Thoughts?
Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

Well Russia was allowed to try imperialism, China can’t resist being upstaged.
So was America with Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Not to mention the 800 military bases in over 80 countries.
Yeah, and it was a shit deal for the U.S. colonies, particularly still Puerto Rico which is governed without representation in the government.
It was shit when we did it, it was shit when the European powers did it, and it will be shit if China does it to Taiwan.
“No taxation without representation*”
*Only applies to the USA, not to its
colonies“territories”DC is also in the USA and is taxed without representation. But Puerto Rico is even worse consigned to second-class citizenship due to the Jones Act.
