China/Taiwan

So, Sup Forums, what do you think of Taiwan? Is it still China or is it just an island of crazy nationalists?

Real China

Taiwan is the true China. Also they have qt women.

I'll always consider Taiwan as the real China.
Maybe not to autism level where I would say "PROC" or similar every time I'm mentioning mainland, but it's still the original country.

PROC, not China until Communism is renounced.

Taiwan is fucked in the long run. If China invades Taiwan, do you really think anyone is going to rush to its aid?

taiwan IS china. If you want undistilled chinese culture and customs before mao tried to erase everything, you go to taiwan

imo its only a matter of time before reunification happens. Taiwan is lagging behind very badly economically. Sooner or later it'll just have to go back to blood family, china.

US annexation of Taiwan when?

TAIWAN #1

The Lantern Festival was quite enjoyable and Taipei is nice

Do you have any idea why a mass murdering dictator and disgusting prick like Mao is still worshipped in China? Don't they have new leaders to look up to? Or is their still the marxist mindset ingrained in China which lead to the cultural revolution and great leap forward?

Fuck off, dirty mainlander.

like how lee's basically sucking all of beijing's dicks?

>what's china, the one where everything was razed to the ground or the one where all its nationalists escaped to?

He isn't, though. The current Chinese Communist Party are capitalists in all but name.

I'm not so sure about that, Deng outlined the three step plan: capitalism, socialism, communism. Although they most probably can't pull it off this way.

Yet Mao's image is still up there on the most important square in China and looking down on military parades like Orthodox Jesus in Russia.

manufacturing:

in terms of cheapness, taiwan cannot fight china

in terms of market share, taiwan cannot fight S. Korea.

their primary market is electronics, and they are getting hammered from both sides. Badly. They missed the innovation boat and the window closed like a vise around them.

hes not really worshipped anymore t b h. To save face his mug is still plastered all over the place but everyone -knows- what happened, especially the younger generation. You cant expect the CCP to come out and say how he fucked up, it'll be embarrassing.

well we're sucking everyone's dick here, even yours. The best defense is being the fuccboi in the gym shower

there are still statues of stalin and lenin in russia today, same thing

Taiwan is still pretty strong in terms of designing and development for high tech. To survive, they need to basically become silicon valley. (apple/google, etc)

Mao's still revered because >muh national hero and founder of the socialist republic.

>crazy nationalists
not even sure i would call them nationalists anymore. most people even though they are Chinese now identify by their political identity - Taiwanese. they just elected a literal lesbian cat lady as president. the KMT is down but probably not out but i'm more worried about more shitty western styled social liberalism affecting society there than mainland China doing anything.

Went to both for work

Taiwan is china but a bit wealthier and more colourful.

I get that. But he's killed more Chinks than the Japs and if China is truly this different, why not look for a new central figure? Like a konfucian Emperor? Worked fine for Russia.

Taiwan is Japan.

taiwan has always been the republican government in exile

unless mainland china invades them, then they are still the chinese government

Taiwan is shit. The ppl there are literally brainwashed faggots

because it's still a one party government and the Party reigns supreme. to maintain that power no body will occupy a place anywhere near it. it isn't so much that Chinese people worship Mao, your average Chinese person probably doesn't give a shit or are wise to him. Keeping Mao as a visible symbol has everything to do with maintaining the status of the Party.

yeah

Taiwan is not China. CHINA is China. You know, the actual Chinese nation, not some random island which houses the government that used to rule China. If Canada becomes communist, and the government flees to Vancouver, is Vancouver now Canada? No you idiots, Canada is Canada and Vancouver is Vancouver.

China is fucking China.

they were much stronger. The gooks are slimy backstabbers. Stole HTC and Apple tech

because it will undermine the power CCP has? if mao fucked up, that means the CCP can/am fucking up too...?

你是中国人吗?

That'll never happen. Even China pays more for talent than Taiwan these days. The only people left in Taiwan are the losers.

>that means the CCP can/am fucking up too...?
Oh so they still need a quasi superhuman and infallible, quasi-religious image? Makes me kinda nostalgic when you don't think of your leadership criticially; much like with humans and mankind in general.

It's hard to admire or love any of them, if you know the reality.

its called saving face/maintaining the facade.........what said

its a convenient delusion/tale/image that the party just let sit there

nobody sane actually believes it anymore

and no most citizens dont like the CCP

not necessarily. it is partially dependent relative to how the rest of the world views the situation. during and coming out of ww2 there were many recognized governments in exile including China's. Taiwan ROC for about 25 years was recognized as the only legitimate China for about 25 years and held that UN seat until Nixon/Kissinger. it only changed because so much time had passed and that it was apparent the nationalists were never going to realistically take back the mainland.

lots of cover-up and propaganda to keep mao the hero

i hate taiwan because they literally suck japans dick at anymoment even though japan does not give a flying fuck
