So is this how it starts? China pushes until Taiwan defends itself, the China blames Taiwan for aggression?

It's the kid on the bus who keeps shoving the quiet kid over and over and over, but it's not big and flashy so nobody notices. Nobody listens. Nobody cares.

Then the quiet kid punches the bully in his goddamn rat face and suddenly the quiet kid is the problem child.

The problem existed long before the quiet kid fought back, and they knew, it was just ignored by the people who could do something about it until it was too late.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
