    Taiwan? The military dictatorship until the mid-1990s, founded by a warlord who slaughtered thousands of civilians? Do you mean that Taiwan? We have to protect that at all costs; in no way is it just a way to expand our military footprint next to a superpower. No, not Ukraine. Taiwan!

    To be fair, (to be fayuuuuh) the history of most countries includes some genocidal bastard. Not usually so recently, and not usually a special bastard like Chang Kai Shek, but for me, that just makes me way more impressed that Taiwan isn't acting like Israel.

    It helps that KFC is actually good outside the US.

    Taiwan (officially the Republic of China) definitely does think of itself as Chinese. The part they disagree with is the "People's Republic" part, not the "China" part.

    It would probably be hilarious if Mainland China was part of Kentucky, specifically.

    Like if it was California that would be lame.

    Real colonizer energy. One of the benefits of central planning and long terms in power is that influence that takes time, becomes viable, like cultural erasure, rewriting of history and the generational impact of intentional cultural narratives.

    China is a collection of conquered people's with their own languages, traditions and history that stretch far beyond even the first colonialist Qin unification, a unification accomplished at the tip of a sword, with blood and violence. None of those conquered people ever chose to be labeled Chinese by their conquerors. They were forced into servitude.
