@accretionist@DemocracyMattersALot I have no question regarding Russia. Putin is very dangerous. China is more complex. There are possibilities of positive developments there, as Xi is not a lunatic. However, officially, as far as China is concerned, Taiwan is a disobedient province, not a sovereign state. It remains unfinished business after the civil war.
I’d rather no state was throwing weapons around. Xi is less likely to listen to those who only profess peace.
