The difference is China doesn’t give a fuck about its aging population. Once it gets it’s hands on Taiwan, the US isn’t the defacto world power any more.
Unless china can peacefully occupy Taiwan, that won’t be the result.
The result will be that TSMC et al will blow up the fabs. At which point basically the entire world is screwed and china is not any better off relative to where they started.
Reunification can only happen after China gains the ability to chose its own leaders. Otherwise the Chinese leaders can never be trusted. When the reunification happens, I think that Taipei should be the capital of China for the first 10 years or so since that is where the experience in democracy is located.
No, it would have to be Beijing, or at least Nanjing. The name “Beijing” literally means “northern capital”. Nanjing means “southern capital”. Other cities do not have the cultural cache to be the capital of China. It would be like France having a capital other than Paris.
So rename them to whatever “Donkey’s Ass” is in Chinese rofl
What the hell kind of nutso idea is that? “No, it has to be the capital because that’s the name”
Do you know what the capital of New York is? It’s not NYC. It’s Albany. Just because a city has “cachet” doesn’t mean it should be the seat of government.
I’m saying that Beijing has legitimacy in the eyes of the people of China, and has had that legitimacy for at least 1700 years. Forget Albany. You have to look at this from the point of view of a country that thinks it’s thousands of years old (rightly or wrongly). The capital of Italy is Rome, and it will always be Rome.

All you people from old countries should learn something from Americans: stop being shackled by your past.
Just like the Russian pipeline got blown up, those fab labs will be smouldering dust. https://youtu.be/OS4O8rGRLf8?t=91
Breaking news: Man with lifetime stutter, stutters.
And coming up at 11: Water is wet, criminal found guilty, baby cries.
No, the US is the defacto world power because the US Dollar is the default reserve currency.
