But \u201cadvocating for unification by force and for war has nothing to do with freedom of speech\u201d.In a recent video, Liu claimed Taiwan would be reduced to \u201cdust in less than half an hour\u201d if targeted by the Chinese military.Previously, she said that \u201cif you don\u2019t want peaceful unification, then we must have non-peaceful unification\u201d, using Beijing\u2019s euphemism for an attack.In past posts, she has urged China to make a military move, asking why Beijing has not been \u201cdoing unification by force already\u201d.After she was called in for questioning on Monday, Liu complained on her Douyin account that she was being bullied online and questioned why her right to free speech was being denied just because she advocated Chinese patriotism.Liu could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
