China is nothing more than another autocrat dictatorship, same as Russia, NK, Turkey, Hungary, Cuba and some more, the number one priority for Xi when he was given the CCP leader ship was to change their (so called) of a constitution into a new one where by he will be declared President/Emperor for life and will not be challenged as for Taiwan it's difficult to understand his obsession with the island as it was never occupied by China thus never part of China (it was part of the Qing dynasty back in the 17th century) but similar obsession with the SCS Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Borneo, Indonesia by bullying them and anybody that doesn't follow their ideas
This self-governing island state also styles itself as the Republic of China since 1949. and recorded at the UN under such name while the CCP is not an official member of the UN
