Thoughts?

Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

    You are wrong.

    Does me saying that help you notice that you are wrong?

    They call themselves oficially the “true” govern of China to this day, and their internal diplomacy is based on that.

      No-one in the government of Taiwan considers themselves the true government of China. But they’re stuck with the old constitutional claims from the 1940s still on the paper because any change to reflect reality would be called a “declaration of independence” by China, and trigger a military reaction.

        You don’t think that people in the KMT would? I think there are still some who hold that view and would never say it because it’s brings waaaay too much heat and no political points. Rather, the KMT has shifted to cultural identity position.

      Well, no, if you just say it. Duh. Who do you think you are?

      They call themselves oficially the “true” govern of China to this day, and their internal diplomacy is based on that.

      I feel like you totally did not read the last sentence of my comment, so I’ll quote it here so you can be sure not to miss it!

      if that got them their UN recognition.
