    To be honest I’ve been waiting for someone to try to call me out on this. Here’s my passport

        You know, I’m confused what people are disagreeing with. I’ve only stated facts.

        Sudan and Myanmar are completely under China’s sphere of influence. They are both in the middle of a civil war. China has done nothing and supplied both sides.

        Taiwan has consistently stated they want the status quo. Congress is heavily in favor of that. So much so they made a law to handcuff the president from declaring.

        China has repeatedly stated they believe Taiwan will aquiesce peacefully and will only invade if Taiwan unilaterally declares independence.

        Thus, in a situation where China is the sole hegemony, China knows they are right about Taiwan and will simply wait out Taiwan. If the world is under Chinese sphere of influence we’ll see a massive uptick in civil wars.

          It really doesn’t help that China has been a hot topic, for decades. You can say nothing but the simple truth and someone will call it propaganda or say you’re a paid shill, for saying something consistently known as truth.

            Well the weirdest thing to me is I am saying China becoming the world’s super power will lead to genocide. Not caused by China itself, but by China’s inactions. And my proof is historical from Sudan and Myanmar. Yet people are calling me a pro-China shill? It’s odd at best.
