    there’s no such thing as a nation of taiwan, or the republic of china, in the eyes of the international law. that’s what matters.

    your “democratic nation” doesn’t exist in the eyes of almost the entire world.

    the only difference between taiwan and china is that china is a communist country and the government in taiwan is a capitalist vassal state of the united states. the culture is the same, the language is the same, the history is the same (except for after 1949 when kuomintang started ruling taiwan under a dictatorship under martial law, which was later followed by liberal democracy as late as 1987

    the only reason people want taiwan to be a separate country is because it’s pro-western and capitalist. there’s no real logical argument to be had for its independence. it’s just people being scared of big scary china and want it to be balkanized as much as possible to not threaten the western hegemony. the independence movement makes as much sense as like idk, a zhejiang independence movement (if the region was ruled by capitalists).

        made what case? do i really have to specifically state that i don’t get paid for random comments on an irrelevant platform?

        do you actually think governments would hire people to debate on platforms pretty much nobody is using, when they can just deploy a shit ton of llm bots on reddit (which they do btw). like this idea is incredibly stupid.

        now that i’ve addressed what you wanted, respond to my points, please.
