What are you referring to as “this”?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think the old flag looking like a pride flag

See, I’m leaning towards them thinking the “1928 to now” statement is inaccurate.

The hell does that even mean?

That, from the perspective of Taiwan (aka the Republic of China) mainland China (aka People's Republic of China) to it's west is an illegitimate government that lays claim to lands still claimed by the RoC from before the revolution.

That mainland Taiwan can eat a dick.

Cool. I was trying not to make it political, and y’all come in with some bullshit in my inbox.

Let's discuss a political topic but not make it political. This will totally work on the internet

I don't think disdain for a government that thinks concentration camps are a good idea is something that should be considered controversial, but that's just me.

I don’t think every single conversation about the world has to devolve into whatever this is. The sky is blue. Everyone knows the sky is blue. So, we don’t have to say “The sky is blue” every time we talk about clouds.

I don’t think that’s possible in this case.

yes, this is part of Chinese history.

Republic of China formed by Sun Yat-sen is sincerely praised by both Taiwan & China as the birth of their modern state.

The flag is the 5 races under one union flag, referring to the Han (most), the Manchu, the Hui, the Mongols, & the Tibetians

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

That is the flag of the Republic of China (more often called Taiwan). You're mixing it up with the People's Republic of China (more often called China).

The only Republic I wanna hear about is the Republic of Gamers
