Obviously America, but you could argue any colonialist, imperialist nation can make this claim.

While the US sponsored regime in the rogue province of Taiwan does indeed oppress the indigenous population and exploit the rest, it's not an actual country.

What makes a country actual?

Recognition by the UN for one.

That's not the UN, that's the US "rules based order" you're describing.

Taiwan is, indeed, a country. I'm sorry you've been brainwashed to believe otherwise.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

it's not according to pretty much every country including the US, sounds like you're the brainwashed ignoramus here

The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means.
