Isn’t it interesting that Taiwan Island’s thin veneer if Librul Democracy peels away when it comes to accepting racial minorities that aren’t White or Japanese? If the DPP claims that “Taiwanese” is a different identity from Chinese, then why can’t Indian people be part of that Taiwanese identity? The PRC recognizes 55 ethnic minorities in China and protects their rights, why are “Taiwanese” people reluctant to even accept living alongside Indian people?
Also, what level of Hell are we at where a government ministry unironically posts “stop the cap”? If you’re going to claim to be a real government, maybe don’t make public statements that a high schooler would make.
They’re still doing the milk tea alliance meme?
Milking it to the bone.
Good lord that tweet is written with the most US focus tested MSM political speak.
Also, MOFA? More like BOFA
I think the CPC could be doing a lot better in its international messaging campaigns, but at least it doesn’t post cringe like this.
Also: BOFA sides of Deez straights are part of China. Amirite?
Damn right.

Finally, an admission that America and Israel are authoritarian regimes.
Using racial hatred to achieve one’s aim is a tactic often employed by authoritarian regimes.
Famous democratic, progressive, and minority loving nation: India, especially under Modi
World’s largest democracy.
And by “democracy”, I mean “good country that aligns with Western interests”. Remember when India refused to embargo Russian oil and there were suddenly all these indian human rights abuses on MSM?
Depressing how this works on so many people in the imperial core and vassals in the periphery. All the bad things in our culture aren’t caused by us, they’re just caused by evil foreign agents coming in and ruining out pristine and perfect superior culture.
Frankly I’m all for Taiwan deciding to fuck off from China on the condition that they return all the palace treasures they stole
That would involve the Taiwan “government” to decide between “we are Taiwanese and not Chinese” and “we are the true Chinese”, which they never will.
A girl can dream ok
No fucking way the Taiwanese are still saying #milkteaalliance. Milk tea was invented by ethnic Mongols, who live in the Mainland and are completely absent from Taiwan. Like a bunch of racist white dudes forming a “#horchataalliance”. Boba liberal government.
Most “Taiwanese culture” is just appropriated wholesale from China and then laundered slightly so that Westoid and Japanese consumers can feel good about consuming culture from “Free and Democratic Taiwan” instead of “Authoritarian Communist China”.
I will die on the hill that “Taiwanese” Xiaolongbao are a shitty imitation of original Shanghai/Jiangsu Xiaolongbao.
idk how I just saw this post now
But holy shit the fascist RoC state is really giving off the same vibes as Ukraine’s posts
