It is in the culture of chinese to unify everything under its culture. It is a culture empire by nature. Before accepting the reality, Taiwan claim the whole china and in fact sort of still do they sort of still do to southern china sea.

There is nothing in chinese culture allow difference. Harmony is all under one rule only. No federalism. International approach to culture ... we will not see but one day if it is it will try to take on all culture barbarians. There is nothing but to keep all non-barbarian within the Great Wall. Even if it is e-Great Wall.

Globally one might say we should consider a model for one extra powerful (strong or big country as chinese woukdvput it) group. One may say just like America, Eu, Russia, Arabs ... that might be just worry of japan, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, ... past culture colony of china should be worry.

but given its one belt one road and the china of china taken of Africa, I am afraid it is much worst.

We are not talking about a country that respect humanity basic rights. Check out the 7 we do not talk about you know what is in store for the world or at least within.

Good luck to us. Hope it all fail. But prepare for the worst.

Not sure how strong support of us on Taiwan (and HONG kong) even though both has an American act to sort of protect their different level of independence. Good luck.

Maybe you can check this observation of mine but it appears that ethnically Chinese (Han) people seem to often equate criticisms on Mainland China poitics as being synonymous with attacks of ethnic Chinese people. It is very normal to see criticisms of China met with objections from Chinese people who are Singaporean or from the EU.

It also seems to me that Taiwan and Hong Kong are sitting at a place where they feel they are ethnically/culturally connected but don't want the political aspects of being a part of the mainland. On the other hand, people from the mainland (or connected to the mainland) seem to view those as the same things.
