Only american politicians think of a potential war, they need it to save their currency

In Asia, people are more optimistic, they view it as a merger

Asia is not just South Korea and Japan, it is many countries, most of them have good relationship with China

People who think it as merge are undoubtedly mostly Chinese.

> most of them have good relationship with China

I can enumerate more than half of the neighbours of China who has territorial disputes with it.

Besides South Korea and Japan, do India, Vietnam, Bhutan, and Philippines have good relationships with China? They all have significant disputes over fundamental territorial issues.

oh yeah, that's why china is doing war games around Taiwan in which it simulated attacks with bombers and boarding ships right now. Very peaceful and optimistic indeed. And somehow americans are the ones warmongering.

Brother, China only just moving ships

The US literally is arming Israel to commit a genocide in Gaza

If you want to play the super hero, start by not being a coward

And they are doing the same with Taiwan, South Korea, Philippine and Japan

Blood on your hands, you choose!

China is not providing Russia with weapons like China is not providing the USA with illicit fentanyl. Which is to say, they definitely are, but have officially said they aren't.

I didn’t flag you. The link you posted was just to a huge document, so I didn’t bother commenting as it seemed more like noise that wasn’t worth a reply.

Invading countries usually refer to it as a happy merger

Stats or it didn't happen.

In contrast, look how China's neighbors in particular view it mostly-unfavorably. [0] Then consider that since those results China's reputation has gotten worse almost everywhere [1] during the next few years of Xi Jinping authoritarianism.
