The end of WWII was just the end of that conflict regarding people standing up to a bully, on a global scale. Unless we are willing to continually stand up to the bullies of the world, we are doomed to repeat our history, as the saying goes.I'm afraid for what this will mean going forward.
The end of WWII was supposed to be the end of bigger nations taking over smaller ones just because they can.
I do think this puts massive pressure on Taiwan as China has been edging towards retaking it since broke away in the first place but Xi seems particularly focused on making an actual move possible. If I had to guess what's on the top of his bucket list it would be reuniting Taiwan.
The arguments Putin has made about Ukraine actually being part of Russia are even more true in regard to Taiwan and China.
