One is providing defensive weapons against the other that wants to snuff out the views of the majority on the island. There should be nothing surprising about that.

The majority of the people in Taiwan do not consider themselves to be part of the PRC and the indigenous Taiwanese certainly do not.

Have whatever qualms you want about the US but it is pretty clear that China is not wanted in Taiwan.

You honestly think the USA gives the slightest shit about Asians on the other side of the planet? You probably think they care about who governs a sliver of land in the most corrupt shithole in the modern world in Europe too.

The majority of the people in Taiwan do not consider themselves to be part of the PRC and the indigenous Taiwanese certainly do not.

And those indigenous Taiwanese? How do they feel about being Taiwanese?

The US is not wanted in Asia full stop.

I and tons of others in the USgive a shit about people on the other side of the planet. Do you not?

Not sure what country you are talking about in your second part but your statement sounds a little racist.

The indigenous Taiwanese do not consider themselves to be part of China.

The majority of people in Taiwan do want US aid so I'm not sure where you are getting that the US is not wanted. China is not wanted in Taiwan certainly.

You should give a shit about your fellow citizens first and start pretending to be a functioning country before having an opinion about what goes on in Asia. But that's just your white man's burden eh?

Not sure what country you are talking about in your second part but your statement sounds a little racist.

You're not sure what I'm talking about because you're an ignorant supremacist little prick who knows nothing about the world or your blood soaked failed state's involvement in it.

Taiwan is historically part of China and the division was largely created by the US which offered military protection to the KMT, and this division was widened over time as the KMT's White Terror and brainwashing people made people grow up hearing the PRC is backward and evil. Read a book and stop commenting on the internet about shit you haven't a breeze about.

The divide definitely had nothing to do with the purging of all culture and history in favor of ditches filled with dead bodies. The great leap forward was so lit.
