China is very vocal about taiwan being theirs.

Edit: Insane how much this this one factual statement has been interpreted.

Imagine if China went crazy and started claiming territory. Oh wait Tibet, South China Sea, Taiwan....

That's typical modern empire behavior. Claiming land entire fucking ocean accross is still colonization shit. Don't get me started on US companies establishing literal slavery overseas.

  • Tibet has been part of China for several centuries.
  • So weird that China would claim territory off its own southern coast in a sea named after it.
  • Taiwan is already part of China, as even the Taiwanese will tell you.

  • Tibetans were invaded by force, displaced, hate China and want their country back.
  • The South China Sea is south of China, not part of China. Many other nations draw important food and income from the area and China is kicking them out to starve. Please do a google search at least before spreading assumptions.
  • Taiwan claims to be an independent nation ready to resist China, so I'd love to know which Taiwanese say that.

So why the love for China anyway? What's your background here?
