As far as Taipei, it’s not oppressed, the opposite. It’s allowed to control itself under the guidance of the government, as it always has. That’s the definition of an autonomous region.

Texas: They aren’t even allowed to get basic healthcare there, or have a gender.
Taiwan: sure, that’s why literally nobody complains about CCP presence….oh wait. Are you usually in the habit of denying reality and ignoring your own eyes?

Texas is oppressing itself on the first part, but goddamnit that’s their right … the morons.

For Texas, that’s their choice. They actively choose that, and have the freedom to do so. The US isn’t making them. They aren’t oppressed.
As far as Taipei, in any group of people you’ll always have some people complaining about something. There are fewer people pushing for an independent Taiwan than there is pushing for an independent Texas.

Texas is willingly part of the USA.
Any real secessionist movement is a farce.
Taiwan on the other hand is not part of China, it’s a nation of its own and has as much claim to mainland China as the mainland does to Taiwan.
Taiwan being a democracy makes it the easy choice.
Tibet should be free too, but unfortunately doesn’t have the backing of Nuclear Powers to keep it so.

So you understand that the secessionist movement in Texas is a farce that never has majority support but despite that also being the case in Taiwan you don’t believe it?
The independence party in Taiwan’s local government never gets anywhere and has never had majority support. The current Taiwanese government does not support independence.
Also no. The last time Tibet was free that had institutionalized child sex slaves for members of their theocratic government. Those monsters should never be in power again, and now that their former slaves are free and members of a country that treats them equally, they agree.
It’s just former aristocrats that again owned child sex slaves, like the dalai lama, that think tibet should be “free”. But I guess it’s only natural people from the country with no law against child marriages would support Tibets return to their old society.
