I'd do it myself but I value my sanity

I would, but I got banned for daring to disagree with their narratives. Apparently brigading other instances and users is fine, but you have the audacity to go there and debate their lunacy, and it's ban time.
I had to block their Instance. I am very sympathetic and generally agreeable to many communist ideals but their brigading and style of that community is annoying.
They deny wholehearted they don't brigade they'll call you a liar and say that's never happened
Lemmy is a pretty bad pace to be then, same thing happens here
Add Tibet, Xianchang, Manchuria, as separate countries and switch Inner Mongolia to being part of Mongolia and now we're getting somewhere.
Taiwan didn't even recognize Mongolia's independence until 2002. Good luck getting the KMT to accept Tibet's or Uyghurstan's independence.
Next thing you know, Western Taiwan decides it's time to make North Korea their brand new province, because "historic grounds" or something

I really hope China doesn't legitimately try to take Taiwan someday. Would be a terrible day for Earth.
Very likely within the next few years unfortunately
I doubt it, there's not much for them to gain from it but a lot to lose
Taiwan currently produces some of the worlds besteht chips via tsmc and holds a very powerfull geological Position in the "south china'' sea
Even if they managed to recover all chip factories after a full scale invasion (which the Taiwanese could easily sabotage), the production is based on a lot of western technology, which they couldn't replicate for decades. So the factories would be of little use.
Chinas economy is also very reliant on exports to western countries (US, Japan, Europe), if they invaded Taiwan that would plunge the world economy into the worst crisis ever seen that would hit China especially hard. They're already struggling with serious demographic and other economic issues that will put them into a difficult spot in the next decades. Invading Taiwan would be very, very terrible for basically everyone, and suicide for the CCP.
I agree with you, but I also thought that about Ukraine, so who knows

It'd be a tremendously stupid thing to do. Unfortunately for everyone, Xi Jinping might just be that stupid.
According to Wendover (neat youtube channel), the "deadline" of that event is likely 2027. Whether it will happen or not is a whole different story

Q: How do you determine who is cheating in the online game you're playing?
A: Declare that Taiwan is best China. All the cheaters will start screaming.

is it racist to imply that it is only the chineese who cheat at online games?
who knows
It's somewhat racist, but it's also got some truth to it. Anywhere internet cafés are a thing cheating tends to be more popular. They're usually not using their own account, so there is no risk to cheating. Internet cafés are prevalent in China and Russia, so there's a stereotype of them being cheaters. That's not to say they all do it, but it's more likely than most other places.

How to piss off the PRC with one pic.
Did you mean PRWT?
I mean, doesnt that kinda play into the PRC's narrative that Taiwan and China are the same country?
The PRC and RoC share a lot of the same territorial disputes because they both view themselves as the one rightful Chinese government; they largely agree which land is "part of China". It's taking Taiwan's side because it's saying they should administer all of it.
Doesn't Taiwan largely still do this in the modern day because revoking those claims would be equivalent to declaring its formal independence as a separate country, which is something China has threatened would be met with invasion?
I feel like "say this or I punch your teeth in" kind of takes some of the legitimacy out of the statement, don't you?

Yes they are.
And Taiwan is the rightful heir of China!
Why people in the west care about this territorial conflict.
It is clearly a strategic conflict for USA and allies to keep China at distance and reduce their ability to move further.
But for people to keep talking about it like it is a ( good vs evil ) feels like propganda by USA military or something.
If we imagine a world where china without Nuclear weapons, so Nato can stop them anytime, I dont think the USA media will care about them.
Because a global power engaging in aggressive colonialism is bad - even when it's not the US doing it.
It's pretty clear that having a strategic partner in that part of the world is a net positive for western counties. Also Taiwan supplies a huge fraction of our computer chips.
That they managed to utterly dominate the chipmaking market and use that as a leverage to make allies was a real master move. The pandemic and the whole supply chain troubles giving a wake up call that "all eggs in one basket" is bad sure got them worried, tho.
Because Taiwan makes most of the computer chips we use, and the US definitely has a vested interest in China not obtaining that knowledge.
Why are you including Tibet in that?
Nah, Taiwan only avoids forsaking these claims because doing so would be interpreted as a formal declaration of independence, prompting an invasion.
Ok but this is literally true, broth the PRC and the ROC claim to be the real china

but also remove all the borders
Couldn't help but notice Honk Kong (UK) sticking out like a sore thumb. Anyways f*** imperialism/colonialism!
This is actually a possibility in the game Terra Invicta. If you have annex claims on China as Taiwan, and then confederate the nations, they become 'Unified Taiwan'.
