I just want to pull out this obvious incongruence/lie from your quote.

If China really intends to unify peacefully with Taiwan, why are they so concerned with Taiwan buying arms? If they truly want a peaceful unification, why would the arms sale hamper the process? The answer is that China wants to unify, be it peaceful or not. The only thing stopping it from it not being peaceful is the benefits of a forced take-over aren't big enough to overcome the detriments. It's a calculated decision.

ahoy Fishjoel, good to see you in here, me friend!

matey, i believe that somewhar down the road, China does indeed want Taiwan to merge its ships with thar fleet. of course, they'd also rather the whole process happen without bloodshed, that seems quite natural and reasonable 'o them.

Taiwan has recently been 'a makin' friendly overtures towards China, also...and i'd expect this arc to continue as them Chinese continue forward in bein' the world's other superpower, and lone economic king 'o the planet. the United States, meanwhile, shall continue its terrifyin' journey to bein' a country armed to the teeth, militarily, and a nation that lives in financial debt to China.

still, i think whats goin' on here be two fold.

a) taiwan can leverage its military strength to achieve a more favorable negotiation when the two nations join, and China probably isn't all that pleased about that.

b) china be also flexin' its newfound muscle, in realizin' that fer a number 'o reasons (chief 'o which is our own folly), they can now dictate policy to the United States. 'tis a shot across the bow, mate.

aye.
