They will be followers provided the authority can demonstrate they are worth being called that. Otherwise at least Chinese will just rise up and overthrow just like it has done many times.
Agree with what that wood working guy said, that what China is today, in terms of the manufacturing and the country, is America in the 1950's.
Expect, in my mind, China today is America in the early 1960's.
What is kind of interesting, most Americans probably do not really know what the 60's were like for their country.
That is why I sometimes post music videos from that era from America. That was how advanced they were culturally and economically by just looking at the numbers.
I feel theres a generational gap with this observation - the young mainland students & emigres certainly do not have a blind respect for authority, whereas emigres from poorer backgrounds that moved in the 70's and 80's (mostly cantonese / hong kong from my observations that ran restaurants, laundromats and other low value add industries) seem to have this kind of view.
There were always 2 circles in the ABC community - those whose parents were educated and in academia or commercial research (mostly mandarin speakers), and those whose parents came here a generation earlier and could only do low skill labor work (mostly cantonese speakers).
Every time one of these major conflicts or disasters happen you hear retards saying China is gonna invade Taiwan now.
At this point I wonder if that's even needed. The US rep is going down while China's clout is going up. Much like how Speed went to China, you have a lot of famous Taiwan bloggers doing it and coming back as wumaos. Most importantly people in Taiwan just don't have time for this shit anymore. Like why do they need to die in a fight with China? What are they fighting for? Lai has failed to give a proper answer since he himself is too busy focusing on killing his political rivals so how are people supposed to go along with it?
It is possible we could still get a one country two system to avoid the need for fighting. Outsiders don't seem to understand that Taiwan could surrender tomorrow and it's people will just go on with life since it's not like it's a significantly different country ruling. People just don't see a point dying for US benefits

Even if it is peaceful reunification by some strange miracle they need to enforce one country one system. We all see what happened to Hong Kong.

It's funny how Zelensky wears this army like attire to pretend he's one of the soldiers in the army when he never served. Meanwhile Netanyahu was in the special forces killing people and he just wears a suit.
No wonder Zelensky's attire is seen as insulting to some. Kind of get why Vance blurted out why isn't he wearing a suit. It was never actually about the suit but the soldier atttire. You can't dress up as a solider when you were never one. You should just be honest with your role behind the desk. I bet Netanyahu has the same thoughts which is why he and Zelensky don't seem to get along despite both being Jews.
