Imagine instead of complete surrender the confederacy retreated and held Texas, and China was selling them advanced weaponry. That’s what this is
Well, not quite. It's more akin to if the union was pushed back and was limited to new-england.
The PRC is the confederate equivalent, as they weren't the original legal government unlike Taiwan, which legally is the heir of the ROC.
Also one of these states is an authoritarian piece of shit, and it's definitely not Taiwan.
Tell that to the indigenous people of Taiwan. I bet they'd love to hear about how they genocide was "non-authoritarian".
40-ish years of military dictatorship, but they made a 228 park so it's okay
