meanwhile, China’s diplomacy is consistently defensive and willing to back down, like they accept that peaceful resolution is what’s best for humans and not worth sacrificing for something so ephemeral as nationalist mythmaking.
i get the impression that whatever dumbass country leadership is the first one to really pull their chain and provoke a serious reaction is going to be made an example of, and i just hope im not in the area.
Is it possible that this was released without government sign-off? I know about them generally taking a seat on the board but not every ad is shown to the board prior to release, right?
you got me. it says its a private company’s marketing material, and i would assume it would land them in hot water as being to provocative or something, but shy of some.government official admitting they OK’d it, i dunno if we can really know.
Which stance? Is it the One China Policy that the entirety of the world ratifies, including the US and Taiwan itself?
I don’t concern myself with politicians talking out of their neck, before you pull on that thread. I’m talking official policy. Ask yourself why nobody will claim the opposite of what China says officially and then talk about reality.

On the other hand, this could be saber rattling with plausible deniability
It has nothing to do with the government
Chinese diplomacy presents itself as a manhua protagonist. It will never attack first but will destroy you without mercy if you dare be aggressive.
