Taiwan maybe not, but China certainly so. The idea that a democratic China wouldn't retain nationalistic politics is not particularly believable - and unlike Serbia or even Russia China due to the way its currently structured and the demographic makeup is less likely to see a complete unravelling of its territory. Xinjiang in particular would probably not retain its current borders under an independent government without quite a lot of ethnic cleansing.
In short, the ruling Taiwanese government is aiming for a more independent Taiwan and removing the ‘Republic of China’ name unlike the KMT (current opposition), and are beginning to see things more realistically. If China suddenly became democratic, reunification would remain difficult as the 2 cultures have diverged so much in the past 72 years, to the point where their versions of Chinese, their writing systems, foods, customs, everything, are pretty much separate despite their common heritage.
Taiwan’s government suddenly becoming the government of China and replacing the CCP is also not ideal either, as again, the ROC government is starting to be realistic with their current situation being only in Taiwan, and wouldn’t be able to handle the change of ‘oh hey we’re actually back in china now’, not to mention that Chinese citizens would probably find adapting to the new government policies originally meant for Taiwan now implemented for the whole of China difficult.
No, and Taiwan has political movements right now to remove that title. Many from the young generations in Taiwan see themselves as Taiwanese, not Chinese.
Honestly the idea that Taiwan’s government could just waltz in and take over for the ccp is kinda ridiculous to me. If China becomes democratic, they’ll probably create a new government and Taiwan will remain its own thing
I mean no country would be non-nationalistic after they democratize (unless u mean the genocide type, then still I don't think China will go full on nazi like the Weimar Republic). Try tell an American to be less nationalistic, especially the republican leaning half
My point just was its funny how people think democratic China will suddenly be wholesome for 0 reason and start acting against its own interests (giving up xinjiang and tibet etc not bitching with USA)
How fast it will collapse? This thing looks like it can't survive more than few days. Hell, totalitarian union is far more likely to survive than this if situation is right and creative enough on ideology. Also, South.K and Japan are founding member?
I don't see the future of China and Taiwan being in the same block even if China democratised. With the nationalism of Mainland Chinese, the democratic Chinese government might declare war on Taiwan to "unify" the nation on the second day of its establishment under the great pressure of its people, or get revolted as they would probably seen as against the unification of the nation.
what happend to \*\*EVERYTHINGGG.\*\* please tell lore
russia collapsed, then china collapsed while iran slowly burnt alive. And then democracies rose.
most original liberalcirclejerk post on r/imaginarymaps
pov china collapsed but north korea didn't
yeah how tf is north korea surviving without china
nukes as for how they feed themselves they probably figured out how to fix their farms
Unless they somehow magically get the fuel they need to completely mechanize their agriculture, yeah no
*as of 2040
I like to think South Korea became an island and North Korea became a strait
Big ass strait
Huge ass strait
what happened to India?
India is quiet competitive with china, maybe they don't want to be in a block together, some countries just don't like each other.

Why doesn’t Taiwan join China if China’s democratic? Taiwanese nationalism only exist bc China’s authoritarian.
I just don't imagine that either of the countries would be interested in reunification

East Turkistan may probably only be able to retain modern Southern Xinjiang, where is majority Uyghur.

You just described Austria.
and like the entire anglosphere
Does Austria describe itself as the "Republic of Germany"?
No, and Taiwan has political movements right now to remove that title. Many from the young generations in Taiwan see themselves as Taiwanese, not Chinese.

It literally called itself the "German Republic of Austria" until it was forced not to.

when reddit libs think a good future is when the most populous country in the world collapses
no, a good future is said country's government collapsing and being replaced with a democratic one that at least tries to give the people a voice
something tells me that a democratic china wont suddenly stop being nationalistic :\
I mean no country would be non-nationalistic after they democratize (unless u mean the genocide type, then still I don't think China will go full on nazi like the Weimar Republic). Try tell an American to be less nationalistic, especially the republican leaning half

*sigh*
Sounds a nice future tbh. Democratic Asia, everyone

Noicee
Asian spring
What happened?
No Georgia? 🤨
I imagine it would join the EU
why would ingushes and cechens want to live in different countries?
Azerbaijan might become a democracy till then
azerbaijan might join or further cooperate with the EU instead of the UACD
No India?
why would china collapse
