There was recently a "scholar" who said that sacrificing 10% of the population for the war to unify Taiwan is nothing in the grand scheme of things, and with a bit of education, all the younger generation would agree to fight. News report

You can imagine how well this went behind the Great Firewall lol.

Keep in mind that China has no freedom of speech. You cannot criticize the government nor say anything that would put them in a bad light if it goes public to the west. That's why the #GreatTranslationMovement was so successful when it first started. So with a person this high profile being able to speak his mind freely, means he likely has some kind of backing by the government, which means they support his stance.

Wow what a wild take. I wonder if that guy took into account the additional losses from potential Indian or Vietnamese advances. Probably others that would like to take some "disputed" land back.
