The fact you think china is pursuing peaceful unification kind of outs you. They are not giving Taiwan a choice; comply or face death.

Israel: does a genocide

China: flies a plane near a country they’ve been at war with for over 70 years

Liberals: “hmm yes these seem about the same to me”

  Who said anything about being the same? Israel is the worst offender in the world.
  
  China is planning for an invasion of Taiwan, so they’re certainly putting together a backup plan in case Taiwan doesn’t agree to become part of China. Doesn’t seem like they’d need that sort of thing if they were being truly peaceful.

    I mean, they literally are planning for an invasion. Whether they will is up for debate, but they’re definitely designing their naval fleet for it and performing exercises simulationing an invasion.

  Maybe ALL imperialism is war.
  
  Fucking first worlders, they don’t seem to understand that countries want to be left alone seemingly.

    That isn’t even true. Imperialism is often spread through soft power. I thought that was the entire point you were making, that China was exerting soft power in an imperialist manner… if China invades Taiwan, I will be right there with you, calling it out, but history has shown that the CPC is quite restrained, and I see no reason for them to change their approach.
