Reminder that mainland China and Taiwan are technically still at war.

Hang on, if you’re going to take things that far back and what you’re saying is not technically accurate. China and Taiwan have NEVER been at war. It’s technically a civil war between the Republic of China and the communist uprising. At the same, the Japanese had invaded China. The communists had almost been extinguished. They put aside their differences temporarily to drive out the Japanese. The KMT took more losses, allowing the communists to take over the mainland. The KMT fled to the province of Taiwan - on the island of Formosa.

Yes, that’s the war I’m talking about.

Taiwan continues to be controlled by the government of the Republic of China. Mainland China is controlled by the Communist uprising.

(At least, that’s how the government in Taipei would describe it. The government in Beijing would describe it differently.)

what you’re saying is not technically accurate. China and Taiwan have NEVER been at war.

I said mainland China and Taiwan. They are both part of China. They are two different parts of China fighting a civil war for control of the whole of China. (Technically.)

I understand the distinction between mainland China and Taiwan. Those are not the entities at war. If, by some miracle, the ROC takes over HK or something, it’s still a civil war between the ROC and the communists.

Also, the capital of the ROC has never been Taipei. It’s Nanjing. It’s just currently controlled by the communists

I said “the government in Taipei”. They’re in Taipei, even if that’s not their de jure capital.

Oops that’s my fault sorry

That might just push Taiwan into wanting more independence.

Oh good, we haven’t had a breathless “military does military exercises near controversial border” article in maybe two days…
