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?
It literally has always been part of the nation-state of China. Literally the only thing that allowed the losers of the civil war to create a separatist society is UK/USA intervention, and they intervened because they knew the Red Army would support China’s independence from Western hegemony and that the KMT did and would support Western hegemony. Taiwan exists as a separate entity because Europe is using it as a proxy.
Do you realize how close China is to Taiwan? China doing military exercises on the mainland is within striking distance of Taiwan. It is not violent for China to exercise in its own territory. The show of force is intended for the USA, you know, that state who was literally publishing military strategy about using Taiwan to complete its Pacific Kill Chain?
Your vibes don’t really matter. Nor do the vibes you get when celebrities apologized for supporting a formerly-fascist currently-vassal community that exists primarily as a means to maintain Western hegemony over the region and particularly over the people and resources of China - a nation-state that includes the island of Taiwan.
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.

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