Ok I should probably explain it a little bit more, the CCP came out of a brutal Civil War between a lot of Warlords and Taiwan. It was essentially a Battle Royale for control. The reason why I predict Taiwan will come out on top is due to the fact that with Taiwan’s Military strength they could retake the homeland. Especially against a totally disorganized China. Also China won’t be as peaceful as the dissolution of the USSR think the fall of Yugoslavia it will be a lot more like that.
TL:DR China has a tendency to explode into a bunch of waring factions.
Edit: I don’t know a lot about Asian History but I will try to answer any other questions you may have to my best ability.
Retreat, comrades! The China understander has logged on!
“It was essentially a battle royale for control” :agony-shivering:
Also, when he refers to Taiwan’s “sheer military strength,” he’s actually talking about the US.
When you’ve only read the opening lines to “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” and now think you are an expert on China.
Ackshyally, I’ve played hoi4 and I browse r/historymemes, I think I know a thing or two

:mao-wtf: :wtf-am-i-reading:
In their current state, Taiwan’s military won’t even be able to defend against a PLA invasion lmao. A lot of their military is made up of conscripts who don’t even want to be there, and who only have to serve for a few months, barely long enough to even know how to function as soldiers, let alone be effective at actually fighting.
Taiwanese people don’t even want the fucking mainland lmfao. I live here, absolutely no one I’ve talked to wants anything to do with that
oversensitive
I get a feeling there’s a bit of projection going on here
They literally think Winnie the Pooh is banned even though he’s probably one of the most popular cartoon characters over there.
Also how the fuck is that even an insult? Pooh is like one of the most humble cartoon characters.
It was a photo of Obama and Xi walking together, and a Weibo user posted a graphic of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger directly next to it. It was a hilarious match, with lanky Obama and rotund Xi. See for yourself: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DE680g_XsAAaplZ.jpg
It’s lese-majeste, the crime of mocking the ruler. Everyone who forwarded it was suspended or banned.
AFAIK, it started as overzealous Chinese internet censors taking down posts/memes made by Chinese netizens comparing Xi to Pooh. Western media eventually picked up the story and then due to sinophobia, propaganda and a bit of misunderstanding, redditors wound up turning the story into the Chinese government banning Pooh because Xi was personally offended or something like that.
No he gets sooooo mad when I post Xinnie the Poo and get a thousand up votes
Only a thousand? See-pee-pee bots must be out in Chinese numbers of downvoters to SILENCE US
It’s like half ironic but still “le winnie the pooh bad”
They still think they’re doing something
Hell yeah Reddit, you can take down the highest GDP nation in the world by meming. They solved the Boston Marathon bombing they can do anything
When the bombing happened Reddit took it upon themselves to catch the bomber. Thousands of Reddit’s finest banded together and IIRC doxed an innocent bystand and contributed absolutely nothing of value to the actual investigation
Well they called Isis “Daesh”, which singlehandedly defeated them
