>>”The CCP thru a revolution took over China, they view Formosa aka Taiwan as theirs just we view Alaska and Hawaii as ours.”

They may view them that way, but they’d be wrong to do so. Alaska and Hawaii were not acquired by force. The Chinese mainland was. Besides that, Taiwan was never controlled by the CCP, so to view them as a breakaway region is inaccurate. Of course, that doesn’t mean the CCP doesn’t try to portray the situation that way. But it’s just not accurate.

I think you are missing the point, it’s not what you and I think is right it’s the way China views Taiwan, they believe Taiwan was and always will be part of greater China.

There is no way China will allow Taiwan to become an independent country aligned and armed by the USA, it’s taken China decades to believe they on par militarily with the USA, they may not fully believe that now at some point they will
