      Hogwarts School of Witchcraft is a boarding school for wizards.

      Same energy in this statement.

          I mean, you posted provably false bs. How can I not troll? Even the state on Taiwan claims Taiwan is only a region of a country, and not a nation lmao

            25% of Taiwanese want independence.

            6.8% of Taiwanese want to join China.

            The others want things to stay the same, I.e functionally independent.

            But hey let’s ignore the will of the people and impose imperialist rhetoric on why they don’t deserve self-determination.

                The 6.8% not wanting to be independent is the telling part.

                Everyone else either wants to openly call themselves independent on carry on as they are in already being functionally independent.

                tl;dr: No one wants to be part of China or not independent.

                  The vast majority of people want things to stay the same. Both independence and reintegration are very small minorities.

                  What that tells me is China has a lot of work to do to entice Taiwan. That’s it.

                    1/4 is not very small.

                    Furthermore keeping things the same is to be independent or do you think China currently controls what they do?

                    After the disaster of HK, Taiwan is never going to join China.
