Is that what the majority of people who live there would say?
diablexical
Sounds independent to me. Forget your pedantic nonsense.
As does Taiwan to me, and right back at you comrade.
de facto huh. What does that mean in practice?
You sorta have to win the war to declare independence.
So mainland China is not independent then?
Where do they live again?
A June 2013 poll conducted by DPP showed an overwhelming 77.6% consider themselves as Taiwanese.[140] On the independence-unification issue, the survey found that 25.9 percent said they support unification, 59 percent support independence, and 10.3 percent prefer the "status quo." When asked whether Taiwan and China are parts of one country, the party said the survey found 78.4 percent disagree, while 15 percent agreed. As for whether Taiwan and China are two districts in one country, 70.6 percent disagree, while 22.8 percent agree
Taiwan #1
What would you call the annexed regions if not conquered? “Liberated”? Get a grip
Oo, now share the one of a Russian beheading a live Ukrainian soldier on camera.
What about the disenfranchised caused by first past the post? It’s arguably more representative even if some are partially disenfranchised.
Its a monetization approach, same motives as what youtube does here with the ads so doubt itll ever go away.
They show up in other communities though, when I see a low effort/meme shitpost and check the user it seems the majority are coming from there.
I agree the polling is a bit different, I don't think it contradicts the DPP study though. Setting aside the question of national identity (not addressed in the NCU study) vs national policy goals, NCU went 32/28/21 for status quo maintain/decide later/move toward independence. 1.6 wanted status quo + move toward unification. 21 > 1.6. Thanks for providing further evidence!
