It’s so fucking evil how Western media ignores how and why “Taiwan” exists. They don’t even call it by it’s own name, the RoC. It’s a deliberate framing to make it look like the PRC just wants to “invade” just because muh evil commies.
I think it’s quite a good thing, actually. It makes it very easy to undermine the propaganda, when you expose why a situation exists in the first place to someone spouting said propaganda without knowing the history. Same goes like double for Korea.
It’s especially funny the way all the geopolitics for toddlers explainers switch between “Taiwan is the most important part of all of this and linchpin of the first island chain” and “Look at all the claims on the South China Sea, the PRC’s one is evil and greedy. Why didn’t we draw Taiwan’s claim on the map too? No reason.”
