Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen laid a wreath and bowed her head in respect at a memorial park on Kinmen island, which sits a few kilometres off the Chinese metropolis of Xiamen, to mark the 62nd anniversary of the start of the second Taiwan Straits crisis. Brent Christensen, head of the American Institute in Taiwan and Washington’s de facto representative, offered his respects too, standing behind Tsai, in a symbolic show of U.S. support for the island.

Major General Liu Qiang-hua, spokesman for the Kinmen garrison, said it was important to remember an event that was so crucial to ensuring Taiwan’s security.

Fuck the CCP

if the war burst, it's the time to solve Taiwan problem eventually. but that's cruel and greif to the citizens

台湾人真是争气,在回来前也要秀一下自己人傻钱多的傻样。中国真要狠心治你,台湾怕是一架飞机都飞不出去吧。美国人也不会傻到为一个台湾和中国开战,毕竟台湾除了诈骗,媚日,也没有特别好的资源。

Taiwan and China would come to an arrangement in good time if the world just left it alone. Instead of allowing a long term strategy to evolve, the US insists on stirring things from narrow self interest. It will encourage suffering to meet its end. That is history's record.

Want to start a war?

CH will take taiwan. Its fukien soldiers are ready. Most countries will ignore it because of CH domestic matter. No stupid would die for Chinese. Don't do nuke on CH because the world might be abrupt. CH might be able to hurl a fireball that could burn most canada into ashes.

Trump told Tedros in his letter You did not mention that China had silenced or punished several doctors for speaking out about the virus and restricted Chinese .... He had written in a four-page letter to WHO Tedros Here’s what he wrote in that letter:

Which war!!!

똥통에 빠진 민족---둔하냐 미련하냐 야바위냐 시기하냐 도둑이냐 사기꾼이냐---사람으로 싫어하는 나쁜짓거리는 골라하는듯 ---

Actually Taiwan is part of China, even more than Hawaii is to America. Game Xi. China plays the long game, but Trump is weak as noted by Putin’s complete control of him. Beware if Trump steals the election.

Trump is TRYING to start a war!
