Anyone interested in geopolitics should watch this documentary.

At first it was mainly the young people who voted en masse for the Progressive Democratic Party of Taiwan.

This party also clearly states that China and Taiwan are 2 separate countries. For China, Taiwan is a renegade province, which is also true in a way because after Mao and his communist party seized power on the mainland, the nationalist leaders, with millions of people in their wake, chose to go into exile on an archipelago of what would later become the independent Taiwan.

So far, China is not yet strong enough to conquer the country by force without suffering major losses and with the chance that they will have the knowledge there, namely the mass production of super-advanced semiconductors, which will run the entire world economy (including China) , would lead to damnation.

So the giant with 1.4 billion inhabitants tries to conquer the dwarf with 23 million inhabitants with spies, fake news, bribery and intimidation.

Since China's repression of the demonstrators in Hong Kong, fewer and fewer older generation Taiwanese believe that China will fulfill their promise of one country, two systems (i.e. with more democracy in Taiwan) and are therefore resolutely opting for independence .

And since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, a huge number of young people are undergoing expensive private training to learn how to use weapons and techniques to defend their country.
