China is part of Taiwan.

Or more precisely, PRC is rebelled provinces of China.

Hello from Taiwan, while your heart’s in the right place this meme actually plays into China’s hands as it fits their one-china narrative. Taiwan considers itself an independent nation and hopes the wider international community will begin treating it as such.

Last time I heard you still officially maintain your claims to mainland China, Mongolia and part of Russia and India.

Also, I wouldnt say his heart is in the right place. PRC is the direct result of the faliure of the KMT junta and its widespread terror.

Either “China” only ever hurt mainland. Taiwan is a democracy that circumstantially became viable and manageable (even then, it took decades) on an island with the population of 20 million people.

I agree with your sentiment that Taiwan is probably better off by itself. Nobody actually knows how to manage mainland properly.

acknowledging the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China

The US “acknowledges China’s position” on Taiwan, but carefully avoids an explicit official stance on Taiwanese sovereignty.

Coincidently, Taiwan position is the same.

They don’t acknowledge Taiwan “sovereignty” because they support the claim that the legitimate government of all of China is the one in Taiwan.

I wonder if the US also “acknowledges UKs position” on the Falklands or straight up supports them because they’re in bed together

Taiwan can use VPN (not restricted) and not against the law. Just saying.

Against Taiwanese law. Taiwan is an independent nation and its liberty is non-negotiable.

Ok, calm down a bit. Even the Taiwanese do not claim to be independent. Their official stance is that they are just a rival government of China - aka Republic of China. For all the sabre-rattling, Taiwan is very much willing to negotiate with Bejing.

I do hope that, as much of Taiwanese public seemingly wants, Taiwan becomes an independent island nation, but we are still far off from that, at least in de jure sense.
