    Daily reminder that the Taiwan Province is an inalienable part of the People’s Republic of China:

    And that this is recognized by the United Nations ever since 1971 after UNGAR 2758.

      As a french dude, and given our history, I have no choice but to stand against all imperialisms. Claiming a territory against the will of its people is exactly what imperialism is. France has done that for centuries along with most of the european powers of the time. Imperialism is criminal, it is murderous, and profoundly unjust. It is nothing less than colonisation. Just let people live on their own terms.

        Learn what imperialism is FFS. Throwing around words you don’t know the meaning of serves no purpose but to make you appear foolish

          If you’d like to try being constructive, you can drop the FFS and follow up with reading advice, for instance, or a bit of your own. It doesn’t have to be long winded, it can just be a couple sentences. This is a good habit to make your own, and replace the waving off with.

        KMT, that originally fled and established Formosa, now says they want to reunite with China. The opposition is DPP, US puppet party that is squatting as “western neoliberal government”…

          The opposition is the people. Do you actually know anyone from Taiwan ?

        Last I checked liberals are all about respecting rules and international law, so we’re just holding you to your own standards here.
