‘We recognise China, and that Taiwan is part of China’ – Irish Prime Minister clarifies Ireland’s position ahead of Davos meetings

He is not technically wrong, as the Taiwanese themselves haven’t declared independence from China.

So they are not independent then. not even their staunchest ally (USA) recognizes their Independence, so I don’t see where is the controversy with Irish PM’s statement.

Was there a controversy?

Why is it even being posted here? Top comment seems to think it’s controversial. Lemmy users are like redditors in political awareness.

asteroidnova@lemmy.ml · 2 years ago

Well, yes. Redditors and Lemmy users are the same people.

frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml · 2 years ago

I posted it in /c/ireland 24 hours earlier and no controversy

I didn’t hear complaints in the domestic press.

Exactly? It’s completely uninteresting.
