Shockingly, the US would not be given a say and would be left to react. Which means the entire thing becomes a blood bath if the US doesn’t prevent it prior.
It’s absolutely unsubstantiated. I’m just aware that the US does that quite a lot, especially to proxies such as Taiwan. They’re a strategic trading partner. So I’d be surprised if the US wasn’t involved in getting that party elected somehow.
Whines and claims to have been attacked and makes another unsubstantiated claim to back up the pretense.
Keep on following it. Surely some folk have not caught on yet!
Are you going to take part of a comment out of context and act all offended next ?
The US wields immense geopolitical power; of course they get a say. That’s not to say that it could prevent an annexation if the CCP wanted it badly enough, but Washington has no shortage of levers to pull to make it as unattractive an option as possible.
Doing things like including Taiwan in Chinese import is a far cry from holding a gun to Taiwan’s head to keep separate from China. There isn’t a mechanism that the USA could use to keep China out if the Taiwanese government invited China in.
I doubt the US would allow a merger. TSMC is too important to fall into CCP’s hands. Not to mention the amount of US ordnances that stored in Taiwan.

Are we going to sit here pretending that the US doesn’t interfere in their elections orrrrr?
And yet another unsubstantiated claim, hmmmm.

Doubles down upon unsubstantiated claim when called out.
Such an easy script to follow.
Zero reason to be toxic about the comment I made.
Edit: Your post history is the toxic waste suspected, it’s clear a bunch of people think you’re unreasonable.

Sorry, I wasn’t looking at the original context of the comment chain - you’re right that the picture changes a great deal if Taiwan is complicit.
