As a Taiwanese, this is true; white ppl love to patronise and speak for us like they know when in actuality they just want to see Asians fighting and dying
A lot of "pro-Taiwan" whitoids purport to speak for the Chinese people of Taiwan but don't ever listen to actual Taiwanese voices because you like the sound of your own voice more than you care for the Taiwanese people themselves.
This is and has always been the official position of the Republic of China and has never changed despite separatist protestations.
Taiwan is indeed a part of China under ROC administration. Taiwan and the ROC are not identical to each other. Taiwan is only a part of the ROC which includes all of mainland China. There is not two China but only one China with two different interpretations (PRC vs ROC). The Chinese Civil War is an unresolved conflict whose outcome is to be decided solely by the brotherly peoples on both sides of the Strait without outside interference or input:
"The constitutional capital of the Republic of China is Nanking, in central China. During one period of the Sino-Japanese War, the central government of the ROC moved its capital from Nanking to Chungking, in Szechwan Province. But when the war with Japan ended in 1945, it moved back to Nanking. After the Chinese Communists' usurpation of the China mainland in 1949, the central government of the ROC moved from Nanking to Taipei, Taiwan, where it continues to operate today.
Taiwan is a large island 100 miles southeast of the Fukien coast of the Chinese mainland. There are three separate political areas located on Taiwan: Taiwan Province, Taipei Municipality and Kaohsiung Municipality*. The Taipei and Kaohsiung municipalities are special districts (similar to Washinglon D.C.) under the direct administration of the central government. The provincial seat of Taiwan Province, formerly in Taipei, was moved to Nantou county, central Taiwan, in 1957.
The central government of the Republic of China governs not only Taiwan Province, Taipei Municipality and Kaohsiung Municipality, but also island groups belonging to Fukien Province (Quemoy and Matsu) and the Spratly and Pratas Island chains in the South China Sea.
Contrary to common (though incorrect) usage, there is no country bearing the name "Taiwan," which refers only to the island, a province of the ROC, and has no other geographical or political identity. The people on Taiwan and other territories under the control of the ROC are all Chinese. Residents of Taiwan migrated from the various provinces of the Chinese mainland over the course of some three hundred years, beginning in the mid-17th century.
Migrants to Taiwan who were born in Fukien Province on the mainland still call themselves "Fukienese," migrants from Canton are still known as "Cantonese" and so on throughout all the provinces of China. According to Chinese family tradition, children have the same provincial or ethnic derivation as their parents, regardless of where the children are born. For example, a child born to Fukienese parents living in Taipei is not "Taiwanese;" he or she is still "Fukienese." A child born to Hunanese parents who reside in southern Taiwan is also Hunanese, and so on. The natives of Quemoy and Matsu are Fukienese in origin, because the islands are part of Fukien Province. Only those persons born to families that have been in Taiwan for generations are known as Taiwanese.
Consequently, it is inaccurate to speak of the people of Free China as being "Taiwanese" only. Free China is a melting pot of many different ethnic and provincial Chinese groups, all of which naturally have their ancestral roots in mainland China. Therefore, in a broader cultural, national and ethnic sense, the people of the ROC are all Chinese - just as Texans and New Yorkers fall under the broader term "Americans."
- 'ROC' and 'Chinese,' if you please...
@bobWaltzer What’s your point? The fact that I’m in Australia and not advocating for war is in stark contrast to the Taiwanese who live in America and outright call for war.
Logic really isn’t your strong point is it?
@Jak7sois The irony is that she probably married a foreigner in the hopes of escaping her filial obligations, only to end up performing those obligations for an alien culture that will not reciprocate as per Confucian tradition. Those white boomer parents are most likely gonna spend it all
Another huge fundamental difference is, Chinese openly said that their religious doctrines were man-made. They're not Tian's commandments, just humans observing nature and coming up with theories explaining Tian's preferences. Almost like science
@Boochibooch lol you white “males” have the benefit of years of Hollywood propaganda and the first world wealth and living standards; if you can’t get pussy even with all of those assists, I got news for you pal: you’re a loser, with shit genes that nature has decided shouldn’t continue
Multiculturalism rarely works out.
I have observed similar situations overseas; Hard working Asian parents, setting up life in a tough neighborhood, only get to their well behaving children into dangerous situations like these.
@loong_of The U.S. sent military and bases to steal Syrian oil and enforced a no fly zone over the areas where it was pumping out stolen Syrian oil. Why shouldn’t China do the same in Australia?
Atlassian's revenue: $1.79 billion last quarter
Atlassian's move: fire the engineer who built their infrastructure
his move: post a 38-minute breakdown of every system he built, free for anyone to copy
what he revealed:
> Envoy proxy instead of enterprise load balancers
> sidecar architecture for auth, logging, rate limits
> DynamoDB + SQS for async provisioning
> Packer + SaltStack for automated VM deployments at scale
Atlassian charges per employee across 350,000 customers
this guy just handed you the enterprise playbook for free
save this
Anyone who’s ever had to work an Indian could’ve told you the same thing yet apparently they’re supposedly imported under the belief that they’re somehow equal to a Chinese AI engineer
@morris_que14 It’s because they identify most with the violence and cruelty; most American rightoids are the bullied school shooter types, think Stephen miller, and they fantasize about being able to bully others
