        According to Taiwan’s authorities, a Chinese speedboat carrying four people entered Taiwan-controlled waters off Kinmen near Beiding Islet, a military outpost just east of the main island. A Taiwanese Coast Guard Administration (CGA) boat gave chase and initiated a pursuit. As the Chinese boat made to flee, it capsized. All four occupants were rescued from the water and evacuated to Kinmen Hospital, but two did not survive.

        What were they thinking

      China and Taiwan is a domestic issue stemming from civil war, which you’d know if you ever picked up a history book. There’s a reason Taiwan’s current territorial claims are larger than the entirety of mainland China’s (China signed some treaty with Vietnam, which Taiwan does not recognize).

      Taiwan is a conflict between china and Taiwan, so not clearly a foreign affair in my opinion. But I think also, that Taiwan is it’s own state and China should stop harassing Taiwan.

        It’s becoming a sort of proxy conflict between China and the US, with the US openly arming Taiwan and posing a national security risk to the mainland.

        One of the biggest mistakes the CPC has made imo is not properly getting rid of the old fascist party, and letting them flee to, and take over, Taiwan, killing its native population and leftists in the White Terror.

          It wasn’t a mistake though, they did tried. Fleeing ROC remnants were supplied by USA with naval force overwhelmingly stronger than what PLA could muster back then and the attempt to finish the war was thwarted. After that Taiwan became one of the US puppets so the status quo is kept even to this day.

            Mistake is the wrong word ig. More accurate to say it was one of its most costly failures.
