This is the same "international recognition" that doesn't consider Taiwan to be a legitimate government?

International recognition isn't worth shit. Ansarallah has de facto control over the vast majority of Yemen's territory. Just as the ROC is the government of Taiwan, Ansarallah is the government of Yemen.

I have seen this level of argumentation by an anonymous Scottish Nazi (yes, actual English NatSoc) while talking to me. Sounds about correct for your ilk.

So... You think the ROC isn't the government of Taiwan?

[–] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

LMAO you are so stupid. ROC is not a fucking government, it is the official name of Taiwan, Republic of China. The government in ROC province is a ruling party DPP, that is a US stooge, and is falling out of favour with the Taiwanese locals, as both Kuomintang and the Taiwanese people are wanting to reunite with the mainland, free of US/NATO interference. They have seen what happened to Ukraine, and they do not want Taiwan to become another used condom for American superimperialist war fetishes.

Both the KMT and the TPP are in favour of closer ties, not reunification.

It's far more likely Taiwan ends up in a One Country, Two Systems dynamic.

Delusion is peaking, beware. Formosa no longer wants to stay away from their true brethren, Chinese people, which they themselves are too. America and white/English people will never be friends or their own people.

I wonder if you ever noticed that Taiwan never launched their own currency, or declared independence and asked for dejure sovereign status. There must be a reason for that. Try to look at it critically.

Thank you for providing a good example! I'm really not sure what the status of Taiwan's Sovereignty would be, but it's definitely something to think about.
