"What a wonderful idea! How sweet and sound! No more war, just peace!"
Imagine King George III saying in 1777, "All I want is the peaceful reunification of England and its American colonies." Or Saddam Hussein, "I just want the peaceful reunification of Iraq and Kuwait." How about Mahmoud Abbas saying, "I am pushing for the peaceful reunification between the Israeli squatters and the Palestinians who own the land of Palestine, not the Jews."
China wants to re-enslave the people of Taiwan who successfully broke away from the mainline communist nation of China, forming the independent Republic of Taiwan (Republic of China- Taiwan) after WW2. China wants Taiwan like ISIS wanted Afghanistan and leftists around the world think Taiwan should give up its freedom and allow the communists to come in and take over, which is stupid. Rational Americans oppose China's aggression, but many American leftists and democrats do not oppose turning Taiwan over to its communist enemies.
Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed on Saturday to achieve "peaceful reunification" with Taiwan, and did not directly mention the use of force after a week of tensions with the Chinese-claimed island that sparked international concern.

BEIJING, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed on Saturday to achieve "peaceful reunification" with Taiwan, and did not directly mention the use of force after a week of tensions with the Chinese-claimed island that sparked international concern.
Taiwan responded to Xi by calling on Beijing to abandon its coercion, reiterating that only Taiwan's people could decide their future.
