    If you’re aware of history, then how exactly is China not China? I must’ve missed a century somewhere

      Read up on the resolution of the Chinese Civil War and the (nominal) government-in-exile that is Taiwan

        At what point has enough time gone on before Taiwan is no longer a government in exile? Maybe 5-10 years, but that war ended in 1949. If you really think China and Taiwan should fight to death to determine who’s the true ruler than I think that’s pretty fucked up. Maybe you think the US should be a British colony again? Or maybe Ukraine should be part of Russia again? At this point the CCP has controlled China longer than the Kuomintang did, so I think that means they win.

          I think Taiwan should wait out authoritarian communism’s inevitable collapse and then come to the rescue with real solutions.

                Yup, China will inevitably transition into a democratic socialist state, ceding the means of production over to the people. Not turning into a capitalist Republic that’s controlled by wealthy oligarchs.
