Since this is China, you should have just bought a non Chinese car if you expect support.

Open source that shit before you go belly up
I bought and own Civ 6 for Android. I tried to play it on a flight and was pissed because it requires an active internet connection.
So I own a pirated version of it now.
Please leave us alone. We are doing nothing to you. We just want to exist with your torment.
My brother in law says he likes commercials when I offered to remove it. They are over indexing this.
Um… Is NATO weaker with the addition of Sweden and Finland? I’m not sure what your definition of “weak” means. I thought having more allies is not weak.
I’ll give it a try! Thanks!
I actually value my life.
I also did the same thing. I’m back to Mint OS but at the end I’m not much happier.
I own a PS5 and only play Don’t Starve together because they only enable couch coop on console. Bullshit lazy PC devs.
I’m not sure. I really enjoy the image search on bing. Miles ahead of Google
Honestly guys. Bing is better. Bing feels like 2009 Google.
They just use their Mainland Travel Permit. Completely different from what we need to do to go into China.
Trade Relationships: While it’s true that China is Taiwan’s largest trading partner and Taiwan is a significant partner for China, this relationship doesn’t necessarily imply dependency or vulnerability for Taiwan. Taiwan specializes in high-value components like semiconductors, which are crucial for various global industries, thereby diversifying its economic engagements beyond China. Taiwan’s strategic economic engagements with other major economies, including the U.S., Japan, and members of the EU, reduce its economic reliance on China.
Medical Technology and Patent Filings: China filing twice as many patents as Taiwan may indicate volume but doesn’t inherently speak to the quality or global impact of these innovations. Taiwan has a well-established reputation in precision healthcare technologies and medical devices, often leading in specialized sectors that are competitive on a global scale. Moreover, the raw number of patents doesn’t directly translate to technological leadership.
Advancements in Semiconductors: Although China is making significant strides in semiconductor technology, Taiwan’s leadership in this area is built on decades of development and deep integration into global supply chains. The technological gap, especially in advanced semiconductor manufacturing (like 5nm and 3nm technologies), is substantial and not easily bridged. U.S. efforts to limit China’s access to cutting-edge technology further compound these challenges for China. Taiwan’s Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) remains the world’s most advanced chipmaker, underscoring its strategic value.
China’s Self-Reliance in Chip Technology: While China is working towards self-reliance in semiconductor technology, this is a long-term goal that faces multiple challenges, including sanctions and technological complexities. The Economist article points to a gradual reduction in reliance, but it does not imply that China has achieved parity with global leaders or can do without imports in the near term. The quality and performance of semiconductors are critical, and current global leaders like Taiwan and South Korea hold significant competitive advantages.
The Olympics is just China’s way of swinging their power around and forcing the association to call us that. We rather participate than not.
As for formal declaration, why go through the trouble? Even China immigration thinks we are a different country. You know, Taiwanese are required to get a Visa to visit the mainland? Why if they think we are part of China?
We have basically been independent for 75 years now. It’s like a couple that have been together for years and bought a house together. Why have a wedding anymore. Too much hassle.

Local Taiwanese here, the CKS statues don’t mean shit to us. Just the old KMT people who still think we can still overtake the mainland.
We are also not moving closer to independence. We are already independent. We have our own currency, our own democratic government who we once again voted to remain independent.
We do not need China’s support for anything, if anything they need our support with our advanced medical technology and advanced chips.
Honestly, the major issue is that they don’t pay us enough for us to stay longer than 2-3 years. When I was brought onto my job, I was having the hardest time navigating the home grown primitive system they custom built. The people who created this system were no longer working at the company. I was left trying to figure out a system that was custom built, semi functional and poorly maintained using an old confluence and Google doc.
I left the company after 3 years leaving in place of my own custom code, and my own sets of instructions for the next sap that has to try and figure it out.
I just found out that PopOS is getting abandoned. So I’ll just wait for Rust?
100%. Should be an international law.
