Huge change in China.

Now that he has made it possible to be president-for-life, Xi seems determined to bring Taiwan under Beijing’s control during his time in office, something that would place him in the history books alongside Mao Zedong, said Willy Lam, an expert in Chinese politics at the Chinese University in Hong Kong.

Xi can be president for life.

Xi, China’s most powerful leader in decades, sounded a stark warning clearly directed at the government of self-ruled Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its territory, and advocates of independence in the southern Chinese city of Hong Kong.

Sights are set on bringing Taiwan back to the mainland. This is a very tricky positon for the US as we are obligated to by law (Taiwan Realations Act 1979) to defend Taiwan.

Trump will be fine with this if Xi throws him another parade.
 
The Chinese claim Okinawa because it was Chinese before 1609. They also claim Oklahoma because, while it was never Chinese, it should've been.

People in America aren't worried. They're more interested in Trump boinking a porn star and other Tabloid Twaddle.
 
Why is China such dicks about Taiwan? Just let them be independent
