    Lol Taiwan and China have both claimed to be the “real China” but Taiwan is just a small separatist holdover of a civil war that ended nearly 75 years ago. Since they can’t run the show, they’re trying to be a wedge for US imperialism in east Asia. The People of Taiwan are Chinese citizens and the US should stop encouraging them to go to war to destroy themselves and their country.

      How petty the mainland Chinese must be if they cannot move on from a small island after three quarters of a century.

        Petty is when your girlfriend keeps your favorite shirt after the breakup.

        Refusing to admit you lost a civil war 75 years ago and blowing up a major dam, killing 35 million people to stall unification is genocide.

          There is no law of the universe which says that a civil war must end in “unification.”

          It seems to me that the Taiwanese are moving on. Why can’t the mainland Chinese move on? Why do they let their former enemy still control themselves like this? Why do they let Taiwan hold this power over themselves? How can such a large, wealthy country of over a billion people be so obsessed with a small country of only twenty million?
