Oh.
I thought the Taiwanese only cared about gay anal rimjobs and were very happy to fight a war in the name of America to protect institutionalized anal licking (man-on-man)?
In reality, some of the most powerful people in the territory are committed to peaceful reunification?
Why did Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro lie to me about this?
Taiwan’s former president Ma Ying-jeou stood in front of the Sun Yat-sen mausoleum in Nanjing on Tuesday and called for people on both sides of the Taiwan strait to work together for peace, because, he said: “We are all Chinese.”
The 73-year-old is in China on a historic visit, the first by a current or former Taiwanese president since 1949. In the decades since, tensions have increased as Beijing vows to annex Taiwan under what it calls “reunification”. Taiwan’s government and people have become increasingly opposed to the prospect of Chinese rule, and few identify themselves as Chinese.
That is the most ridiculous sentence I’ve read in hours.
In fact, the pro-US/anal war party just lost hugely in an election, and it is not possible for Chinese people to not “identify as Chinese.” They are literally Chinese. Only Westerners are capable of drawing distinction between race and nationality – and Westerners only do that to support their multiculturalism lunacy.
But Ma, president from 2008 to 2016, believes he can help the peace process. “People on both sides of the Taiwan strait are Chinese people, and are both descendants of the Yan and Yellow emperors,” he said, using Chinese terms that referred to ethnicity, not nationality.
Haha.
“We sincerely hope the two sides will work together to pursue peace, avoid war, and strive to revitalise China … This is an unavoidable responsibility of Chinese people on both sides of the strait, and we must work hard.”
The symbolism of any Taiwanese leader visiting China is significant, and drew protesters to the airport in Taipei. Ma’s arrival has reportedly been given head-of-state-level security, and he was reportedly met on arrival by a deputy director of China’s Taiwan affairs office on Monday.
The visit also comes at the same time as a significant trip by the current president, Tsai Ing-wen, to the US and Central America this week.
In the run-up to Taiwan’s presidential election early next year, the visits have thrown up a host of questions about how the two sides of politics are dealing with China and with the US – the two most significant foreign factors in Taiwan’s future.
Ma remains closely tied to the Kuomintang (KMT) party and his visit has been criticised by Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive party (DPP), which accused him of “endorsing” Beijing’s Taiwan policy with his trip.
To counter, Ma and his camp have emphasised the visit’s stated focus on paying respects to his ancestors buried there, and on leading a delegation of students. They said he would not visit Beijing or meet the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, but they also touted his ability to repair relations, which they said had been ruined by Tsai’s foreign policy.
Most people on earth would naturally prefer peace to war, and we are going to really start seeing this all over as China takes a leading role in solving global problems.
Every war you see on earth is instigated by the Jews, using their American golem. There was no serious hostility between the Mainland and Taiwan a few years ago, and then the US went there and start sailing warships around everywhere and telling the Taiwanese that it would be really great if they had a war. They managed to install that ugly, childless woman as leader, and she pushed the war agenda hard.
Again, she lost recent elections, and she is not going to be leading the country much longer. The US is trying to start the war sooner rather than later, but they are bogged down with a debacle in the Ukraine that is using up all their resources. It’s not clear what the plan is at this point.
Meanwhile, China just solved a centuries-long conflict between Arabs and Persians, which the US has constantly argued was unsolvable.
The dichotomy between these two approaches – starting wars everywhere and suing for peace, and joint prosperity agreements – is staggering and it has never been more obvious. The US is now just openly saying “peace? I think not!”
US aggression is leading to the country becoming increasingly isolated, with most of the world now standing in opposition to its war agenda. At the same time, the US is facing very serious internal problems.
Something is gonna have to give.
