  en.wikipedia.org/…/International_recognition_of_T…

  Get out of here.

  Did you read that article, though? Did you notice how many UN member states actually recognize the Republic of China (Taiwan) as a country? Eleven.

  For comparison, a lot of people in the United States and Europe would confidently tell you that Palestine is definitely not a country, but it is actually recognized as one by 157 of the 193 members of the UN.

    Thats why its a joke to us here in the states where the common sentiment is with the rebellious colony breaking away from its imperialist roots.

    Id sooner block you than get in to a discussion about Palestine with you knowing I agree Palestine should have statehood from the onset.

    Do you acknowledge that Taiwan is an independent country?

      What do you mean? Taiwan is independent for all intents and purposes, but is not, nor does it claim to be, formally an independent country. I acknowledge that reality, yes.

        Taiwan is an independent country.

        Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC) is a country in East Asia

      No, it’s not about “China” not accepting Taiwan as a country, because “China” does not typically engage in text messages, seeing as it’s not a person.

      It’s about a stereotypical Chinese person acting and speaking in a way that the person who created the fake texts decided to make them. Which is, first trying to scam people, then being so triggered by the mention of Taiwan that they break character, then misspelling a word in a stereotypical way.

      Taiwan is just how you justify the rest of it to yourself.
