Counting on the US under Trump to save Taiwan is idiotic at best:

I also expect them to perform terrorist attacks inside Taiwan.

I hope critical infrastructure is protected from internal attacks.
They will try to cripple Taiwan from within.

Trump is looking to watch Japan and China destroy each other.

Guys you need dependable defence partners. America will hang you dry, and what a fake blockade means, if america was really your partner they would do similar exercise to do blockade of any of china trade routes here is an easy one - malaca strait, if you guys won't respond with kind, china will consider this as weakness! They only understand wolf warrior diplomacy reply with fake blockade of their trade routes, will you american friends do this much or only send weapons to you like Ukraine!

Taiwan as to blackmail china by saying if China attacks Taiwan then taiwan will destroy TSMC and other semiconductor factories in Taiwan by bombing these factories

Quote
Since they are so big on trying to resolve past grievances, they should think about taking back land from Russia.

Xi could be looking Northeast at a vast territory with almost limitless amounts of oil, natural gas, mineral and other natural wealth practically undefended in Russia. A Russia absorbed by China would create a terrifying Superpower in the east.  What does Taiwan have to offer compared to that?

Blockade drills aren’t confidence. They’re insecurity with hardware.

If the CCP really wants to claim the Manchu achievements and so-called territorial integrity, then perhaps the CCP should focus on Outer Manchuria which was the Qing motherland and truly occupied unlike Taiwan.
...
No country has abused and pillaged from the Manchu more than Russia yet Xi Ji Ping crawls to Putin. What a joke CCP.

Thanks to Russian Assets Trump, Fico, Babish, AFD, Orban !

The US's extremely weak foreign policy which basically only consists of fulfilling Russias wishes is of course an invitation to China taking a more aggressive stance with Taiwan.

'China potentially setting the stage to use military force' against Japan, analyst says
Quote
Japan has scrambled jets to monitor Russian and Chinese air forces conducting joint patrols around the country. China's rising military actions in the area follow Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's comment last month that Tokyo could respond to any Chinese military action against Taiwan that also threatened Japan's security. Bonny Lin, Senior Adviser at CSIS, says that recent developments suggest 'China is potentially setting the stage to use military force if it wanted to'.

Taiwan and South Korea contrasted (the term "colonize" is used loosely in this video):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cy3OF5Pqv8

Quote
Actually the greatest distinction is that Koreans tend to exhibit a more Nietzschean form of morality due to their own psychological characteristics. It's a concept Chinese people have a hard time understanding due to their racial and cultural characteristics as people.

Quote
Japan feels sorry about Taiwan, but when it comes to Korea, the Japanese view it as a very vulgar country and have almost no apology for it.

Quote
It is far more strange and incomprehensible that Japan loves the United States, which killed over one million Japanese civilians with atomic bombs and massive air raids.

Quote
Ryuku people dont like Japan....

Quote
I am in a very difficult position as a Japanese person. Although many people in Taiwan love Japan and feel a sense of cultural and historical affinity toward us, I cannot simply accept that with joy. This is because Japan undeniably caused suffering to both Korea and China in the past, and I believe that the resentment stemming from that history is something we must acknowledge to some extent. I have also believed that facing our own history in that way was the correct attitude.
...
When Mao Zedong issued the Japan–China Joint Communiqué, he sought support from Japan and the United States against the threat posed by the Soviet Union, and he sent a message to the Chinese people that justified forgiving the Japanese and not demanding war reparations. Yet today, as China has risen to become a major power, voices demanding retaliation for Japan’s past atrocities have grown stronger.

South Korea's close ties to China were evident at the recent APEC summit, where Chinese leader Xi Jinping held positive talks with his South Korean counterpart Lee Jae-myung during a three-day state visit. But many ordinary South Koreans feel differently. Mistrust of China is on the rise, fuelled by social media disinformation spread by the far right. Sinophobia is on full display at huge demonstrations that are worrying Chinese communities in South Korea. FRANCE 24's Chloé Borgnon and Justin McCurry report.

