glory to the ccp /s
Hopefully this is sarcasm
It's kind of sad that people can't take such things as sarcasm without me explicitly stating that it is.
On a website where one of the largest domains is chock full of tankies you’d be surprised.
Fair.
Jsyk any self-respecting tankie would have said cpc bc that's the actual English acronym translation ig (communist party of China) I'm not entirely sure abt this tho as I only really remember it from arguing with one of them.
Taiwan has urged its citizens to “avoid non-essential travel” to the mainland as well as Hong Kong and Macau after China unveiled guidelines in June detailing criminal punishments for what Beijing described as diehard “Taiwan independence” separatists.
I'm surprised that hasn't always been the recommendation—it isn't like Taiwan has had a good relationship with China since the establishment of the two countries' current governmental setups.
Their relationship had been kind of good until recently as there has been an uptick in dissatisfaction on the status quo of Taiwan's political status (unspoken independence) — mostly on China's side, but also from some Taiwanese.
They remain important trading partners for each other, though.
The western world has a very black and white view of the conflict. The Taiwanese/Chinese view it in a much more complicated way that's a bit hard to grasp as a westerner.
