China ‘not’ a partner ‘whose word you can take’Former Labor Senator Stephen Conroy says China has spent years 'trying to pretend' it could peacefully convince Taiwan to rejoin the People's Republic, but the Taiwanese have watched what China does to its 'own citizens' . 'China are proving to be not a partner whose word you can take,' Mr Conroy told Sky News Australia. 'So if you’re sitting in Taiwan going, ‘look, we could do this, we could consider reintegrating into China’, you go, ‘but we know what they’re going to do'. 'The Ambassador yesterday said there’ll be re-education for the Taiwanese people, I mean, that would fill you with horror.'

Taiwan is a vibrant democracy. PRC is a one party state with an authoritarian leader and government institutions controlled by the state. I’ve never met a Chinese person that felt trustworthy, and I’ve met quite a few!
