500 years of western imperialism is what the Chinese are responding to

Why is western imperialism bad? If Taiwan is a victim of imperialism and the mainland is resisting it, then apparently the West has been a positive influence, because your side of the strait is an absolute disaster.

'Why is western imperialism bad?'
It probably depends on your perspective.
Chinas experience of The Opium Wars may have influenced their viewpoint.

It's not China's viewpoint. It's your viewpoint. If Taiwan is accepting arms sales from the United States, then obviously not everyone in the Chinese speaking world shares your opinion. I'm inclined to believe this is more of a Soviet-manufactured sob story than a real grievance that would justify bombing Taiwan today. Typical communist victim narrative.

No it is Chinas viewpoint.
They experienced The Opium Wars- I didn't.
I am simply a neutral observer free of bias.

Communist China. If I win WW3 then my viewpoint becomes China's viewpoint. How did you win the mainland in the first place?

reply

They experienced The Opium Wars- I didn't.
The Opium Wars taught China the toxic nature of western imperialism.

You're just evading the issue. Britain's dealings with the Qing are not at all comparable to modern day peaceful trade between the US and the Republic of China.

Like I said, communist taqiyya.

China learned the nature of the western imperialist...nothing has changed...except China has now won the trade war and has all the refined rare earths that the Zionist puppet petrodollar empire needs.

China learned and beat the western imperialists at their own game.

You're still evading. You're selling past the sale. I haven't accepted your definition of China. But you just ignore the real issue and regurgitate the party lines. Apparently you not knowing Chinese has become a serious impairment to your understanding of the situation.
