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.
Right CBC, a famous Chinese nationalist source. 🤡
Taiwan is part of China.
Quin Dynasty ceded Taiwan to Japan in 1895. It remained part of Japan until 1945 when Japan surrender to the United States at the end of WW2. It was then handed over to the Republic of China in 1945 and remains with that government through today. The people living in Taiwan have their own government, history, and sense of nationalism that’s many generations separate and distinct from anyone else.

Australians really are champing at the bit for war with China.

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
