Most Taiwanese aren’t this deluded. I spent a couple years in Taipei and views on China are more nuanced than the ones lurking Reddit and Twitter would have you believe.
I don’t think .ost of them think Taiwan wants the mainland back. In America, I think most of them don’t even get that it is nominally a “government in exile”. It’s like they think it’s still Formosa and the PRC is just terrorizing an indigenous population off of its coast.
ime this is correct, to most westerners Taiwan is just a generic people yearning to be free from China’s yoke. they don’t know or care to know about any of the history involved

Sorry but since it’s a democracy I have no choice but to blame all voters for the cringe of their leaders
99% of westerners still think Taiwan wants to take back the mainland while at the same time being independent lol

also love the deafening silence about the treatment of Taiwanese Aboriginals lol
average westoid has no idea those people even exist
Most Hong Kongese or Taiwanese are apolitical at best and pragmatic in regards to China.
The economy is so interlinked that a lot of Taiwanese nationals has business dealings in the mainland
Lurking Lemmy too. Well not really lurking. Is randint still malding? I have him blocked.
