It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

you miss something , simple check out what the "excat" name of the Goverment currently (temporarly Embaressed) Presiding ON the ISLAND of Taiwan /Formosa is.
you dont even need to check that out i helped you
Both Sides Claim All of china its the most extremly logical thing a GOVERMENT OF CHINA can do. Its btw not your fault that you dont know shit about Taiwan , but have a vague feeling of Indignation on its behalf this is your Media working as Intented in its "SOFTPOWER" Capacity Media is Softpower , the ability to make you hate what is not your enemy....
I'm really sorry I'm not quite following what you're saying. Taiwan are claiming all of China?
I think the question is surely should or does Taiwan want independence rather than pointing to the top of a Wikipedia page right?
Thanks for explaining it to me a lot more clearly, you have any good resources to read into this about? Any authors you'd recommend? This is a massive blind spot in my political knowledge.
There's no clear territorial definition of what constitutes the area of the ROC in their constitution. It mostly refers to a mainland, defined as the areas controlled by Chinese Communists.
Provisional Constitution Of The Republic Of China (1931) has one though, which is what's alluded to in the constitution:
Note that this refers to the provinces as they were considered in 1931, which means it includes all the concessions by PRC to Russia, Vietnam etc.
We can reach the same conclusion by understanding that the ROC holds itself as the sole inheritor of Qing, thereby all its lands. These lands are what they use for the outline of China, such as in the emblem of their marine corps.
I will say in parting that this doesn't mean the people of Taiwan island necessarily consider their government to be the rightful governors of PRC lands, let alone the rest of these claims. They have no intention or desire to invade Mongolia. Indeed, they may not have in 1947, and therefore didn't make any mentions of Mongolia or areas ceded by CPC. Regardless, successive governments have made no attempts to clarify this with new legislation.
Thanks a billion, probably more than a hint I should do the leg work lol. I'll edit in anything I find interesting!
