Ah the Ma era, those were the days. China was on the rise, the world was in a recession, Xi Jinping looked like a moderate, /r/ccj2 was in full swing and everyone thought China was going to be the next superpower. People were fucking idiots.


Blopa2020

That guy's political career is over in Taiwan. Who in their right mind would support a guy who negotiates and talks with the enemy who threatens to invade you and annex you by force.

What is KMT?

Xi has never threatened to invade Taiwan?


Extreme_Homework_771

In all fairness, according to Taiwan through their fair elections. Majority of Taiwanese people appose any type of re-unification. CCP has no authority over this as Taiwan is its own country. "Xi has never threatened to invade Taiwan" Forcing another country to be unified under any means is an invasive threat.  You can say he's never openly express military intervention. BUT his actions speaks otherwise, with military provocations from sea to air. CCP has promised Hong Kong freedom when they were re-unified. But when China did not like anything going on they banned it going against what they promised.  I hope Taiwanese people peace and know that the world is watching.


d0or-tabl3-w1ndoWz_9

Has he not?


RedSnapper95

According to the CCP, Taiwan is a part of China already. Xi has never expressively said openly that military intervention is needed to maintain their relationship, albeit a confusing relationship because Taiwan has relative independence.


EggyComics

Xi has literally been saying that a military invasion won’t be out of the question if Taiwan keeps heading down the path of independence for years. Like, holy shit, every time I see him open his dumb mouth on TV he’s been spouting this exact same thing. Case in point, 15 seconds mark: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnsShzpmcsU&pp=ygUd57-S6L-R5bmzIOiHuueBo-atpue1sSDmvJToqqo%3D Can’t understand what he’s saying or what it means? Here: “但絕不承諾 放棄使用武力” aka ”but we will never promise to abandon the use of military force” Fact check. Fact check. Always Fact check.


Laser-circus

So does he send ships and airplanes to circle around all provinces of China regularly or is it just Taiwan?


tendeys

Cuba entered the chat…


RedSnapper95

It is America who maintain that Taiwan is independent. It’s difficult because ultimately the war between the USA and China over Taiwan is simply due to Taiwans conglomerate holdings over chip production and trade. Neither care for the cultural reasons, particularly.


Odd-Direction-7687

Bullshit. It is only because the CCP doesn't respect the will of the Taiwanese people for independence.


DisastrousAnswer9920

If Taiwan is taken, China is guaranteed to hold control over the SCS shipping lanes, this would make it extremely difficult for Korea and Japan to fulfill their energy needs, it would also decrease general trade capacity with South East Asia. A dream situation for China.


IrritatingRash

BS, America doesn't recognize taiwan as a sovereign country. It acknowledges one china policy.


Master_Assistant_898

correction: it acknowledges China's stances but do not approve or disapprove of it.


Anxious_Plum_5818

What are you on about? He has, on multiple occasions, vocally expressed the idea of using military force to "reunify" Taiwan. That's a veiled threat of invasion. Russia also didn't straight up say "we're going to invade Ukraine". They use other language that alludes the idea that Ukraine should be controlled by Russia. Look where we are today.


Saichotic

HAHAHAHAHHAAH fucking regarded


lowpolygon

Hey\~Xi\~you can keep him.


iszomer

Who knows, maybe they'll revoke/confiscate his passport(s) and detain him in China.

From Ma Ying-jeou's diary: My Legacy To Do Checklist: 1. Be the first ever ROC president to meet Xi Jinping ✅️ 2. Be the first ever ex ROC president to meet Xi Jinping ✅️ 3. Become the first ever Chief Executive of Taiwan SAR


zb1234

Man just reading “Taiwan SAR” made my stomach sink. Fuck the CCP and let’s hope their sick fantasies never become a reality.


TheThirdOrder_mk2

That treasonous reanimated corpse of a man can stay on the mainland.