Claim sovereignty but holding American flags😂

Quote
Because the U.S helped them win the war and are allies? How slow are you?

Quote
It's similar to cases where far-right protesters in the U.S. carry Israeli flags. Since they are also members of American-style evangelical churches, they often hold both the U.S. and Israeli flags during protests. It's hard to understand them, though.


Quote
Do you have zero clue about the Korean war?

generally most South Korean’s know who their friends and enemies are

the worst is people who use religion as a coverup for their twisted ideas

Behind all extremes, there are religious fanatics. In Korea, such fanatics seem to make up about 10–20% of the total population.

This is real democracy.😂 Easy to pay, easy to manipulate.

Koreans waving American flags and holding signs in English? Huh? Koreans are an extremely proud people; openly admitting that Korea is a U.S. colony isn’t really their style… Something feels kinda fishy here… lol

I personally never liked Hamasaki's music, but I appreciate her professionalism on this occasion. Targeting Japanese pop culture will only make Eurocentrist Xi even more despised:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c997n2zlegzo

Quote
The abrupt cancellations of several Japanese music events in Shanghai - one of them midway through a song - have sparked criticism among fans, with some calling the moves "rude" and "extreme".

Maki Otsuki was halfway through the theme of hit anime One Piece on Friday when the lights and music went off, after which she was rushed off stage by two crew members.

On Saturday, pop star Ayumi Hamasaki performed to an empty 14,000-seat stadium after organisers axed her concert in Shanghai, citing "force majeure".
...
Otsuki's management attributed the interruption of her performance on Friday to "unavoidable circumstances".

"Other than the performance being cancelled, there were no particular problems, and the local staff were very kind and helpful," it wrote in a separate statement on Monday, in which it declined interviews on the matter.

Her performance was part of a three-day music festival in Shanghai, for which subsequent events were also called off after "comprehensively taking into consideration various factors", according to Japan's Kyodo News.
...
Some of Otsuki's fans have made a meme comparing the shutting down of her performance with the shocking removal of China's former leader Hu Jintao during a Communist Party meeting in October 2022. The meme went viral on social media, over the weekend, with some saying Ms Otsuki was given "the Hu Jintao treatment".

On social media, some accused the Chinese authorities of taking away its own people's freedom to enjoy culture, in its attempts to sanction Japan. "What's the point of turning the spearhead toward its own citizens?" read an X post written in Japanese.

"Don't you care about the audience - they are after all Chinese, right?" wrote a user on China's X-like platform Weibo.

George Glass, the United States' ambassador to Japan, joined the conversation online. "It's truly regrettable that there are people who can't feel the power of music,"
...
Hamasaki, who was in Shanghai as part of her Asia tour, said she was suddenly asked on Friday to cancel her concert.

The pop icon went ahead to perform to 14,000 empty seats as part of her appreciation for the "people in the company, the Chinese staff, and the large Japanese family that fought through this tour" she wrote on Instagram.

"I still strongly believe that entertainment should be a bridge that connects people, and I want to be on the side of creating that bridge," she wrote.

Two weeks ago, Chinese state media announced that the releases of at least two popular Japanese anime films will be postponed amid the diplomatic row.

President Lai wades into China-Japan seafood spat with sushi post

https://focustaiwan.tw/politics/202511200023

Quote
Taipei, Nov. 20 (CNA) Taiwan President Lai Ching-te (賴清德) hit back at China's reported suspension of Japanese seafood imports by posing with sushi in a social media post on Thursday.

Lai shared the photos on multiple platforms, writing in the caption that he enjoyed miso soup, and sushi made with seafood from Kagoshima and Hokkaido.

His gesture followed Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung's (林佳龍) call earlier Thursday for Taiwanese to show support for Japan by traveling there and buying more Japanese goods, after Tokyo faced a series of reprisals from Beijing for backing Taiwan.

NHK reported Wednesday that China had informed Tokyo it was halting imports of Japanese marine products to "assess the monitoring of treated and diluted water" from Japan's damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, citing Japanese government sources.

