The best part about it is that almost no US tech would work without Taiwan's chips

Oh and that China somehow did not get angry at that publicly as of yet, very weird

At this point in time, China is just sitting back and laughing as Trump weaken the US.

Remember, don't correct an enemy as they are making a mistake.

For all it's flaws, the TPP was about to effectively zone China out of trading advantageously with the whole developed world. Now, US instability and bullying have made Japan and South Korea partner with China.

Trump is handing China the 21st century on a silver platter.

Imagine being such a clown that Japan, China and SKorea unite against you lmao

He also listed uninhabited Australian islands and a US military base on an otherwise uninhabited UK island as separate countries. So I would guess China decided that the country list is basically meaningless.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That's because the DOGE morons used TLD codes to make the list.

I said that in a thread the first day felon 47 showed us that .

I said this "New headline. Trump tariffs confirm Taiwan sovereignty."

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He had some things like that his first term too. I'm pretty sure he does just to piss China off. He's not really interested in helping Taiwan.

Doesn't mean anything. If PRC ever invades, he'll ditch Taiwan just like he's ditching Ukraine right now.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Taiwan could invade PRC and he'd only have a minimal idea of what's going on.

Yep, because Taiwan is a country, and the real China.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (16 children)

I thought Taiwan was an independent country?

Occupied mainland Taiwan

[–] [email protected] -3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's kinda like if the Confederacy, upon losing the Civil War, fled and occupied Cuba, and was propped up millitarily by, say, the UK as a millitary foothold to keep the US in check back when the UK still had Imperialist chops, then saying the Confederate-occupied Cuba is the real US.

The fact is, the Communists and Nationalists had a 2 decade long civil war, and the Communists won against the Nationalists, who then fled to Taiwan, where the Nationalists have maintained that they are the legitimate government of China.

As with any revolution, such as the French, American, Vietnamese, Russian, Cuban, etc, I don't think it makes much sense to declare the French Monarchy, British Empire, French Colonialists, Russian Tsarists, or fascist Batista regime the "rightful" rulers of the countries the people themselves overthrew, and that extends to China.

As for Taiwanese people, the overwhelming majority support maintaining the status quo, with few wanting hard independence or reconcilliation. This may change now that the US is pivoting away from them as well, but both the PRC and ROC seem to be content to maintain the uneasy status quo for the time being. War would be devastating for Taiwan in particular.

4 paragraphs of response... Is this a bot response? Or did you just take my comment way too serious?

Putting tariffs on Taiwan is the first step to making them reconcile with China.

Cambodia at 97% highlights how fucking moronic this all is. Let me reindustrialize the economy by cutting off our raw inputs.
