Not renouncing the use of force is entirely different than exercising it, which they haven’t. This would be like calling the US imperialist because it wouldn’t accept the south from succeeding pre-civil war. How
China’s top official in charge of Taiwan policy, the ruling Communist Party’s fourth-ranked leader Wang Huning, did not mention force in a key policy speech on Saturday, which instead focused on how both sides would benefit from “reunification”.
So they aren’t even threatening it, just not ruling it out. Again, not very imperialistic.
I didn’t say they had exercised force, I said they’re likely planning the use of force to take over Taiwan, whether the people of Taiwan want that or not. I would regard that as imperialistic. I think it would be more humane to respect the wishes of Taiwan - if they want to join the PRC then okay, but if they don’t then perhaps that should be respected.

How likely? Do you know what “we haven’t ruled out x” means? How daft are you?
Well I can see things that are obviously true and you apparently can’t, so I guess I’m not as daft as you
