Yeah, bad shit like lifting millions out of abject poverty, passing the hump on emissions, producing 80 percent of the world's solar, focusing on mutual economic benefit instead of imperialism like the NATO bloc, etc etc
Your info is out of date, now the cia is pushing "cultural genocide" because "genocide" was remarkably uncredible. Remember the delegations of Muslim countries to the region?
Hong Kong was a British colony that is part of mainland China. They're Chinese. Integrating them into the wider system is a step in erasing the legacy of colonialism in China.
Literally name a country that doesn't do this lol. Here in the US local police have off the books torture and indefinite detention facilities
"They're Chinese" sounds a great way to "liberate" the people's of Taiwan, Bhutan and Singapore from their current democratic shackles.
taiwan is literally chinese, they say they are china. stop inserting your opinion on geopolitics when you havent even read the country's wikipedia page. can you even point it out on a map?
Oh you are challenging the wrong person on this one bub. Can you point out Grenada? How about Marshall Islands? Nauru? Kiribati (pronounced like Gilbert’s), Comoros? How about where Japan ends and Russia begins?
Sun Tzu says don’t underestimate your opponent. Pretty sound advice.
The people of Taiwan disagree with your sentiment. Some think that the ROC is the true government of China, others think that Taiwan and China are now two separate countries, but, go figure, officially saying so would instigate a hostile reaction from the PRC.
So it seems that they’re under a bit of duress to acquiesce to the PRC line, no?
Oh no! Not the DPP party line!
The DPP, known as the government where MPs steal bills they don't want passed. Yay.
ROC is 'Republic of China'. That means they think they are Chinese. USE YOUR BRAIN
You have an interesting way of seeing the world - strict names claim geography ideology.
So by your definition, which Congo is the real Congo? Or should the US own all of the Americas? Or perhaps the reverse, China gives up Tibet and Inner Mongolia then? Or maybe we should extrapolate to the absurd, all lands named after saints are now owned by the Vatican?
