Y'know, I do try to approach this from a reasonable, understanding perspective. I consider it a point of pride that I don't take sides.

You do take a side, the US, because you're working for them.

As a result, since I work in and for the US, I'm often construed as being pro-China or anti-USA by some of the more ideologically charged folks over here. I accept this, because I find that being able to empathize with and understand the position of the PRC is important when performing any relevant analytical work. It's a personal goal of mine to help more people learn enough about the PRC to genuinely respect it for all of its many accomplishments, and to recognize it for the equal superpower that it absolutely is. I believe that if this is accomplished, we will be able to craft much more sensible, mutually beneficial policy.

Replies like the one above, and getting DMs like this don't really do anything but make me question whether the respect is really deserved or not. I understand that you might be upset about this, but I'd encourage you to take a deep breath and calm down as opposed to random, senseless name calling.

The nature of this forum, of course, enables a bunch of very simple minded Chinese nationalistic minds. It's kinda interesting that this forum changed a lot in that regard.

To be honest, instead of acting like Jai Hinds - Yes, the very Jai Hinds that a number of people here are always mocking and jeering at - all just because Pelosi's plane safely landed in Taipei Songshan - I would suggest everyone to calm their tites down, and thread the situation logically and rationally.

Getting emotional would only grant the advantages and initiatives to your enemy. Remember how the term "Poker Face" came to be.

Also, did anyone here seriously think that the Chinese Civil War is over? NO, it hasn't. The People's Republic of China on the Chinese mainland and the Republic of China on the Taiwan island are merely on a de-facto unofficial ceasefire since the late 1970s.

This war ain't over yet. So please, take a deep breath everyone.

To the plane? Cheap shot; if China wanted to land a plane anywhere, the US wouldn't shoot first either. But there's plenty that China does every day nailing the coffin to American dominance and that's why we're here.

This is maybe even more painful than the last Taiwan Strait Crisis in the 90s because for China.

This is a sentence? Pain taught the Chinese that we must build ourselves a military that can win any war. Now that lesson is retaught. At the end, America will have itself to blame, because if it were not for its actions in Taiwan, China would never have risen this fast to depose of American hegemony. Economically, China has succeeded as the US was defeated in its trade war. Technologically, America is struggling even with all of its slave nations against a China that is only picking up steam. Militarily, the trend will follow. Economy before technology before military; unlike the Soviets, China has the US encircled in a comprehensive challenge. And all the US has left is to send an old hag to strut and piss people off.

Mao ruled China decades ago and united China into a country that would stand by itself and never be a stooge of the West. Your last (and next) president started a trade war he couldn't win, purposefully ignored a plague until it was too late, divided the US into race wars and political riots... and he also wants to kill all sharks...
