    1/4 is pretty small.

    It’s basically the same as the relationship between the US and Puerto Rico. Lots of autonomy, not independence.

      Okay, think of it this way.

      What exactly is the relationship between the two?

      Do taxpayers of one nation see their taxes spent in the other? No? That’s because Taiwan is not China, and China does not own Taiwan.

      No laws passed in China have effect in Taiwan, China has zero say in how the country is run, but everyone has to pretend that Taiwan is part of China or else Pooh Bear will throw a bitchy fit and invade.

        The Chinese State is heavily invested in Taiwan, it’s clearly not just an independent country.

        China will only invade if the West keeps arming them, because China won’t tolerate an arms buildup in Taiwan. That’s a perfectly reasonable stance. Imagine China started shipping billions of dollars of weapons to Puerto Rico lol

        Ah yes, calling a Chinese man a yellow animal. Definitely not racist.
