That’s actually their governments position. To admit otherwise would acknowledge Taiwan’s independence and would anger China. They are still technically at war.
The funny thing is that people think China would disagree with that map, yet that map is exactly what China claims. In fact, Taiwan claims far more than that map, so the only source of disagreement technically would be on the naming. However, China, or Sino wouldn’t actually care. You think China is the name they gave themselves or even use or say that term? That was a Western nomenclature put upon them in the first place.
China’s largest gas company is called sinopec, not chinapec. So that weird name change is meaningless to them. If that made the west happy so they could take over Taiwan, they’d do it in a heartbeat.
social credit is just gen Xs’ and millennials’ rebrand of orientalism and yellow peril. Boomers just called it called it China’s tentacles. It’s beaten to death and it wasn’t funny when it was brand new. Find new material to veil your orientalism please, this one’s all used up
Social credit, insofar as it actually exists, is barely any different from a criminal record, and certainly less restrictive than that combined with a FICO score and an advertiser’s profile.
the racist thing is Americans calling literally any other country in the world “authoritarian” because the way they do it doesn’t involve police apprehending you for failing to pay your Big Mac microloan
America has 4% of the world population and 25% of it’s prison population. Over a quarter of our prisoners are held with no trial and a majority are held on nonviolent charges. America has the largest military in the world and has used it to exact more death than any other nation on the planet today. America has the Patriot Act, the TSA, the CIA, and the FBI. Any discussion about authoritarianism that does not start and end with America is an unfounded attack on every other nation mentioned, and that’s usually gonna be american exceptionalism and prejudice against whoever the other nation is.
That Tiwan is the rightful government of China, there are just rebellious western provinces that call themselves the CCP?
I agree. (But I think they were just making fun of your spelling).
pssst. that wasn’t OP
Those flithy westerners

The KMT are literal fascists. You don’t become the rightful government without overwhelming support of the people.
Mate, you might be 30 years in the past
things people who invoke holodomor on an hourly basis say
Working overtime to keep that social credit score high I see

I tought this was a thing, not like the western media portrays but somewhat? What actually happens over there, can you elaborate?
