>>46224 >They have also seen what happened in Hong Kong What happened to Hong Kong is that anti-China forces that colluded with foreign entities causing local unrest beyond what Beijing was willing to tolerate (trying to escalate into a colour revolution even after the local govt tried to acquiesce to their demands wrt the extradition law that supposedly started it all) got rebuffed by the implementation of a national security law. Notice that Beijing could have done this at any time it wanted since HK returned to the motherland from British colonial rule. Yet it was the anti-china agitation and collusion with anti-china foreign entities that provoked such countermeasures
If politicians in charge of Taipei were smart, they would develop Taipei's leverage being careful to remain a safe distance away from crossing China's red lines, so that if/when in the future re-unification looms, they can negotiate with Beijing the continuation of their political autonomy (2nd system) while sharing security/military control with the mainland
If they are dumb, they will accelerate straight into the wall in front of them and predictably get smashed, to the benefit of no other than the well known invaders of old
(Replying to the rest is a waste of time)
>>46222 >Ukraine that is nothing for them. Maybe worse than nothing: it is a tool
