Reunification ‘is unstoppable’, says Chinese president, a day after the conclusion of intense military drills

Thoughts?

Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

      I am very critical of it. It’s authoritarian and can only lead to horrible dictatorships. This is because “the public is too dumb to decide what’s good for them” is built into the ideology. You will end up with strongmen or party loyalists corrupting any good intentions there may have been in the beginning. They’re going to enrich themselves and give themselves more power, every time.

      New aristocracy, same as the old aristocracy

      I’m going to stop here, give you the last word. Thanks!
