    Texas is a country. Now imagine $40 billion a year of various media and disinfo agents repeating that ad nauseum in every place they can literally all the time for nearly 50 years now, all so China can’t take revenge against Japan.

    You’d get annoyed and probably ban it since that’s the easiest way to get your enemy to waste money forever.

    Taipei is an autonomous region, like Xinjiang or Tibet. As long as they don’t grossly violate federal law they get to stay autonomous.

          (Yes, but since you clearly have the brain capacity of a toddler I guess I will be more direct.) What do you gain from oppressing Taiwan?

            How is Texas oppressed by being a state?

            As far as Taipei, it’s not oppressed, the opposite. It’s allowed to control itself under the guidance of the government, as it always has. That’s the definition of an autonomous region.

              Texas: They aren’t even allowed to get basic healthcare there, or have a gender.

              Taiwan: sure, that’s why literally nobody complains about CCP presence….oh wait. Are you usually in the habit of denying reality and ignoring your own eyes?

                For Texas, that’s their choice. They actively choose that, and have the freedom to do so. The US isn’t making them. They aren’t oppressed.

                As far as Taipei, in any group of people you’ll always have some people complaining about something. There are fewer people pushing for an independent Taiwan than there is pushing for an independent Texas.

                  Texas is willingly part of the USA.

                  Any real secessionist movement is a farce.

                  Taiwan on the other hand is not part of China, it’s a nation of its own and has as much claim to mainland China as the mainland does to Taiwan.

                  Taiwan being a democracy makes it the easy choice.

                  Tibet should be free too, but unfortunately doesn’t have the backing of Nuclear Powers to keep it so.

                    So you understand that the secessionist movement in Texas is a farce that never has majority support but despite that also being the case in Taiwan you don’t believe it?

                    The independence party in Taiwan’s local government never gets anywhere and has never had majority support. The current Taiwanese government does not support independence.

                    Also no. The last time Tibet was free that had institutionalized child sex slaves for members of their theocratic government. Those monsters should never be in power again, and now that their former slaves are free and members of a country that treats them equally, they agree.

                    It’s just former aristocrats that again owned child sex slaves, like the dalai lama, that think tibet should be “free”. But I guess it’s only natural people from the country with no law against child marriages would support Tibets return to their old society.

      This is the biggest crock of shit ever. Go to Taiwan, experience it for yourself. Go to their museums and talk to their people. You will find a democratic nation with its own values and beliefs. Then take your ignorant ass over to Texas and repeat the same drivel you said here and see what happens.

              They also have more concentration erh, I mean, re-education camps. For now, at least.

                Not really. Again according to the UN report nothing China has done is special compared to just normal American prisons. Except fewer uighurs as a percentage of their population were ever imprisoned than just black men as a percentage of the total black population.

                If what you believe happened in Xinjiang is genocide, America is currently commiting genocide on twice the scale for the past 120 years.

                  I’d love to see that UN report. Please link it, or at least copy-paste the section comparing the two. I want to see how they sterilize and how they steal organs from Americans.

                    No UN report has ever found sterilization or organ harvesting happening in Xinjiang. Ever. At literally any point. There were unsubstantiated claims of that from the same people saying the suicide bombers were justified.
