    You keep saying that you do, but clearly you don’t. Alternatively, you don’t understand the history of the province, and the civil war in China. In either case, what you’re saying is deeply ignorant.

      Another comment with zero substance.

      You claiming that forcibly taking over control of another’s land isn’t “colonialism” is like saying “enhanced interrogation” isn’t torture.

      Funny how you can keep replying about what others “don’t understand,” but you can’t put together an actual defense of your position. It’s almost as if you know I’m 100% accurate, so you’d rather spin the discussion away from your indefensible position with insults and fallacies.

        Taiwan is literally part of China as recognized by UN. The actual colonialism happening in Taiwan is what US has been doing there since WW2. I can’t decide whether you’re just woefully ignorant or just a liar.

          The actual colonialism happening in Taiwan is what US has been doing there since WW2.

          So the US is still colonizing Taiwan? How did they even “colonize” Taiwan?

            Go read up on some history and learn a bit about history of what US has been doing in Taiwan instead of making a 🤡 of yourself in public.

                The fact that you can’t even figure out how to google basic publicly available information explains quite a bit about your comment history.

                  I know you cant back up your claims. You are just here to stir up drama.

                    I see you’ve made a self referential comment.

                  Nope. Stop there.

                  You keep telling other people to do the research and make an argument to you. But you will not do it yourself.

                  It’s a troll move and you have to stop. All you are doing is alienating people. I’ve begun to wonder if that’s what you’re here to do.

                    I provide sources for what I say all the time when I say something that’s not necessarily obvious. In this particular case, I’m stating a well documented fact that anybody can google. The troll move here is to claim that I said something controversial, demand evidence, and then to make personal smear attacks against me. Which is what you and your buddy are doing.

                    That said, here are some materials that you will never bother reading, but might help other people reading the thread understand who the actual troll here is.

                    US interference in Taiwan politics and media is very well documented. US has poured countless millions into shaping the opinions of the people in Taiwan through orgs like NED, it directly grooms US politicians such as Tsai Ing-Wen, and that’s literally what colonialism and cultural hegemony are.

          Is this the same UN that recognized Palestinian territory as Israeli?

            Imagine trying to paint parallels between Taiwan and Palestine. 🤦
