    The Chinese State is heavily invested in Taiwan, it’s clearly not just an independent country.

    China will only invade if the West keeps arming them, because China won’t tolerate an arms buildup in Taiwan. That’s a perfectly reasonable stance. Imagine China started shipping billions of dollars of weapons to Puerto Rico lol

    Ah yes, calling a Chinese man a yellow animal. Definitely not racist.

        You are not a Chinese dissident. It’s definitely been magnified in the West because Winnie the Poo is a fat yellow animal.

        Also, your article is paywalled, but it sounds to me like investment was heavy and now its being cracked down on. Why do you think that is???

          Pooh Bear is a single man. It’s not racism when your insult only applies to a single dictator. Tankies love to scream racism at calling Xi Pooh Bear, but are really just mad that we all make fun of their favorite dictator.

          As to Chinese investment in Taiwan. Since you can’t read the article, just know that Taiwan bans investment from any company connected to the Chinese government, and has tightened those rules to include international subsidiaries.

          Other sources I’ve seen have put the grand total of allowed investments in Taiwan from China at less than $6 billion US. In other words, a rounding error to their GDP.

      The USA is heavily invested in China - does that make China a province of the USA? Does IMF investment in Africa/Asia mean that the West is morally justified in invading them whenever they decide to buy weapons off Russia?
