Feeling like quitting everything and starting a new life in Taiwan

I meant studying in Taiwan. It makes it easier to get a visa later on.

Why would you want to study in Taiwan?
East Asia only has one-way lectures: no discussion groups, no student presentations etc.

East Asians are absolute shit at giving presentations when they finish their education. All you do is sit in your lecture hall.
Plus I presume you're not fluent in Mandarin, and you should know that the lectures are in that language.

If you think there is some foreigner program, there might be, but you won't learn the language and will only have other foreigners as friends.

There are degrees taught in the English language. I can learn Mandarin on the side and meet people in other ways than at university.

It is really hard to meet locals if you don't know any Mandarin. English lectures in East Asia tend to be crap.

I would reconsider if I were you.

All Chinese people who don't follow the communist party's lead are seen as race traitor

There is still no reason for China to nuke Taiwan. They want the country, not a wasteland.
Plus the world would react.

Moving to Taiwan is 99% safe, but you might get hit by a scooter or something.

>And unlike most other cases where use of nukes will be constrained due to fear on counterattack, because China see Taiwan as their own land that foreign power should not intervene, there won't be a reason for them to hold back on using nukes
>Although it won't stop me or anyone from planning to move to Taiwan

>Nuking the territory and people you want to annex.

I don't think the Chinese government are as retarded as you.

Underrated comment

>no discussion groups/presentations
Sounds way better than our system of "girls in the group get offended at literally everything and email the professor about it"

The party have created a sentiment on Chinese internet which can be described as:
Taiwan is always the territory of China
But those Taiwanese people think they don't belong to our China
So the best way to resolve it is kill and remove all of them.
This way no one is going to claim they aren't part of China.
All those people who dislike China so much can fuck off to Japan or USA that breed them, they aren't actually Chinese
Taiwan is strategically important to China and control Chinese access to the Pacific. Turning it into a nuclear wasteland would still benefit China by giving China a more direct access to the Pacific

Yeah, Americans are so fucking retarded.

My girlfriend does university college which is pretty US oriented. Dutch people tend to be pretty blunt and not care about racism that much, but at the university college there are lots of fucking Americans and they get offended when you dress as an Amerindian or wear a fucking kimono to a party.

Americans don't do discussions, they just get offended about everything and lose sight of the actual problems.

Still, in a normal Dutch university you can have a normal discussion group, which is way better than passively sitting in a chair and hearing some guy give a lecture in broken English as is what would await the French guy in Taiwan.

If it isn't obvious enough, they want the island of Taiwan, not the people of Taiwan

I'm still really sure they don't want a wasteland

If you use a small enough bomb like those America used in Japan then the radiation can go away quick enough. And China have so many excess construction capability that they wouldn't mind reconstructing entire island from the ground up

Mate, Taiwanese universities are really popular for Chinese students.
No matter what they made the people believe, the CCP isn't retarded enough to throw the first nuke since WW2 on their own people when they can get the island peacefully in a few decades simply because it completely depends on the mainland economically.

Let's hope this is the case but I won't place my bet on Beijing government to act in a sane way

In that case you can't live in HK either

most probably

I don't know about Taiwan well but I do stuff in South Korea. It's mostly the same Eastern Asian mentality so here is an advice :
-At least a master degree with a valuable skill
-Learn the language

You are old but not too old and univ is free in our glorious country.
Asian countries have good jobs with good working conditions for foreigners with valuable skills, but they crack down on English "teachers" and that kind of things.
Social statue is also extremely important in Asia, if you don't have a good degree and job, your working conditions will be terrible, and everybody is gonna shit on you for visa, housing, gf and every aspects of your life.

If you want to start a life in Asia you can, but don't take it lightly, do it 100% or don't do it.

Taiwan is almost impossible to invade; the coastline is very rugged and intricate, they also have the protection of the US Navy, and Taipei has spent almost 70 years preparing for the possibility of invasion. They have some extensive and heavy duty defenses built up. On top of that, China does not have anywhere near the technical or logistical capabilities for a military venture of this scale. Leaked PLA documents admitted that invading Taiwan would "pose immense military and logistical challenges and require enormous sacrifices".
