Daily reminder that the Taiwan Province is an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China:
And that this is recognized by the United Nations ever since 1971 after UNGAR 2758.

As a french dude, and given our history, I have no choice but to stand against all imperialisms. Claiming a territory against the will of its people is exactly what imperialism is. France has done that for centuries along with most of the european powers of the time. Imperialism is criminal, it is murderous, and profoundly unjust. It is nothing less than colonisation. Just let people live on their own terms.
Learn what imperialism is FFS. Throwing around words you don’t know the meaning of serves no purpose but to make you appear foolish
If you'd like to try being constructive, you can drop the FFS and follow up with reading advice, for instance, or a bit of your own. It doesn't have to be long winded, it can just be a couple sentences. This is a good habit to make your own, and replace the waving off with.
Imperalism by Lenin as has already been recomended for starters
"well if the UN is saying it"
~lemmygrad, when its useful
Last I checked liberals are all about respecting rules and international law, so we're just holding you to your own standards here.
I'm not obligated to respect laws when the laws don't respect human rights. Slavery was legal at once point. The holocaust was legal at one point. Was I ever obligated to respect those laws?
Good thing China has a far better human rights record than the west.
It really doesn't unless you believe the state media that's allowed to come out of it. Even then, they publicly reject any lgbt type content.
Calling it “vulgar, immoral and unhealthy content”.
Even going so far as to jail a women for 10 years for producing BL content.
There's really no reason to believe western oligarch owned media over Chinese state media. Of course, western propagandists rely on people such as yourself being already primed to believe the worst possible things about China making their work pretty easy.
The second article is AnimeNewsNetwork and they link to Chinese owned media.
The second article links to Malaysian media.
Never, ever have I thought I'd see the words "台灣是中國神聖不可分割的一部分" in English being used unironically.
So...you thought sharing a common language precluded having differing opinions? That's kinda astonishing, ngl
To be honest I never thought I'd see those words even in Chinese being used unironically either.
You thought no Chinese people supported the One China Policy? Seriously?
I'm sure a lot do. I just don't expect to see them in my day-to-day life.
Your day-to-day life...on the massive globally interconnected computer network shared by everyone worldwide who has the means to connect to it? You didn't expect to see an opinion held by well over 1 billion people on that network, ever?
Seems like you haven’t met very many people
