To be honest, my personal read of the situation is that the good guys might be trying to bait Xi into invading Taiwan. That could be the catalyst in causing the current regime's collapse and allowing the country to turn a new leaf. To add to this, the deals that China has made with Russia recently are economically quite unfavorable for China. If war breaks out, that additional burden would only help the situation.
Also rather than saying people in Taiwan dislike people in China, it may be more accurate to say that people in Taiwan dislike the regime of the mainland. I've met many Taiwanese IRL and on the internet and I couldn't say that they disliked people from China as a rule, just possibly those that are brainwashed.
It's frusterating to see the constant Pro-Xi sentiments here from people who obviously have no clue on what kind of person Xi is and the general ideology of Chinese people.
No, I mean the Chinese people who are brainwashed into hating Taiwan or wanting to invade it, hahaha. But people like that generally create enmity wherever they go, and are brainwashed in hating America as well.
Notwithstanding any modern-day geopolitical views / conflicts, the bonds of Sinoese culture are actually quite strong. I'm not sure where your perspective on the views of Taiwanese people comes from but I know quite a few; one used to be my landlord, another my hairdresser, and I used to work for one as well. I haven't sensed any ill-will toward any mainlanders in their interactions with them, nor do I see any widespread examples of such on the internet.
The Chinese annexed Taiwan in 1684 but made no serious attempt to govern it until the 1870s. When Commodore Perry asked the Qing Emperor in 1854 who controlled Taiwan the Emperor told him it was full of barbarians and that nobody controlled the island.
When the first Sino-Japanese war ended in 1895 the Chinese easily ceded Taiwan to Japan while fiercely defending against Japans territorial demands in Manchuria. Japanese control of the island continued until 1945 and from then until Chiang Kai-shek arrived in 1949, the US Marines controlled Taiwan.
Even today, many Taiwanese identify with Japan more than China.

That's a China/Taiwan theory I can entertain.

Well next time you have tea with xi, since you know him so well, why don't you just ask him?
So your criteria for understanding what a piece of shit someone is to be personally aquainted with said person?
I don't think that leaves a lot of people to judge Klaus Schwab man.
No, my point is criticizing someone for not knowing XI or what he is about goes both ways.
To explain further, you know nothing more of XI than anyone else. And anything you know is based off info available to everyone.
Get it now?
