John Cena makes a ton of money from China and so does the WWE. Not to mention the toys are made in China. Vince and Cena weren’t about to lose that manufacturing deal over some dumb shit.
Calling the Chinese mainland West Taiwan is like calling the northern US “The North Confederate States of America.” They lost a civil war and saying that is just silly. As for One China, that’s a current battle of internal politics. The current ruling democratic party supports cutting ties with China and joining the West. The nationalist party agrees that the mainland and China are one country. It’s not like it’s just China imposing it’s military might on Taiwan, it’s much more complicated than that.
I don’t do it because it’s accurate, but because it pisses off the CCP. About the same time as John Cena showed his lack of spine, I was forced to figure out how to remove the flag of Taiwan from software because just seeing that flag makes them butthurt. Just a tiny icon of a flag of a nation they don’t think is real.
That sort of vehement denial of reality is pathetic and hilarious, and I will continue to call them West Taiwan until they stop acting like whiny bitches. But in reality, they’ll attempt to invade and throw a generation of their children into a meat grinder in the Taiwan Strait because of their ridiculous nationalism.
And they didn’t resolve the civil war. If they had, the CCP wouldn’t have zero authority there. And they wouldn’t be complain so much about a flag.
I don’t think they’ll invade. I think they’re stalling until they can get their microchip tech up to speed and then they’ll turn Taiwan into the next Cuba and just embargo the fuck out of Taiwan. Invading would be incredibly stupid.
The Chinese government doesn’t know you exist. The Chinese people are theoretically banned from site like this and even if using a vpn, they are almost certainly accessing webpages made in the language they actually speak.
Maybe there are better ways to take a stand against the Chinese government. Ones which aren’t empty gestures.
That’s an insult to those who power through their periods with as much grace and professionalism as possible. A better insult would revolve around their skin deep policies and exceptionally thin skin.
Or maybe you could make fun of their lack of media savvy. They could have coopted the image of a fluffy, caring Winnie Pooh as a positive thing for Xi, but instead they ban all mention of it. Xi has little in common with Pooh, so most of the comedy comes from the censorship itself. It’s like how Obama killed the, “thanks Obama,” meme by using it, and how Democrats defused the Dark Brandon meme while Biden embraced it (he uses it too much at this point).
Remember when John Cena had to apologize to China for saying Taiwan was a country? It was about that time when I started refering to the mainland as West Taiwan.

Embargoing Taiwan won’t work, either, because they have solid trade relationships with many modern economies.
China accounts for a quarter of Taiwan’s trade. Not to mention how many countries would bail if an embargo happened

I know but it’s the thought that counts.
