China to impose 34% retaliatory tariff on all goods imported from the U.S.
-
This again? Taiwan isn't a recognized country. So they would not be interfering with a nation. IF you disagree with that, petition your own country to recognize Taiwan. The funniest thing is I'm Taiwanese and frankly the Taiwanese don't want independence at this point. That's why the Taiwanese congress is majority status quo and about 50/50 on independence and actually returning to China. The reason president Lai won is because the split is so strong that a 40% vote for Lai got him the win. A few more from the people who wanted status quo voted for him instead of Hou at 34%. Yet if you saw what congress did immediately after, which is handcuff him from ever declaring independence, you'll know the will of the Taiwanese.
So all that is to say, no China won't be attacking Taiwan either. That's just nonsense noise from the west, which frankly I as a Taiwanese person is absolutely sick of. The agreement is simple, Taiwan doesn't declare independence and China will at most saber rattle.
Your comment history certainly doesn’t paint you as a Taiwanese individual. More as an American who is desperate to make China look as good as possible…

Good news, or bad news depending on how self reliant your government is. China is doing exactly what it promised it would do if they were the sole super power. Which is we will not interfere with your nation no matter the situation.
So if your like Thailand, or Brazil, wonderful. You get to keep all your freedom and autonomy and China will happily trade with you.
If your Myanmar or Sudan, well good luck revolutionaries. There's no America to stand in your way of overtaking your government. If your the governments of these nations...
If they keep that promise, that's mostly good news IMO. Interference doesn't always go so well.
I think Afghanistan is a good example, we were there for 20 years, trying to establish democracy. And now they are right back where they were 20 years ago.
We can't keep policing such countries indefinitely. This is a link of our (Denmark) losses, as a small country that helped the UN effort.
https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danske_tab_i_Afghanistan_siden_2002It's horrible how they treat their own population, but we can't control the entire Muslim world. And all Muslim dominated countries are horrible AFAIK. So I'm good with staying out, as long as they don't create trouble here. Problem is that they do, sometimes for stupid religious reasons.

Xi got China to #1 world superpower 24 years early!
Without a war.
Congratulations China.
Xi? You misspelled Trump. Congratulations to China anyway.
-
Still what? I've already explained China isn't attacking. And if you would like Taiwan to be independent petition your own government.
That's a bad take. Independence should be in the view of the people living there. I'm not going to gauge if Taiwan is a country based on if I can convince the US to recognize them, that's nonsense garbage logic

Props to Pooty-poot for the assist
props to trump for the assist!

Is Orange Turd going to complain how unfair this is?
This was his response. Very sane. Very calm. Not at all unhinged.

Reported as propaganda, but here's the thing... Technically correct is the best kind of correct, right?
Only 12 agencies recognize Taiwan as an independent state. TWELVE. A short enough list that I can copy/paste it:
Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Holy See (Vatican), Marshall Islands, Palau, Paraguay, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Eswatini and Tuvalu.
That's it. Even the US doesn't explicitly recognize an independent Taiwan. The UN rejected membership in 2007.

To be honest I've been waiting for someone to try to call me out on this. Here's my passport

Of course they will. They're winning. China is patient if anything. That's why even Rubio said they have a 10,000 year plan to take over America. Which is absurd since USA didn't exist then, but that's besides the point. What he's right about is China will wait.

Is it? So you're for the independence of Barcelona? Hawaii? Ireland? Falken Islands? When do they get to choose?

Huh? I'm confused that's my point.

Origjnal comment was reported, probably for the whole "Taiwan isn't a recognized country". As noted, that's largely a true statement.

Oh I see what you're saying now. Yes, I am saying if you're going to argue against my China doesn't militarily support actions by other countries against sovereign nations, then you can't use Taiwan as an example to counter my point as other countries do not recognize Taiwan.

- China’s finance ministry on Friday said it will impose a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the U.S. starting on April 10.
- The ministry criticized Washington’s decision to impose 34% of additional reciprocal levies on China — bringing total U.S. tariffs against the country to 54% — as “inconsistent with international trade rules.”
- U.S. stock futures and European markets fell sharply on news of the reciprocal tariffs.

With USA committing political and economic suicide, the road is now clear for China to become the world dominating power.
I just hope they will take a graceful approach to their role, when nobody is in a position to oppose them.Not a chance. China’s massive xenophobic approach to anyone non-Han Chinese will severely limit their potential.
Point out all the racism in various Western countries, and it pales in comparison to what goes on in China.

Their potential is already proven. Xenophobe or not.

could you provide some evidence you're Taiwanese in Taiwan?

Who's gonna benefit from all this extra taxes?
Public services will sky rocket in 2025! -

I already did, look through my comments.
