    This is just fear mongering. Taiwan is safe because of years of good economic decisions. They have semiconductor factories. That’s why it’s valuable. You can’t get what makes Taiwan valuable by going to war with them.

    Also, most countries don’t formally recognize Taiwan. How does Taiwan have airspace if you don’t recognize it?

    A little internet disclaimer: I’m not pro China. I disagree with nation states as a concept, but let’s try and think about what’s actually happening here.

      If a group of people inside another group of people want to be their own group of people than the new group should be able to split off from the old one without issue.

      So (imo) if Taiwan wants to go alone, China has no choice. Taiwan, of course, would find new problems with trade and travel to China, and would be on their own financially and defensively. If that’s something they are confident they can handle, then they should be allowed to.
