A Tiawan without the constant fear of being steam rolled by communist china. Tiawan with the industrial economic and military power of communist china, a Taiwan with the largest emerging market in the world. Imagine A world without a dictatorial military expansionist Communist China looking to dominate The South China sea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_disputes_in_the_So...

Or taking over their smaller neighbors like, Tibet, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Tibet_by_the_Peo...

Or crushing political descent in Hong Kong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_misconduct_allegations_...

A China not trying to push their boarder with India, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Indian_border_dispute#Bou...

or indulging and supporting the sociopathic regime in North Korea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93North_Korea_rela...

A China that that doesn't disappear a religious leader of one of the worlds largest religions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11th_Panchen_Lama_controversy

and force the another to live in exile and demand that said religions leader reincarnation be aproved by the Chinese communist party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Dalai_Lama#Exile_to_India https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_of_the_14th_Dalai_L...

Or participating in a mass genocide of their people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide

Imagine a china the wasn't evil but tolerated because corperations can there outsource for cheaper manufacturing

Taiwan democracy started in 1990. Before that it is in martial law dictatorships. The govt ruled with terror. You can search "white terror". The govt used to suppressed the information too.
