    Well the thing is Taiwan’s official name is the Republic of China and they, just like the People’s Republic of China, consider themselves to be China. Officially it is a reunification (by force if necessary) of the two China’s. Its not like North and South Korea where they are officially separate countries because they both consider themselves to be one country. It’s a complicated situation from a civil war and colonization from Japan.

      Tell you what’s really hilarious is listening to Chinese (mainland Chinese, any province) completely lose their shit and turn into a rabid psychopath driveling screaming moron as soon as anyone says “Taiwan number one!”.

      They act like it’s the most offensive possible thing that can be said apart from Xi looking like Winnie the Pooh…because he does of course.

      “consider themselves to be China”

      “reunification (by force if necessary)”

      Your own statement conflicts itself. If Taiwan considers itself part of China, why would force be necessary?

      Taiwan doesn’t consider itself to be a country? Taiwan seems to disagree with that.

      This post is full of dumb.
