Thanks again for sharing this. I’ll try to read more about this.

Of course I know how close it is, I was there. But the drills weren’t casual drills obviously, they were in response to National Day celebration. It actually made us nervous about our trip.

A side note: I’m happy to learn more and understand different perspectives, however what’s with ad hominem attacks of vibes, propaganda and all? You can share your thoughts without making it sound like a keyboard war.

Why are you again explaining Asian politics using American history to a non American? Who’s even talking about America here?

I’m aware about the civil war, and I’m aware that since then Taiwan has been able to govern itself differently. In my visit I could clearly see it myself.

None of this makes it a part of PRC. American civil war is different in the sense that the Southern dream ended and they couldn’t organise themselves elsewhere.

China literally threatened Taiwan just before my visit with their vessels. Are you sure they are peaceful with protests?

Don’t you remember how several celebrities had to apologise after they supported Taiwan.

If status quo means they are independent which they very much appear to me, then isn’t that overwhelming majority support for letting it be the way it is, i.e. not ruled by PRC? If it is ruled by it, then why did PRC bring their vessels to threaten its own people just a month ago?

Lol the graph clearly shows lack in interest in unification, even “unification as soon as possible” dropped. Isn’t that enough sign that Taiwanese don’t want unification as of now?

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been there for 2 weeks and have spoken to people and they consider themselves as independent. There’s a lot of flags regarding independence around Taipei 101. Maybe they’re are all delusional, maybe they were lying to me? Whatever it is, I tend to support the small guy who is being bullied by the big one.

Keep your western politics on your side of the planet. Idk what’s with you all assuming everyone is an American

Why do you assume I’m from the west? I’ve actually been to Taiwan and it’s amazing. If you visit Taipei 101 you’ll regularly see people with flags for independence. If it truly was China, they’ll be jailed by now, but that doesn’t happen.

I try to be but I can’t ever compete with those who like to suck boots of bullies.

Taiwan is an amazing independent country with its own culture and currency.

Hmm. Would look for some documentaries on the same then.

Where will “I’ll attack them coz they attacked me coz I attacked them coz they attacked me…” finally lead to? Anything can be justified based on when you start looking at the history, and each new attack only fuels the next.

Why does it look like that then? Tananananana 🎵

It is what it is

If you love me meet me at first floor

Americans 😢 British 🤷‍♂️

Good things about problems is that there will always be more tomorrow.

CPU vs GPU tasks I suppose.

Usually on sofa or bed, so yeah I don’t see a problem.

My guess would be the efficiency of coal power plants (35%) and electricity transmission (90%) + battery charging of an EV (80%) would be more than efficiency of transporting oil in ships (50%) , then in an ICE truck (40%) to fuel pumps and then finally the efficiency of the ICE car (40%).

I picked the numbers from internet, but they seem plausible.
