I also dont appreciate the notion that the people of Taiwan just have no free will and are all brainwashed. That's a very lazy approach anyone can take against anyone they think has the wrong opinion. You can pull up any material from western sources supporting Taiwan and call it proof of manipulation. And I can point to China posturing its military against Taiwans will outside its waters for daring to have a US official visit them as intimidation to manipulate their opinions. Taiwan has been exposed to both sides, and this is what they want.
If Taiwan were China why do mainland Chinese need a passport to go there?
It's like saying north and south Korea are the same country because, historically, they used to be the same country.
They're not the same country.
Korea is one nation, though there are two governments. Same deal for China. Eventually both will reunify.
Why
Why what?
Why would north and south Korea try to reunite?
