Do you know what would happen if we did that?

I dream about that day, I hope it is soon. However, I also believe that would kick off a hot war between the two most powerful countries on the planet. Not afraid of that, but I would be prepared to do so before I went down this road.

I'll be locked and loaded right next to you regardless, just think we better have our eyes wide open as to what we are facing before we decide to do it. They've had us in their sights for decades as a public and we just figured this out two months ago. We've got some catching up to do, IMO.

Imagine if sometime in the 1970s, we decided to recognize the DPRK instead of South Korea, and moved a ton of manufacturing there, then let agents from their government influence our media and Congress. That’s basically what Nixon did with Chyna

North Korea is basically China's puppet. They use them for political cover all the time.

I’ll 1-up you. In 1971, the UN decided to recognize the PRC as China and kicked Taiwan out of the UN. Prior to this the ROC (Taiwan) held the Chinese UN Security Seat since the UN’s inception (since they did all the fighting and were thus present when the Japanese surrendered). This is why the permanent security council seats belong to the US, UK, France, Russia, and China (at the time ROC China).

What happened was this: in 1971, after more than 25 years of ROC control of the Chinese UN seat, a tiny country, Albania, a former Soviet client state now under the PRCs influence after a bad break up with the Russians, submitted an UN resolution to kick the ROC out of the UN and recognIze the PRC instead. All Communist nations voted in favor.

So Taiwan was kicked out of the UN. The PRC was given the Chinese permanent security council seat and thus has total veto control. Now Taiwan will never be recognized due to the CCPs veto. Don’t like the PRCs treatment of Uyghurs ? Veto. The UN will do nothing.

Mention this fact to the idiots on Reddit who say the UN is an apolitical organization and that Taiwan has never been a member of the UN gets them all riled up.
