    that’s the problem for the united states; the taiwanese keep electing people that are friendly with china so the united states keeps fostering a new anti-chinese groups that wins elections once every 10/15 years or so thanks to american money, until they’re elected out again.

      But they don’t want to BE china. No one’s out here forcing them to be their own country. They don’t want to be china. Canada was pretty friendly with the United States up until trump started saying they were going to BE the United States.

      That tends to piss people off.

          “For the 23 million people of our nation, ‘return’ is not an option - this is very clear,” Mr Cho added

          They rejected the one china policy. Even the one china two systems policy.

          Seems like the whole country there is very vocal they don’t want to be china. And china is very much insisting they are still china.

          Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

          Then why aren’t they china? Why is it an issue at all? They have the option right now to be china yet they aren’t.

          Instead they are their own country and china is shouting they shouldn’t be.

          And you can’t claim that’s americas doing because America won’t even call it a country.

          You know who’s calling it a country? They are. That’s just the way it is.

          That’s why this meme exsists at all lol if ever agrees it’s china… why is there a meme? What exactly would make it funny if thinking its its own country is to rare.

          Replace the last square with a whisky river and tell me how that would be joke at all? It’s only a meme because its trying to argue against a country we know is real.
