    On one hand, Taiwan deserves to be free from China, but on the other, relying on an openly genocidal country for it…

      Except the overwhelming majority of Taiwanese people do not want to be free of China, they want the status quo to remain exactly as it is.

        I think the main reason they want the status quo is that they are already effectively an independent nation (just not “officially”), and that any change to the status quo is simply a significant risk to the continued functioning of their effective independent status.

        Well yeah if it doesn’t remain the way it is then their country will be invaded. Tons of them will die. Really understandable why they prefer the status quo. Which which is a de facto, if uneasy and probably nerve wrecking, from of freedom.

        Crazy how quick libs are to excuse genocide.

        “Yeah my party does genocide but they’re the lesser evil”

        “Yeah Taiwan is looking up to a genocidal state but that’s okay because it’s to stop China”
