Hawaii, Guam and etc it is telling the world how to behave and what political system every country must adopt.
@@M43782 I think it's quite obvious. Read more into the Korean peninsula interaction to understand.
There is no “removal of ALL links to Chinese Mainland”, just changed the proportion
One Taiwanese in his early 30s feels exclusive being a Taiwanese!!
So it could just be like sg
Not wanting to be "owned" by larger countries!!
Hello! SG is totally different from the strat we are totally different from the Taiwan context.
The people in Taiwan have to ask themselves a question. Are they willing to fight to the last man standing, like the Ukrainians are expected to do?
Slavo fighting Slavo. Chinese fighting Chinese. I smell outsiders coming provoking... 😥
Taiwanese don't even think PLA has the ability to cross the Formosa strait at all.
lol china is not russia, chinese do not have a russian style military with any real history of victory other than killing their own people. Also Taiwan has nuclear weapons and dirty bombs. The world loves russia, the world hates china.
Imagine dying in a US proxy war for their hom0 empire
It’s only a matter of time….
The show got to end one day.
Pelopsi had just landed. She kept to her word. Respect.
Respect Pelopsi ? You must be nuts !
Who would respect a neocon warmonger ?
Hope US can back me up, i wan to declare independce for yishun
I will vote for u
Lol, I also want independence in the CCK/ BP region. Lol lol
Taiwan just has to announce its nuclear weapons are ready to deliver to beijing
The assumption is that the U.S. will build military bases in Taiwan Island, if Taiwan government declare independence. If the Singaporeans want a war in the far east, because China does not actively putting military pressure on the Taiwanese government, the Taiwan government needs to pull the trigger to make the island into a battlefield, like Ukraine, which is unlikely. During the World War II, the U.S. made Okinawa a battlefield, in which the U.S. military forces killed hundreds thousands of civilians in the island.
Shenzen is the new economic zone and ancestral home for Taiwaneses and Singaporeans. Dreadful to think Taiwan should aim their guns at mainland China because Taiwan feels threaten ? Aiming your missiles at your ancestral home because you are threaten is not an accuse . Annihilation of southern china or other cities in China is woke and US posturing for might is right ? Destroy your ancestral home is why Taiwan is a rabid dog barking when approach . Ban Taiwanese from doing business in the mainland before you start a war will definitely bring hardship for all.
All Taiwan needs is nuclear dirty bombs aimed at Beijing
Taiwan could have followed a very prosperous path
they did, lol china is running out of food locking down its peopel for population control lol
Force is the only path to Unification.
yes, forcing china to obet the new world order and being invaded by Russia
And I think its about time. 73 yesrs has passed. Time to.act.
