    Well yes. One is the result of a bloodthirsty and corrupt military dictatorship which is directly responsible for the deaths of millions, whereas the other is the People’s Republic of China.

    However, both are China as you can see from the names they’ve chosen for themselves.

        “one of the most democratic countries in the world” might be a bit of a stretch here

        Only the PRC is recognized as a country under international law. The RoC government squatting in Taiwan Province is legally no different to the ISIS occupation of parts of Iraq.

        The PRC is one of the few truly sovereign states in the world, able to resist American domination on its own terms. The residents of Taiwan Province get to vote between stooges of American imperialism and stooges of Japanese imperialism.

            It’s obviously a country and it’s useless discussing this further with a tankie.

            Renowned Tankies, the states parties to the Montevideo Convention. Hardcore Stalinists, the lot of them!

            How do you define “American domination” and what other countries do you consider to be affected by it?

            “It’s useless discussing with a Tankie!”, proceeds to discuss with a Tankie. Very good rhetoric, 10/10.
