China is one country but they got two governments
DPP Lai's win in Taiwan's 🇹🇼 presidential contest
is a big win for the Taiwanese people and a huge loss of face for the Chinese regime.
why is splitting chinese territory punishable?
It doesn't matter how many times the Chinese regime repeats the lies,
or how angry it pretends to be,
– Taiwan 🇹🇼 is still an independent nation.
Us propaganda
It was the CCP that split China when it created the Chinese Soviet Republic. Now it's too late to cry.
Yeah, just like China praises North Korean democracy 😂
The resources of the USA are currently split between the Ukraine, Israel and now their fight against Houthi’s. We see already theirs division between Americans for helping any longer Ukraine. The USA is only waiting until chip production of tsmc are finalised. After they will let Taiwan alone. Since its a conflict they cannot win logistically
Taiwan is the real China. CCP needs to deal with the facts.
How long before progressives start protesting against Taiwan?
🇹🇼 Taiwan is an independent country. 🇺🇸🤝🇹🇼
Asian powers such as Japan and South Korea should make their position clear on the China-Taiwan issue.
In the 2020 Taiwan election, 38% voted for peace. In the 2024 election, 60% voted for peace. There is a trend forming.
The US Foreign Policy to keep Asia poor and divided as stated in a top-secret U.S. Foreign Policy document written 76 years ago is still in force.
February 24, 1948, Declassified U.S. Foreign Policy:
Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. … that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time.
Taiwan was added to the Pacific security system after Chiang's army retreated to the island of Taiwan in 1949. South Korea was added after the Korean War in 1953. The attempt with Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was abandoned in 1975.
Taiwan respect rule of law? Ridiculous. Taiwan even ignores its current constitution, the fundation of all laws
Did they congratulate. The legislature 😂
Chinese Foreign Minister :"Voters trying to steal China's territory Taiwan from 1.4 Billion Chinese." 🥴😵😵💫
They congratulate you but don’t expect they have official diplomatic relations lmao 🤣
They don’t support Taiwan’s independence——- Biden says it
