Expansionism can happen without official war declaration, but still a conflict. See: Tibet, Honk Kong, parts of Mongolia

Whoever is trying to capture territory from the other side is the invader by definition, putting the other side on the defence, as per definition.
Are you saying Estonia wants to invade Russia? Dude's clown costume's made from diamonds
You're seemingly blaming bad governance on the system being exploited by that government, and then saying the system should be eliminated, even tho elimination of the system would be costlier to everyone than trying to fix it/maintain it, and maybe a more logical choice would be to target the government, like it happened in many other parts of the world, including my country, where people generally have respect for police and police respect the people, no drama or unnecessary fights, lil bro.
Yeah, that's a thing to consider. It's funny how the world has changed. Europe used to be the baddies, now it's mostly Russia and China.
They so not agree on this, stop watching CCP propaganda. CCP is the only one pushing for this in the entire world with some allies like Russia simply backing it up. This is an imperialism move and you know it.
A divided China is a weaker China
This honestly feels like mental illness. Imagine rapist screaming at the victim "I can't get stronger unless we unite" while threatening to kill her.
Dude, get over it, Taiwan has moved on, they have their separate lives and don't want anything to do with China, just like Ukraine (who was part of Soviet union) does not want Russia and will likely result in a long and costly war. I too would go guerilla of someone tried to invade my country.
You're moving the blame from bad governance to the system itself being completely faulty/bad. Do you think poorly governed socialistic country would be more successful?
Exactly. Stereotyping fundamentally needed systems for a society to function into your typical hate train is as stupid as it can get. We, as a society, cannot safely function without law & order, even if the institute responsible for it on some level is corrupted or filled with toxic people - the system is very much needed and you do not want to see what's on the other side of the spectrum.
Instead of being edgy and making memes about people whose job is to protect us while also risking their lives, why not instead start with asking a question "but why are we where we are and how can we change this course?". It's definitely not by alienating the other side and making them appear as enemies. You guys could learn a thing or two from Scandinavia. Maybe that's the problem - I'm from the region, so my tolerance towards 13-year old behaviour is lower.
Why is it that talkies are having a very hard time understanding a difference between training to invade vs training to defend?
What? Many European countries are not really capitalistic dystopias
I feel like anyone who says "Republic of China" is a CCP troll. The comment itself is unhinged. No, Taiwan does not want to conquer most of the Asia, this is simply about stopping another invasion. You're the baddies, leave others alone, no one wants to invade you.
In all fairness, I didn't notice the community I'm on
Oh the irony
