Idea: To counter US Taiwan policy, China should formally admit Texas is an independent country

[kankan326]

This is my idea. Since US is using Taiwan as a weapon to attack China. China should take revenge measures. For example, admitting Texas is an independent country. No matter how Texas responses, China will unilaterally offer Texas tariff preference policies and other policies that can help its economy and political identity. For example, if a product that contains >80% made in Texas parts, it can enjoy relatively low tariff. Meantime China should raise tariff for rest US states further more. China is a huge market. There must be some consequences if this idea is implemented for several years.

And it is a stupid idea...

While your 'idea' is amusing, it has a very big handicap. The government of PRC will not listen to what a citizen of PRC says. They do what CCP wants.

This idea will make one state super rich and drive money and jobs out of other states

The government of PRC will note the suggestion down and consider its feasibility

in the grand scheme of things, no govt will listen to one guy.
And in that grand scheme of things, you must be part of a local recognized council for whatever political body the country follows.
And from there, you must make a name for yourself so the upper civil bodies can recognize your spirit and ambition which will be based on your popularity with the people and grant votes for consideration in the provincial/prefectural/state body and then when you're there you must do the same but on a grander scale and then eventually finally after many long years of hard work, you must put forth the idea in front of the national council where it must get approved by majority and then the eventually, and hopefully, it gets implemented in the next few years.
Sounds like too much work.

This idea sounds simple. But it can actually bring consequences. People in Texas may not think too much about independence when few people talk about it. But if there are some big countries like China and Russia that officially recognize its independence. There will be some sentiment changes for sure. If Texas becomes very rich under the dividend of being regarded having different identity from other states, the sentiment change will be more obvious.

Maybe its time for China to interfer in American internal affairs as US does to Chinese internal affairs all the time.

 

[That Guy]

LMAO

Texas doesn't want to separate. What an idiotic idea.

If you think this is a good idea, then China should be glad you don't work in any influential position in government.

Maybe its time for China to interfer in American internal affairs as US does to Chinese internal affairs all the time.

They both already interfere in each other's affairs. This isn't a maybe, China already does this, and the US does it to China as well.

Have you been to Texas or spoken to any Texans? Do you know its history? It is known as a 'Lone Star State', It was an independent republic.

I chose Texas because of its unique history.
I've never been to Texas. But I know the nature of human beings.

Texans won't care if Russia or China wants to recognize them. It means less to them than a bag of Doritos.

Chinese and Russian affiliated posters don't understand exactly why the US government adopted the specific strategy it is currently adopting in geopolitics, particularly shown in the whole Ukraine Business. The Government in DC doesn't fear a Russia/China bloc victory in Ukraine, that is NOT why they've adopted the current policies. What DC fears is the possibility of having to implement updated NATO policies within NATO and the western alliance in response to geopolitical events. They don't want a western rearmament program or even a US rearmament program.

Now you are probably saying WHAT, what you said doesn't make sense, bear with me. The current governments in the US, Canada and to a lesser extent in Britain, France and Germany are currently enamored with and are trying to implement "woke" cultural policies. They do not want a rearmament program even one that leads to geopolitical victories, yes even a geopolitically victorious rearmament program is unacceptable to them because that would mean the government having to give up their "woke" ideology and their "woke" project.

It is for this reason, a radicalization of domestic politics, not anything that directly has to do with foreign affairs, is why western governments have adopted the specific policy toward the Russia-Ukraine war that they have had. Hence the policy of supporting ukraine and deliberately severing trade ties with Russia and China but at the same time showing extreme reluctance to say give Ukraine heavy weapons or carry out western rearmament.

But they care money. China can make them rich.
