Taiwan is not part of China
China is part of Taiwan.
Or more precisely, PRC is rebelled provinces of China.
West Taiwan
Hello from Taiwan, while your heart's in the right place this meme actually plays into China's hands as it fits their one-china narrative. Taiwan considers itself an independent nation and hopes the wider international community will begin treating it as such.
Last time I heard you still officially maintain your claims to mainland China, Mongolia and part of Russia and India.
Also, I wouldnt say his heart is in the right place. PRC is the direct result of the faliure of the KMT junta and its widespread terror.
Either "China" only ever hurt mainland. Taiwan is a democracy that circumstantially became viable and manageable (even then, it took decades) on an island with the population of 20 million people.
I agree with your sentiment that Taiwan is probably better off by itself. Nobody actually knows how to manage mainland properly.
I don’t get it. What’s wrong with my heart?
Nice try, Xi!
Not even Taiwan says that though. ;)
acknowledging the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China
The US "acknowledges China's position" on Taiwan, but carefully avoids an explicit official stance on Taiwanese sovereignty.
They don't acknowledge Taiwan "sovereignty" because they support the claim that the legitimate government of all of China is the one in Taiwan.
No, they do not.
Their de facto stance is that the Taiwanese government is sovereign over the island, but they formally accept that the PRC is the government of China.
It's a careful line between ensuring the continued de facto independence of their key ally, without inducing the inevitable temper tantrum from China of formally treating them as independent.
Coincidently, Taiwan position is the same.
I wonder if the US also "acknowledges UKs position" on the Falklands or straight up supports them because they're in bed together
Arent the Falklands largely populated b people of British descent? Also I just skimmed the wiki article and while Argentina did attempt to settle the islands in the early 1800s, that was over 200 years ago and the island has been held decently well by the British since.
Plus I doubt the Falklanders want to be part of the shitshow that is Argentina, the UK may be a mess but they usually let their random islands do their own thing.
There was a referendum on the subject and apparently only one person on the entire Island voted to be Argentinian, and he had an Argentinian wife so possibly a biased opinion.
It was obviously a secret vote but given the fact that he was the only one that ever said anything pro Argentinian, it was pretty easy to work out.
Both countries might have right wing nationalist governments but at least the UK's government is incompetent and is therefore unlikely to be a major threat to your liberty.