The move came after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said on Nov. 7 that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could qualify as "a situation threatening Japan's survival," potentially triggering a military response.

Lai's post appeared to have raised the ire of Beijing. A Chinese government spokesperson, cited by the state-run Global Times, said "no matter how the Lai authorities put on shows," they can never change the "irrefutable fact" that "Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory."

I especially like the advice of assuming surrender declarations are false. With deepfakes nowadays, it is important not to take apparently realistic content at face value. It is indeed likely that, in the event of military invasion, "New China" will claim immediate Taiwanese surrender as an attempt at self-fulfilling prophecy, therefore Taiwan pre-emptively undermining this is a good response.

I am not opposed to reunification in theory, but the worst time for it to occur is under the Xi administration, and the worst way for it to occur is via military invasion, which (especially in combination with lack of will to militarily invade Siberia) would end up serving the rightist vision of different groups of "non-whites" fighting for domination over already "non-white" territory while never thinking about taking (or even merely taking back) territory from "whites".

The reunification scenario I prefer would be after Xi is replaced by an anti-"New China" successor who openly acknowledges Taiwan's cultural superiority compared to the mainland. But so long as no such successor appears, keeping the status-quo is preferable. I would even immediately switch to supporting Taiwan independence on the condition that Taiwan ditches democracy. Many people seem to forget that Taiwan hasn't been democratic for very long at all:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan#History

Quote
with democratically elected presidents beginning in 1996

prior to which the ROC was every bit as autocratic as the PRC was:

Quote
the ROC government was regarded by Western critics as undemocratic for upholding martial law

yet was one of the best Counterculture contributors (song repost, the one in the other topic appears to have been deleted):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AqxQniiTPc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSJCOwDQiGk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eadGlKJCmg4

in contrast to the PRC's zero Counterculture contribution. Democracy is not what makes Taiwan superior (contrary to what False Leftists believe). Less Turanian blood is what makes Taiwan superior. This is how we need to view the Taiwan issue.

Meanwhile Putin himself publicly supports Xi's stance towards Taiwan. Can you figure out what is really going on?

If instead of obsessing over Taiwan, China and Japan both first focused on taking back the territory Russia stole from both, they could have found themselves on the same side, as each would have to support the other also taking back its respective territory (if only as a way to reinforce the illegitimacy of Russia's land grabs in general). This is not just my recommendation, but Lai's also:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/diplomatic-decolonization/msg27855/#msg27855

Unfortunately, Eurocentrist Xi and Eurocentrist Takaichi prefer to compete over who can be more Eurocentrist than the other. Xi's Eurocentrism has been extensively covered. What about Takaichi's?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanae_Takaichi#Foreign_policy

Quote
Takaichi met with Trump on 28 October 2025 at the Akasaka Palace. The two leaders signed agreements on trade, minerals, nuclear technology and rare earths. Takaichi also expressed her intent to strengthen the US–Japan alliance. After their meeting, Takaichi gave Trump a putter formerly owned by former prime minister Shinzo Abe, a golf ball signed by Japanese professional golfer Hideki Matsuyama, and a gold-leaf golf ball.[89][90] During their visit at the US Yokosuka Naval Base, aboard the USS George Washington (CVN-73), Takaichi vowed to bring the US–Japan alliance into a "golden age", amid a "severe security environment".[91][92][93] According to Trump's press secretary, she also told Trump privately she would recommend him for the Nobel Peace Prize.[94]

Why China is furious: Japan's new PM sparks Taiwan Strait crisis
Quote
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has pushed China-Japan relations to the brink, just three weeks into her tenure. At a National Diet meeting last week, she claimed that a "use of force on Taiwan" by the Chinese mainland could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan, hinting at possible armed intervention in the Taiwan Strait. Beijing responded with stern diplomatic protests, live-fire drills at sea and an unprecedented wave of countermeasures. Why did China react so strongly? Is Japan seeking to revisit its militaristic past? What does this mean for the Taiwan Strait and Asia-Pacific security? Tune in!
