You are just flat out fucking wrong. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 years ago (1 child) The "status quo" for most Taiwanese is de facto separation genius, and they don't want to do anything rash. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Awoo@hexbear.net 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) No it isn't. The status quo is that Taiwan is a region of China, independently governed. This is the case for MANY places around the world, here in the UK for example we have Scottish and Welsh governments, independent of the UK government. Scotland has its own parliament. Does that make it independent? Fuck no it doesn't and there's no mechanism for it to leave either. There are MORE people in Scotland that want Scottish independence than Taiwan. Chew on that for a bit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 years ago (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Awoo@hexbear.net 6 points 3 years ago* (1 child) This is semantics.
