"I suggest using the same method to reclaim Taiwan in the future."
By Tyler Durden: A fascinating new report by Bloomberg on Sunday has observed a huge uptick in Chinese social media users weighing in on the decades-long Taiwan independence crisis, in relation to President Trump's weekend overthrow of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
"Trump's operation against the Venezuelan strongman shot to the top of China’s Weibo late Saturday, with the topic gaining some 440 million views on the X-like platform," Bloomberg reports. "Many commentators were quick to make comparisons between the fate of the South American nation and that of the self-ruled democracy Beijing has vowed to claim."
Like the long building military showdown between the United States and Venezuela, Taiwan has been a flashpoint in mainland China's shadow. It is 'small' in comparison with China's population and military might. But the situation is an inversion, with Washington having long armed Taiwan to the teeth.
