It's *precisely because* there are in fact Two Chinas, the ROC 🇹🇼, and the PRC 🇨🇳, that they feel compelled to try to use all the leverage they have to create a piece of fiction that they can manipulate and enforce into a "reality" that they enjoy.
@fxtrader The Chinese government floods X search results with porn whenever there is political unrest—to prevent their citizens from finding out real-time information.
This has been a difficult problem to solve but we are aware & working on it.
Chinese old man goes on a rant in a group chat about how some people have been brainwashed to blame anything and everything on everyone and anyone as long as it's not the PRC 🇨🇳
The Chinese government is willing to use any form of coercion to compromise people, that's why their espionage operations are so dangerous.

Did another long all-over-the-place talk with Destiny (@TheOmniLiberal ), from China to Polisci to Andrew Tate to Israel...
My 2 episodes on Bridge Podcast were the only social events I had in the past year. Glad I still know how to interact with humans! https://t.co/orWbA1DY4u
He is President of the Republic of China 🇹🇼 whether you admit it or not. It is clear that you plainly adopt the worldview of the PRC 🇨🇳, misleading an international audience that is not familiar with the situation. You have not "decently clarified this matter", you have done the exact opposite and muddied the waters.
Your first error is calling it all China, as if it were all the same China. You were either intentionally misleading people, or ignorant of this which I don't think you are, so I guess it's the former. It was the Qing Dynasty, not the PRC 🇨🇳. The PRC 🇨🇳 didn't even exist.
Taiwan has been the home to the Austronesian people for *THOUSANDS* of years, since around 4,000 B.C.E., before any Han Chinese people started to migrate, and before any previous Chinese Dynasty tried to colonize it.
The Qing Empire also never successfully colonized Taiwan, they only administered a fraction of Taiwan, and even then the people rebelled against the Qing, regularly. Most of the more than 100 rebellions during the Qing period, such as the Lin Shuangwen rebellion, were caused by Han settlers. Their frequency was evoked by the common saying "every three years an uprising, every five years a rebellion" (三年一反、五年一亂).
The Qing also expressed how uninterested and unimportant Taiwan was to the Qing Empire; Taiwan was officially regarded by Kangxi as "a ball of mud beyond the pale of civilization" and did not appear on any map of the imperial domain until 1683. The Qing court initially viewed Taiwan as a remote and difficult-to-govern territory. There were discussions within the Qing court about the possibility of abandoning Taiwan altogether, as it was seen as a burden. They even almost "gave" (it wasn't theirs to give) Taiwan to the French!
And here again you cunningly don't specify that right before, during, and after WW2 it was the Republic of China 🇹🇼, not the Qing Empire, and obviously not the PRC 🇨🇳 as they didn't even exist yet, but I'm sure you'll skillfully "neglect" to mention that to mislead the international audience too. In fact, it was the communists that **took advantage** of the Japanese, letting the nationalists take the brunt of the invasion and the casualties, that allowed the communists to take over and **declare independence** , seceded like the Confederacy (who also believed in forced labour) from the Union. When the Japanese tried to apologize to Mao, Mao responded, "Apologize?! We haven't even thanked you yet! If it wasn't for you, (raping and killing millions of Chinese people), we never would have been able to take over!" This man then led to the deaths of up to 80 million dead Chinese people, more than any of the countries responsible for the Century of Humiliation COMBINED, including the Japanese death toll of up to 20 million. If any European leader led to the deaths of 80 million of their own people, they would've beheaded them like they did Louis XVI. Or do you think that 1 Chinese life is worth less than 1 European life? The foundation of the PRC 🇨🇳 is disrespecting and destroying Chinese culture, leading to widespread destruction of ancient Chinese cultural artifacts, religious sites, and historic buildings. Many temples, monuments, and works of art were vandalized or destroyed, and traditional practices were often suppressed. Priceless ancient Chinese artifacts, books, and scrolls destroyed, the contents of which we'll never know now. The original Chinese government, the Republic of China had to take what they could to Taiwan to protect the rest, otherwise who knows how much more destruction of Chinese heritage the PRC 🇨🇳 would have destroyed.
And this is the man the PRC 🇨🇳 chooses to put on their money and whose portrait they still put on public display on their capital city 🤦🏻♂️ The PRC 🇨🇳 isn't Chinese, they are the ungrateful, spoiled, half Russian nephew of the ROC 🇹🇼.