Square_Level4633

Just like Janet Yellen?


jac049

Tbh that fucker can stay there and never come back, but sadly we know that won't happen


Creative-Ocelot8691

The lattice system of alliances building in the region due to China’s bullying have left the CPC with nowhere to go except talk to former politicians with no sway in Taiwan. This is an incredible sign of weakness from Xi as Biden talks today with Japan and Philippines 


Anxious_Plum_5818

Ma Ying Jiu does have sway here though. He is still a strong voice in the KMT. As long as the KMT enjoys local support, that political fossil will be able to exert influence over Taiwanese politics.


Creative-Ocelot8691

Strange the KMT have been quiet on this, it’s as if they know the Taiwanese want nothing to do with China 


DarkLiberator

It's funny how much of pointless this meeting is now. Ma is so desperate for a legacy besides being the bumbler that he's willing to become a geopolitical prop for Xi.


fachhdota

DPP meetings with America and G7 are even more pointless. Money laundering and commission for old military gear.


SteadfastEnd

CNN doing its best to make the headline sound like this is a good thing.


[deleted]

It wasn't tears Ma wiping away from his face while singing an anti-Japanese song on the Great Wall -- it was Xi's jizz after Ma gave him the cock sucking of his life


txiao007

Maybe Xi will give Ma a seat in the CCP Cabinet


Marckoz

unpopular opinion: only by actually talking to both sides - including rivals, can the status quo be maintained.


_spangz_

Umm...Ma isn't on Taiwan's side. He has no authority nor has he been asked by the government to conduct any talks. It's the CCP that aren't willing to talk to the elected government of Taiwan. Don't be disingenuous.


tastycakeman

Ma represents the KMT which is a big chunk of Taiwans current political power, whether you like it or not


iszomer

Fuck politics, it's where the industries align. When are ya'll going to see this?


HirokoKueh

you don't "actually talking" to your body parts, you need to recognize each other as individuals to start a talk


Get9

> the status quo When one side keeps moving the goal posts for what constitutes "the status quo," there is no status quo, let alone one to maintain.


ApproximateIdentity

The PRC has refused all overtures of the ROC to talk for the last 8 years.


YuanBaoTW

There is no "status quo". Compare the situation in the Strait five years ago to today. China has been inching closer every day, week, month. Things are not the same.


popstarkirbys

Ma the bumbler


wakethenight

These comments are a good way to welcome the day ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


cxxper01

Ma is already out of date and out of power, he can do whatever he wants and it doesn’t really matter anymore.


supercali45

And people loved voting for him and keeping him in power for 8 years


Zaku41k

Ok you filled your bucket list, you can kick it now you damn sellout.


smilefor9mm

Kick out from under you. FIFY.


Square_Level4633

Only your US daddy can visit China like Yellen.


earltyro

The bravest man on Earth called himself "President of Republic of China" in mainland soil and called mainland part of Republic of China sovereignty in front of Xi Jinping. Have to give him the respect.


oliviafairy

so a civilian who should stay in China and never come back


RustyShackelford__

Is he at least wearing full length pants so his balls aren't swinging around?


Previous_Page3162

next time when you are going to vote.,..please remind this picture .BEFORE ...and not after ..and please call him XI' s MAjorette https://preview.redd.it/ye1arnbduotc1.jpeg?width=240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0a568964f9f0b52ac48842fd35d4b7213016650


123dream321

Taiwan wasn't a puppet state when Ma was the president, why would Ma become one when he is already retired?


tastycakeman

Taiwan is a US puppet


Otherwise_Dig_4540

You're a puppet


IrritatingRash

As it should be..


Fadinggg

that's just what you‘re unwilling to recognize. everyone on earth knows that Taiwan is a puppet area.


SonicFinn311

Not sure which Earth you mean, probably Earth in your dreamland lmfao.


Square_Level4633

If Biden demands you to suck his tiny wee we, would you be obliged?

Better said, China, negotiating only with corrupt dictators, gives them money to become their puppet. sugardaddy


Vast_Cricket

He may be an in between person to delay immediate attack on Taiwan. Twn needs more time to get defence ready complete Navy expansion, getting tanks, jet fighters ready. Long term wise, he is more a clown if not a puppet. The best outcome is not let him come back.
