There's no fucking way I can support this. China does not need to grow larger, and even more people being subject to the PRC's inherently tyrannical rule is not a good thing.

The "One China Policy" has been in place for how many presidents?
The issue has always been mainland China trying to take / assimilate
Taiwan by force, which the U.S. has always warned against. I don't
see this policy being changed.
I'm calling B.S. on the nyslimes.
