That’s fair enough. Internet people can be truly horrible. No harm done!

That sounds like a surefire way for Taiwan to get invaded, since I’m very certain that China does not want more nuclear missiles pointed at it, much less by Taiwan right off its coast. Taiwan might end up like Iran (who the U.S. claimed were developing nukes)

If Taiwan does end up developing nukes without the knowledge of China or other major powers, then you could argue that nuclear deterrance would work. But the intelligence systems of all the global powers is incredibly advanced now, so it would probably be difficult for Taiwan to covertly do something like that (esp given that we know both sides send spies to each other)

I mean the whole deporting populations to somewhere they’ve never been kind of crime against humanity.

I don’t think I said anything about the brainwashing of Chinese people, nor did I romanticise British Hong Kong. I used to live in Hong Kong (post-British) and everything seemed alright, food was good and people were good. I did mention that Taiwan was a result of the KMT fleeing after the civil war, and fair enough, it only remained due to the U.S. fleet being in the waters, and having missiles pointed at you at all times is not nice at all.

edit: It was not directed at me, rather at the comments (in that case I can see how you feel)

That sounds like some sort of crime against humanity
