jesus christ, do you not know that taiwan was the retreat base of the losing faction of the civil war? they’re literally chinese and speak mandarin and other variation of dialects coming from mainland lmao. the kuomintang ruled with an iron fist for decades up until recently, they also purged any opposition on the island (look up the White terror), isn’t it curious how all these “free” democracies were imposed by force?
They speak another language, have their own cultural heritage.
The Wikipedia page for Taiwan alone would prove this to be utterly false[1]. How can you speak with such authority when you know you’re talking out your ass?
The rest of you what you wrote isn’t much better. It’s just the standard anti-China & anti-communist Western propaganda talking points.
Taiwan is not sovereign, the government is a us puppet state, which is armed by us in gross violation of the us one china policy. If us puppet is your view of democracy then I see why you have no issue. All since beginning KMT was so horribly undemocratic, that even the maoists seemed very moderate. Some of the most vile stuff ive ever read came from kmt white terror(even wiki has some). I hope that im wrong, but the germans seem to like former nazi friendly states. Kmt had numerous connections to fascists and nazis.
Taiwanese are rich thanks to massive investments from US. As for the comparison to mainland, cpc managed an unprecedented in history wealth creation, comparing small part of china which received massive foreign capital inflow seems almost unreasonable.
Many taiwanese have also mainland residence, talk about not benefiting. What exactly do you mean by pro cpc propaganda? I get it it sounds bad, but why is it ok to run political ads in west and not in east?

What do you think this is, Reddit?
Excepting the tiny minority of indigenous Formosans, whom the fascist KMT overran them when it retreated from the mainland… ↩︎
