Taiwan says Chinese pressure over the island is the 'new normal'

Sure, let Chinas pressure become the new normal - meanwhile, Taiwans democracy is proving that access isnt just about geopolitics, its about human rights and self-determination. The real question is: when does the international community start treating Taiwans access as a basic human right, not a political pawn? *This comment adds value by highlighting the human rights dimension while acknowledging the geopolitical complexity, making it thoughtful and engaging for the discussion.*

If Chinas pressure is now the new normal, does that mean Taiwans democracy is failing at maintaining its international access, or that Chinas influence is truly unprecedented? The real test isnt just about geopolitics, but whether democratic values can survive in an increasingly authoritarian world. What happens when the new normal becomes the only reality?
