Why would China invade itself?

Fuck off

Taiwan is independent and will always stay that way

So the southern US is its own independent country right? The losing side of civil wars gets to keep "their" land? (Actually this is being too charitable to Taiwan, they actually invaded land and called it theirs)

The KMT and CPC are both from China. The vast vast majority of Taiwanese are not KMT from China nor any of their descendants.

Unless you suggest that KMT is a nationality or ethnicity, 95-97% of Taiwan population is Han Chinese (mostly Hoklo and Hakka), and barely 2% are indigenous.

Wait let me quickly turn to the left and ask my taiwanese coworker

She says your full of shit and should go back to licking boots in silence

I mean yes, nationalists will be nationalists. I can also find a ton of confederates in the south of the US, flying the flag and everything. Here's hoping she doesn't have the same views on ethnicity as most nationalists do 😬
