When China no money Taiwan EXIST
But when China money Taiwan NOT exist
Hmm Taiwan was supposed to be "democratic" and beloved by westoids, no?
wait what? so they call ppl from china chinese now? its all 1984 again 😪
The risk is that other EU countries would adopt similar policies and create long-term problems for Taiwan and its 24 million citizens to freely determine their future.
More like create problems for the US to freely determine Taiwan's future
Serious question though, can it still count as self-determination? Afaik the pro-reunification/pro-PRC side has been suppressed for decades, especially at the start of the occupation, and Taiwan is constantly bombarded with anti-PRC propaganda, all thanks to the US
If we pretend history doesn't exist and we do what libs did e.g. in Gaza assuming it all started on Oct 7, then sure, people want to separate from the PRC, they should do it
But this ignores how they got into that position and what "independence" entails (becoming another Ukraine). You get pushed into a direction and then you're made to think you got there of your own accord
It also ignores that people in Taiwan generally support the status-quo of being an estranged province rather than totally independent, because they know the economic ramifications of antagonizing China are not successfully counterbalanced by the approval of westerners.
I cannot believe that I was born in the right time to see the incredibly rare and mythical Danish W.
This is an interesting development in relations with China, let's see what the free Western press is reporting!

Oh... Ok then.
That’s not the BBC, that’s BBC Manchester, or in other term, local news. They aren’t going to be writing articles on geopolitical tensions and China.
But do you think that Chinese news doesn’t do human interest or lighthearted articles?
Wouldn’t a better representation be a link to the front page? A random article about a person taking care of a hat bobble in Cheshire (while hilarious and did make me giggle), isn’t really breaking news international news.
Oh lmao, it just threw me for a loop because I was not expected a headline of “Woman thinks hat bobble is hedgehog” lmaoo
Sorry about that
All good! I just saw it in my feed and couldn't help thinking "wow that's a slow news day"
