          the opposite of US imperialism is not Chinese imperialism, it’s zero imperialism. But idk why I’m explaining this you don’t seem like the type to understand anything that isn’t a Disney/Marvel flavored good guy bad guy storyline

            Except China isn’t doing imperialism as anybody who’s not an ignoramus guzzling US propaganda would know.

              If the Taiwanese people wish to be independent then they are. If they don’t then they aren’t. Simple as.

              Literally nothing you do, say, or feel will change that, because it doesn’t concern you at all. No offense but you’re kinda just some powerless angry loser, which exist by the billions on this planet already

                Polling in Taiwan shows that your statement is false. Simple as that.

                The overwhelming majority of people in Taiwan want to maintain the status quo. The desire for Taiwanese independence has experienced a significant drop over the past three years, with only 25.3% of people who want to “move toward independence” or seeking “independence as soon as possible” - down from nearly one-third - 32.4% - in 2020.

                What’s more, that’s despite US interference in Taiwan politics and media which 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. This is what’s known as cultural hegemony.

                  Lol the graph clearly shows lack in interest in unification, even “unification as soon as possible” dropped. Isn’t that enough sign that Taiwanese don’t want unification as of now?

                    The graph clearly shows that vast majority of people are against independence. I see reading comprehension is not your strong point.

            You don’t have to be American to be a victim of US propaganda. US media completely dominates all of the vassal states as well.

        Why do you assume I’m from the west? I’ve actually been to Taiwan and it’s amazing. If you visit Taipei 101 you’ll regularly see people with flags for independence. If it truly was China, they’ll be jailed by now, but that doesn’t happen.
