There have already been riots here and there. It's only going to get worse as China keeps pushing countries into bonded slavery with their false promise of riches while they plunder them while building white elephants everywhere to boost perceived GDP leaving the locals with useless or unmaintainable structures.

fishmech posted:You're neglecting that France also has the ability to use a bunch of NATO ally bases, beyond just the bases they outright own. China will never understand this. They don't have allies, they see only potential subjects. Their diplomacy reflects this as they never go into an agreement in good faith whether if it is with another state or with themselves. They claim superiority when there is none, claim history that is not theirs, outright lie, dishonour treatise and break laws in foreign countries in state sponsored kidnappings. Having allies makes you far stronger than you are individually. Even though Taiwan doesn't have "Official" ties they have allies makes them stronger than China without having to directly match military force which is an impossible proposition.

stone cold posted:I'm not talking about the US, though, like, I'm talking about the precious few states that recognize Taiwanese sovereignty. Like, it's down now to what....19? 19 is right according to the wiki. All the important states have an informal recognition which is 58 which is about a quarter. It doesn't matter too much if Taiwan never gets the full recognition as they are a country and no amount of cock blocking is going to change that. Everyone treats them as a state with treatise and what are effectively embassies via "trade offices". There are edge cases like the alleged con men extradited to the Mainland from Africa. Sucks about not getting into the UN and Chinese always having a cry whenever Taiwan shows up for like anything. In the end it's China being China with it's Face BS and just all round bad behaviour.
