Potential rape victims should stop preparing to defend themselves from rapists at the bar? That's the logic you're spouting.
Stop resisting or else China invades, and China makes no promises to not invade anyway...
Taiwan isn't a potential rape victim, it's a guy constantly telling everyone he'll kill any motherfucker that sets foot on his land and is constantly building up his stockpile of weapons and ammo.
Guys like that often end up becoming mass shooters.
Just remind me, who keeps pushing here?

To my mind, it sure seems like Taiwan is like a home owner with small kids who is constantly telling people that their neighbor with unchained pittbulls is dangerous, and then gets criticized for putting up a fence to keep the unchained pittbulls out of their yard.
China is like a rabid dog here, and you're saying Taiwan shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves? Do fuck off.
