“One Country, Two Systems”: Hong Kong, along with Macau, are the only territories in the People’s Republic of China to supposedly enjoy a “high degree of autonomy” and freedom under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle as guaranteed by the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Hong Kong Basic Law.
Hong Kong even has their own government (which was undermined by the CCP), of course it’s relevant.
Taiwan would first become a puppet of China, then forcefully gets fully integrated. There won’t be any independence, especially not economic independence as China wants the chip factories.
Im seriously trying to work with you here. It’s very clear when I said “full autonomy” I did not mean only a “high degree of autonomy” as was the case with Hong Kong. Please listen to what I said and don’t get side tracked by imagining how a made up solution that you invented is doomed.
Yes, they could work out a pretense of “One China” while staying separate and just adding a trade deal on top. Just as Ukraine agreed to be independent, give up their nuclear weapons and live in peace with Russia, having guarantees they wouldn’t be attacked.
Sorry, but the only thing I’d accept is China declaring Taiwan as its own independent country. They can add a trade deal on top or whatever else they want to sweeten the deal, but that’s what it takes. As long as China keeps up the idea that Taiwan belongs to them this is never going to work out.
How well the diplomatic solution of “One China, while keeping their autonomy” works could be seen with Hong Kong. Lol.
Free Hong Kong, fuck the CCP.
Taiwan should be an independent country, full stop.
Hong Kong doesn’t have full political autonomy. It never did, not under the British nor under the PRC. How’s that at all relevant to what I said?

Oh, I fully understand you, I just hate the idea.
