Why should Taiwan declare independence at all? Isnt it PRC that should declare independence from RoC? How can Taiwan declare independence from an entity they never where subservient of but who itself came from them? Not trying to troll, and I realize there is a power dynamic at play that might be the answer to my question. My brain just doesnt compute some things if they arent spelled out :)

PRC’s view is that RoC does not exist, Taiwan is a renegade province of PRC for them

Edit: but also I guess no one on Taiwan is thinking about declaring independence. Because they are independent since 1949.

Trump only just spoke with Xi. He always repeats whatever the last person tells him. Give it a week, he’ll forget.

There’s no chance he remembers even what he ate for breakfast this morning.

He has full-on, poo brain dementia.
