    So the southern US is its own independent country right? The losing side of civil wars gets to keep “their” land? (Actually this is being too charitable to Taiwan, they actually invaded land and called it theirs)

        I mean yes, nationalists will be nationalists. I can also find a ton of confederates in the south of the US, flying the flag and everything. Here’s hoping she doesn’t have the same views on ethnicity as most nationalists do 😬

            You can just not respond lol. I knew you weren’t going to have anything worthwhile to say, but instead of turning tail and walking away like liberals usually do, you gotta waste time with reddit-tier turbo nerd responses. I just know you are familiar with the inside of a locker.

            Dutifully reciting DoD memos verbatim and then calling me a bootlicker lol

            And I hope you don’t actually lick as much taiwanese nationalist boot in real live as online

            That can’t be healthy

      The KMT and CPC are both from China. The vast vast majority of Taiwanese are not KMT from China nor any of their descendants.

        Unless you suggest that KMT is a nationality or ethnicity, 95-97% of Taiwan population is Han Chinese (mostly Hoklo and Hakka), and barely 2% are indigenous.
