      That Tiwan is the rightful government of China, there are just rebellious western provinces that call themselves the CCP?

        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.

          So what do tienanmen square and the oppression of native Taiwanese have to do with anything?

          You aren’t trying to go for a “Well someone else did something bad so now I am good thing are you?”

          Congratulations China and West Taiwan have both done bad things.

    Taiwan claims way, way more territory than that

    You don’t like China claiming Taiwan? Surely if illegitimate land claims are bad, you have issues with Taiwan for claiming China, Mongolia, Russia, Pakistan, India, and more, right?

      “China Bad” is meant to imply anything about China is bad. It’s meant to illustrate a dummy not able to see the nuances in a topic. (The dummy illustrated is Trump, ironic so many right wing ppl use it).

      In this case China is clearly bad and there is no nuance. Just like Ukraine, Taiwan is an independent nation and China is not allowed to invade.
