  1. Brace yourselves – that’s the sound of endless Xi-bots sprinting here to lecture us on how a majority of people in one extremely limited poll don’t 100% agree with the slovenian leaderships stances

  2. Incredible that so many European countries have so far bowed to China’s aggressive one nation policy, just to safeguard some polluting international trade of cheap plastic fake products. They even let Hong Kong’s democracy die for just a few cents.

  3. I mean no one says eu countries don’t have the right to recognize whoever they want. Just don’t complain about economic consequences

  4. A total of 15, yes fifteen states worldwide recognize Taiwan as an independent nation:

    Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, the Holy See, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Nicaragua, Palau, Paraguay, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Swaziland and Tuvalu.

    Opening a trade office does not change anything. If Slovenia thinks Taiwan is a country, they should recognize them as such, otherwise it’s just empty talk.

  5. Does Taiwan even want official recognition yet? They may not be ready for the heat it would bring from China. It seems they want to maintain the status quo for the time being.

    When Taiwan officially requests recognition as an independent nation—and I don’t doubt they will at some point—I’m sure many nations beyond the odd small country would quickly oblige. It will certainly be a telling moment when the prominent national powers are put on the spot.

  6. Just a heads up about the office, it will cause fewer issues if you name it “Trade office of the eternal drip island” rather than the use of the island or people living on that island, names

  7. Snowball effect anyone? It honestly wouldn’t be a surprise if the other two countries of baltic considers doing the same thing as well and before long, China will be taken in by surprise!
