I unfortunately need to go to bed now, and in all honesty this is not a topic I'm personally very knowledgeable about, but here is an extensive thread with links to many resources on the subject. Hopefully other users will be able to provide you with a more succinct and direct response fairly soon.

If you had engaged in good faith instead of being rude and combative (not to mention demonstrating extremely weak dunking game), you might have learned a thing or two about some egregious lies you've been told about a country that has been in a constant state of war with an impossibly powerful empire sitting almost literally at its doorstep for several decades now. Alas, instead you chose to be a jerk.

But yeah, it's us Hexbear tankies who are the unpleasant ones. Totally.

libs are just like smug right wingers that don't know they're right wing, where centrists are just dumbasses who think they're smarter then everyone while repeating reactionary bullshit

You realize threads like this are just catnip for us, right?

What I see is a lot of cope

You said there weren't 1.3 billion people in China who supported the PRC. Harvard says you were wrong. We're not talking about the minutiae of Chinese governance here, we're talking about foreign policy.

PS: If you dig into the numbers (page 3 of the report, aka page 6 in the PDF), 70% of people are fairly or very satisfied with their township governments, so don't be taken in by the Harvard cope--it really is bullshit.

lol try again

In 2016, the last year the survey was conducted, 95.5 percent of respondents were either “relatively satisfied” or “highly satisfied” with Beijing.

I wish I knew, but it's hard to get a visa, so I'm stuck in my shithole country (United States).

Hate to break it to you, but even the US state department recognizes that there's no such country as Taiwan. Please call it by its correct name, "Chinese Taipei," so people know what you're talking about.

[-] Sphere@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Taiwan? I think you mean Chinese Taipei.

I think the person you're responding to was joking, just so you know.

Maybe if you only count citizens, but there's a large oppressed population called Palestinians, maybe you've heard of them?

According to Soffer, there are 7.45 million Jews and others along with 7.53 million Arab Israelis and Palestinians living in what he termed the Land of Israel, meaning Israel plus the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
