This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

In full honesty as well, in every possible way that would affect the average Taiwanese person, Taiwan is already independent.
Why would they want to “declare independence”? How would they impact the average person in any way at all?
They'd do it to provoke a war on behalf of the USA of course. The media would tell them to "want to".
The reason so many people in Taiwan Province want to maintain the status quo is because they get de facto independence while enjoying preferential treatment in China for both people and exports. It's like the Australia-New Zealand relationship except non-reciprocol on Taiwan Province's part.
That, and they don't have to put their lives and livelihoods on the line dealing with a potential forceful reunification.
Useful context to OP to be honest. The question should have compared to the number of people in Taiwan that would like to be unified with China to be a more fair comparison
