minus-squareFilthmontane@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down5·11 months agoThat’s pure speculation on your part. Xi specifically stated the goal is peaceful reunification.
minus-squareYeetPics@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·11 months ago speculation Well when all the direct quotes I read don’t match the history I have to speculate on what XI really means. He said he wants to reunify Taiwan, he didn’t send me a PDF of his specific strategy. You’re speculating that it will be peaceful with the same logic. I still remember what was happening in Taiwan just a few days before COVID hit. Do you?

minus-squareYeetPics@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·11 months agoUhm, isn’t a bridge the means of producing safe travel across a span? You should get the wall for owning means of production.
