pilight Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I don't support either of them. Their differences are none of my business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishfox Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Eh, it’s a choice between two capitalist countries so I don’t really support either. Odd that so many support Taiwan solely because it’s anti CCP, even though it was founded by a fascist genocider. Propaganda go brrrr I guess. 😕 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cold War was a true, "dirty war," with despicable tactics, and making high criminals around the world, of which those who are still alive, of ANY nationality, bar none, should be tried for their transgressions and lose all political protection. There was no, "winner," in the Cold War, and the fallout, even if, fortunately, not nuclear, still affects the global stage for the worse to this day... Well, Chiang's Party isn't the one ruling.

vcczar Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'm rarely either/or when it comes to one country or another. So let me say this: I support Taiwan's independence and their on-going quest for recognition of that independence. I support defending that independence in the event China invades. I support China's desire to compete with the US and the Western world as I believe in a shared world. I think they, as well as all countries, have a right to challenge our leadership. I welcome that challenge. I DO NOT support any human rights violations by any of these countries or by any country, my country included. I DO NOT support military aggression or bellicose foreign policy by any country, my country included. I DO NOT support the philosophy of exceptionalism--the idea that one's culture, politics, philosophy, or people--are chosen or superior to others, my country included.

Whatever disagreements you had with him previously, he is not the ruler of the country right now. Taiwan is a little island that is constantly under threat from the Chinese state. Which is largely an authoritarian dictatorship. Once again, you prove that you have not even the slightest clue of what you're talking about. I'm no expert either but I think any sensible person that pays attention to history and current events can say that Taiwan deserves to be protected from China. Funny how you have a tendency to oppose the "little guys" like Israel, like Taiwan. (Both Democracies) You're probably just upset your idol, Chairman Mao is long gone.

They're foreign policy, specifically, is rarely better than China's or the USSR's/Russia's, to be honest. And, the U.S. installs more new tyrants or chaotic messes in nations than democracies, to be honest. So you'd say that an authoritarian dictatorship like China would be preferable to current U.S. policy? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are overblowing where China would fit in my idea of a shared world. There are 195 countries. They have about 19% of the world's population. In my idea of a shared world, they would have significantly less influence in a world that is shared, considering their totalitarian dictatorship is a minority philosophy. Nevertheless, they should have a say, just as any country has, and they do contain 19% of the world's population. India has the same population basically. If influence was allowable based on population, then India could cancel out China's "world votes" on their own in a hypothetical world government. They'd have the same number of Reps. It would be interesting to see how a world government would look like if there was a Senate and House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
