Quote In Beijing mentality, Taiwan is part of China. In Beijing the people of tiawan are chinese, and all chinese people's should be under one gov't. This is the 'one china' policy. That's not quite the same thing. Quote In Quebec mentality, Anticosti is part of Quebec - like the Iles de la Madeleine. Quebecers are mental period Quote If I were America, I would do a deal. If you were america china would have already invaded and you'd still be trying to figure out how to give your generals clear instructions in english ===== Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

SpankyMcFarland Posted November 30, 2025 Report Posted November 30, 2025 (edited) The situation with Taiwan is worrying. America has never faced a challenge like China poses and Trump should be more focused on this. One of the few topics he really watches what he says is the Taiwan situation which doesn't inspire confidence. I hope the rare earth scare hasn’t convinced him to be too co-operative with Xi on Taiwan. We all need that country and its advanced computer chips. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/30/china-donald-trump-xi-jinping-taiwan-trade Edited November 30, 2025 by SpankyMcFarland Quote ‘How small we make our worlds.

The Guardian I strongly disagree. === Truman/Kennedy/Reagan/Thatcher fought these socialists, on a world scale. They won. ---- Taiwan, like Hong Kong, is part of China. 1 Quote
