Good news Taiwan wasn't planning that. Seriously current mood is maintaining the defacto independence.
Shh you'll ruin the entire neoliberal western narrative that has caused the populations of the US and Europe to constantly disparage the single most advanced form of government proven so far. If they cannot fear monger about China being evil bloodthristy imperialists wanting to take Taiwan or propagandize Taiwan as being brave independent freedom fighters then all the other hundreds of billions of dollars in propaganda through hundreds of outlets in more than two dozen countries including extensive terror campaigns, the wholesale creation of several cults, and the world's most extensive propaganda NGO in world history would all be for nothing.
They really don't understand they're the bad guys and not China, and it'd break their little hearts to find out China got that big without doing all the evil shit they did.
You do realize that China literally considers Taiwan a province in rebellion right? Or did you think that the mainland actually was giving formal recognition to it's independence this whole time.
They’re a tankie, they don’t realise anything.
...Who said any of that? Yes, Taiwan is a province of China. Because they are the old imperialist, fascist government of China that was beaten in the civil war.
Cool cool, Tibet and forced sterilisations.
Give any source for forced sterilization that isn't a front for the NED and I will personally send you $1,000 USD.
It's actually really easy to find if you don't speak Mandarin and read 8% IUD rates as 80% then never correct your error.
Tibet was a theocratic slave trading shithole before China, the only people pretending otherwise are braindead westerners coping poorly with their increasing irrelevance
Gotcha, imperialism is only great when China does it.
Dude, just go there and take a look at it for yourself. It's not like there's a mystic veil over Tibet.
