       There seems to be a G2 agreement to let China take Taiwan. This
       also lines up with multipolarity, where the U.S is allowing
       Russia to take Ukraine.

       Exactly. As several videos above have speculated, Xi believes a
       post-Trump US will revert to its old position of opposing Taiwan
       invasion, therefore believes that the best timing for a Taiwan
       invasion is while Trump is still in office. Thus the worse
       things get for Trump short of removal from office, the more
       danger Taiwan is in.
       At this point, the best way to ensure there is no invasion of
       Taiwan is for Zhang supporters in the PLA to overthrow Xi ASAP.
       Of course Xi is aware of this:

       As per the rightist plan, more "non Whites" will stand to suffer
       if China invades Taiwan.

       I can't stand Lei's music, but the news updates are too
       important to not post:

       This is what I have always said.

       [quote]Sino-Japanese relations improved significantly.[75] Deng
       used Japan as an example of a rapidly progressing power that set
       a good example for China
       ...
       Deng initially continued to adhere to the Maoist line of the
       Sino–Soviet split era that the Soviet Union was a superpower as
       "hegemonic" as the United States, but even more threatening to
       China because of its close proximity.[78]
       ...
       "Deng's developmental diplomacy helped create a favorable
       external environment for China's rise in the twenty-first
       century. His hand-picked successors, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao,
       faithfully followed his course."[81]
       ...
       Deng's theory of one country, two systems applied to Hong Kong
       and Macau and Deng intended to also present it as an attractive
       option to the people of Taiwan for eventual incorporation of
       that island[/quote]
       all of which is the exact opposite of Xi (who presents
       reunification not as optional but as something that will happen
       whether Taiwan wants it or not). To say nothing of:

       time, China's new paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, together with
       other senior leaders, including elder Chen Yun, Premier Zhao
       Ziyang, and President Li Xiannian, began to promote the
       so-called one-child policy

       Prepare to be criticized by others for cutting off the

       Leaders after Deng, mostly the administrations of Jiang Zemin
       and Hu Jintao, continued promoting and imposing the one-child
       policy in most areas of mainland China.[5][17][/quote]

       [quote]On 29 October 2015, it was reported that the existing law
       would be changed to a two-child policy
       ...
       When the Chinese Communist Party decided to relax this policy
       and allow two children per a household, it made their carbon
       neutrality goal significantly harder to reach by 2060.[48]

       Guidance was issued on June 21, 2021, proposing implementation
       including promoting the "three-child policy"

       Xi Jinping has promoted pro-natalist policies and encouraged
       women to "actively foster a new type of marriage and

       Woke comments:
       [quote]The people wanting to give Xi 3 months are stupid,
       insane, or working for Xi. Zhang & Liu underestimated Xi & have
       paid the price.  Xi won’t be waiting around 3 months. He will be
       making deals w bribes or threats & his opponents will be
       arrested or dead long before the end of 3 months.[/quote]
       [quote]3 MONTHS??? Should have demanded 24 hours![/quote]
