Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Like seriously, all these "CHINA IS ABOUT TO INVADE TAIWAN!!!1!" articles actually come across as, "We really really hope China invades Taiwan because it would be convenient for our continuing military-industrial buildup and also our ongoing propaganda campaign." Even if China had anything to gain from invading (I don't see any actual benefit to it, but I'm also a dumbass so whatever), surely all the fervor the anglophonic world has at the idea would be enough to dissuade them.
understatement of the century
That's a significant amount of consolidation and yet I've never heard this statistic before. Lol.
please tell me more about these A.I.-generated bio threats, they sound super duper real
I mean, they're blaming Russia and China. Anyone with half a brain can see they're just manufacturing consent for Cold War 2.0. Against the same goddamn countries as the first bloody Cold War. No creativity, these Washington warmongers. Unfortunately, a lot of people who lived through the Cold War bought it then, learned nothing in the decades after hostilities officially ceased, and will buy it again.
overall conclusion:
it'll be fun when Taiwan votes for unification and then America says WAY NOT LIKE THAT
China needs Taiwan to enforce its claim on the south China sea. But i don't think they're going to need a military annexation, my bet is in a political re integration, where Taiwan keeps some of their independence.
Unless I'm mistaken, that's effectively already where they're at with Taiwan. A Taiwanese passport, drivers license and such are all valid and accepted in mainland China.
I think that user means more like the PRC making it into a Special Administrative Region or something (which I am pretty sure the PRC says is its goal too).
Single country, two systems, but with possibly even more autonomy as Taiwan is much bigger territory than Macau and Hong Kong. It's not bad and most realistic solution and Taiwanese are seeing how it work quite well in other places and how PRC is serious and consistent about it.
