You do understand the history right? The US chose to back the KMT on Taiwan, sort of like if England had decided to back the Confederates if they hold up in Florida. Except the KMT on Taiwan never seceded. In fact, they organized a fascist dictatorship on the island and they imprisoned and killed anyone who wanted to reunify with the mainland, and they also imprisoned and killed anyone who wanted to secede. The US was supporting them throughout the entire 4 decades of the White Terror wherein the government in Taiwan explicitly stated they were not a separate nation.
In fact, a bunch of Chinese people from Taiwan who fled to the US or Japan tried to build secessionary movements in exile and the KMT on Taiwan chased them down with spies and assassins to stop them.
Just because the US carries on the age old tradition of white European empires trying to pull pieces of China way from China doesn’t mean Taiwan isn’t part of China.
I do understand history, thanks. I mean, if you wanted to make the comparison, you got it backwards. And saying Taiwan imprisoned and killed a bunch of people for disagreeing seems to just be part of how China functions then, because mainland Taiwan has done the exact same thing lol.
It’s literally never been a country in its entire history. It is a province of China, it is recognized internationally as a province of China. No one has ever recognized it as a separate country. It doesn’t have any legal standing as a separate country. It doesn’t claim to be a separate country. And anyone in Taiwan that tried to claim it was a separate country was killed by the leadership of Taiwan for 40 years, and anyone from Taiwan that left and tried to claim it was a separate country was a target of the government on Taiwan to silence them from trying to say Taiwan was a separate country.
The only people who think Taiwan is a separate country are Westerners trying to justify why the US should have lethal military force installed and ready 4 miles off the coast of mainland China.
Nah dawg, maybe some of the people think that. Most of think that China just needs to fuck off. It is a country, it checks all the boxes required. I just don’t like the taste of boot leather
If you don’t like the taste of boot leather, why are you supporting the idea that the US military should be allowed to deployed military assets to threaten China, including stationing troops just off the coast of the mainland, in the same program of the US supporting a brutal military dictatorship for 40 years that killed and tortured people just for saying they think the civil war should end and the KMT should just surrender?
Or are you a fan of the Confederates and believe the South should rise again?
Oh the mental gymnastics, no not liking boot leather means not liking boot leather. Chinese or otherwise. I like countries living in peace. Taiwan wants to be alone then they should be. Why is it ok for China to threaten others but not the us? Why the double standards?
The CPC has literally stated, for 70 years, unchanging, that they recognize that the country needs healing, not violence, and that the only way they want Taiwan to be reintegrated is peacefully. The only statements they have ever issued, for 7 decades, about violence is that they will respond to any attempt to create the conditions for an existential military threat. The conflict between the losers of the civil war and the winners of the civil war has consistently been an internal conflict that the CPC fundamentally understands as something that must be resolved through peace and dialog. It is the US that has decided that Taiwan should be an unsinkable aircraft carrier, a staging area of US missiles, and part of the USA’s Pacific Kill Chain.
China has NEVER threatened military violence against the people of Taiwan. They have only ever demonstrated their military readiness to fight against US and European military build up in the province. Which of course has a long history, that you are probably aware of but can’t integrate into your worldview because you are smothered in Yellow Peril propaganda.
China hasn’t dropped a bomb in a conflict since 1989 - that’s 37 years. Meanwhile the US continues to say that they must “contain the threat of China” and they are building alliances in the region to “address the threat of China” while they literally destroy entire countries and commit acts of terror and war crimes wherever and whenever they want.
There is no double standard. There is one standard. The US is a mass murdering global beligerent. China is not. Defending against the USA is not the same as developing a kill chain to threaten China on the other side of the world. If China was doing the same things the USA was doing, then I would have a double standard. But China is not deploying missile systems and building air bases and barracks on Cuba. It’s not building military alliances with Canada and Mexico, or building a proxy state in Quebec. It’s not sending entire carrier groups to patrol the Gulf of Mexico.
There is no double standard here. China is the target of USA aggression. Framing China’s defensive build up and readiness as somehow equivalent is the same thing as saying that slaves slowly gathering an arsenal of weapons and building escape routes is the same thing as slave owners building an arsenal of weapons and building relationships with slave catchers.

Given that Taiwan has never existed as a country, your position that the two bodies are part of the same country is aligned with my position
Given that you’re wrong, and that Taiwan is a country, no. Just because its not recognized by the un doesn’t make it not a country lol
