Peace that is obtained without fairness and satisfaction is of no value and never lasting. In this case, the only way to build the foundation of fairness and satisfaction that a lasting peace may finally be erected upon is for the land thieves to return the land to the rightful owners, barren, or all included.

If you ever wondered why Taiwan doesn't want being part of Mainland China.

Is there one on naval training?
Here's several.

Includes both surface warships and the Hai-Shih. Filmed back in 2015.

Includes both surface warships and the Hai-Shih. Almost the same as first video but with different edit.

I don't wonder. The only thing that matters is that what needs to be done is done to bring back what belongs to China. The Taiwanese started out bitter over losing the civil war then fell down a rabbit hole forgetting who they are. Chinese power will remind them.
And how they care. It‘s like one of those topics for the CCP to bring people in line again.
The CCP bring people in line by telling them to focus on the goal and interest of all Chinese people? That's good; no Chinese should ever be out of that line.
The polls are speaking a clear language.
Not really. Depends on who conducted those polls, how they were conducted and whether they were designed to tout a line. Polls that show the vast majority in Taiwan refuse to fight speak more clearly on what they really want because we all want everything when it's all free but when the price tags are shown, suddenly, desires become far more conservative. And as we all know, that real world desire, while looking at the price tags is the only thing that has any meaning at all. But in any case, the only poll that really matters is the one on how all Chinese people feel about Taiwan.

1. Polls mean jack shit. Every's gansta till its time to lock and load.

2. People have the memory of a gold fish. With enough incentives, all sentiments can be molded in short order.

Semi-official ROC Army friend/foe armored vehicle identification chart to help army personnel with their memorization test.

So just like any military out there it is mandatory for ROC Army personnel to be able to identify friendly and enemy armored vehicles. Army personnel are tested with their abilities to do so during routine tests. Such tests are important for volunteer personnel because not only do those tests affect their chance of rising in the ranks, they can affect their vacation time and pay as well.

One thing interesting about the chart is how outdated it is for a chart that only came out in 2013. Although it is in Chinese I think it's still a very interesting read. There are also some PLA vehicles I've never seen before and I wonder whether they've even entered service with the PLA or not (such as the Thunder-1 APC, WZ-507 APC, NVH-1 AFV and the NFV-1 AFV).
